Recommendations, advert options

New shiny things today.

We got Recommendations, which let you post a public recommendation of another Entrecard site. The recommendations are approval-only, so they're not exactly going to paint an unbiased picture of a given blog, but at the same time they do help people get a feel for what the blog is, whether it does a good job and it lets people who like a given blog show some appreciation in a meaningful way.

That's basically why I did it anyway :)

In other news, we have the option to switch off advertising for your entrecard. When you do this (under Advert settings) your card will no longer accept adverts (the ones you have queued will continue to display as normal). The objective is to prevent people who are, say, going on holiday or otherwise too occupied to avoid ending up with a massive pending queue and then irritating everyone with a string of rejects.
