A couple more blog post fixes

I've added the ability for admins to create blog posts that contain html and/or bbcode or even that don't accept either. (Resolved by Devenon in response to my specific feature request.)

I've also added the ability for admins to create blog posts that are tagged as unpublished (or to edit existing posts to unpublished status) so that they don't show up at all on the site. This would be useful in the event that an admin wanted to write up a blog that was really big (thus taking longer than one sitting) or that they didn't want to make public 'yet'. (Discovered/Resolved by Devenon.)

Now, here's the fun part, this post includes both BBCode and HTML, but I'll bet you can't tell where it's got which! ;)

By the way, this added html support does not extend to blog comments because the folks currently testing/developing sandbox features felt that there are just too many ways that full html support could be abused to create security breaches and since comments can be posted by anyone, it was decided to only add the html support to blog posts. :shrug:

Also, on a more personal note, Dragona and I have imported all of our existing blogs (and their respective comments) from our MySpace profiles and I've adjusted their post date/time stamps to match the originals. Once we get the rest of the pages and such here done and transfer anything else we feel we have a need/use for at MySpace and at Yahoo 360 and the other similar sites, we'll make public announcements at each of those sites that we're now using this site exclusively instead. Hopefully, I'll very shortly be adding the 'archives' links that Kiasyn and Samson currently have on their sandbox sites so navigation to read those older blogs will be much easier too.
