[IMC-Boston-Editorial] Editorial conflict & new feature

[Sofia JarrinT]

Hi Jamie,

It was me, it was me! I confess I was in a bit of a
editorial pissed mood and hid that article. Thanks for
keeping me on check. 

I also just centered a new feature written by Svea.

And just to let you know guys that I spoke to Diego on
the phone and he's going to attempt creating captchas
for our site to control spam...  He mentioned to Jon
he would do so but hasn't had time. If it works, we'll
have a breather to continue the design of the new
site.

peace & love,
sofia
