Users

Haven't had much chance to work on this recently, but made some time for the past week or so. I found Authlogic, a premade Rails user package that seems pretty powerful and easy to use. Following some tutorials the site is now capable of simple user registration, login and logout, and profile editing.

Things to work on:
1. User registration validated by email or Captcha
2. Limiting certain site functions (like new site submission?) to logged in users.

I still haven't figured out how to do the FMyLife voting scheme. For those that don't know, fmylife's entries each have a vote up and vote down function. The magic is that you don't need to be logged in or registered to vote, it simply allows you to vote. When you do, the option to vote goes away for that entry. How do they do it?? Some sort of javascript, but what? That's what I'd like U's voting to be.
