Minor Site Changes

Publishing an essay is now a two step process. You must now click the "Preview" button before the "Publish" button displays. IOW you must preview the essay before publishing.

Clicking the button to publish any content (essay, comment, delete, etc.) will now disable the button and a spinning "Processing" symbol will be displayed until the initial request to the server is returned. This should help with the double posts as a double click will not be possible.

About framing

Which campaign would gather more support?

"Reject First Past The Post"
