New Revisions Page
04:50 AM: I’ve been screwing around all night with developing a new page for the blogs, which will allow readers to retrieve a list of posts that were modified within the last 24 hours from when they make the request. This will provide another means for quick discovery of my recent blog authoring, by readers as well as search engines. The modifications need not appear directly on the blog’s home page to be listed on this new page. This code will facilitate the automation of the nightly reports that are currently posted manually, by me, that give lists of changed documents for the preceding day. Look for progress on this effort in the comments attached to this post.

03:55 PM: So far, I’ve accomplished the following:
* Developed the needed SQL query needed to fetch this information, using the PHPAdmin database client.
* Created and installed a template file for displaying the recently modified posts, in the Tom’s Diary blog.
Current Issues
* How to apply a WHERE clause to the WP_Query object in WordPress. I’m investigating this now.
01:09 AM: All issues have been resolved and the new page is working beautifully. You can find the link to it in the sidebar, under the Pages heading. It’s called Recent Revisions.
02:20 AM: I’ve added this page to the Tom’s Love Quest and Tom’s Views blogs as well.

The pages seem to work well. So this project is complete.
