This Time Last Year

 
This Time Last Year
There is a new widget in the middle column - brought back the "this time last year" widget.
It automatically displays whatever was posted this time last year today.
But folks who have been reading for more than a year may not want to see it so you can choose from your settings panel to hide it. The settings tab is on the top page next to the News Items tab.
You can also hide the "articles currently being read" , "Japan news" widgets and all comments on the top page too. Fixed a few bugs so that when you switch the ajax tabs, layers actually stay hidden. 
You may need to refresh your browser after setting your preferences.

Technical folks may be interested in the query that does this which is...
$query="select * from $sometable where MONTH($your_date_field) = MONTH(current_date) and DAY($your_date_field) = DAY(NOW()) and YEAR($your_date_field) = YEAR(current_date - interval 1 year)";

Definitely possible, but not very informative as all pictures and text would be fuzzy and blurred.

You get the date from your server? Japan Time? Or PC Locale time?

Just wondering if here would change from midnight or on your midnight =)
