	USAGE!
	Stick this in your page somewhere, with the div you want to inject the new content into as the argument. 
	Here, the injected_div is `.index_polls`. For it to work, you need to have a raw version of your content to inject.
	The raw version should take the format <page>?format=list_only&page=[pagenumber].

Thoughts on twitter attribution

via      Used when attributing link/tweet/idea to others, 
         but attributing tweet either quoted from 
         linked work (not tweet) or originally written. 
         Attribution in form of twitter username 
         or full real name.
         
         Links gathered from twitter users to *their own*
         blog or site do not require via. This

BLOCKERS

• less verbose template code
• authentication - basic?
• pretty default template. 960gs? how to integrate css?

NICE TO HAVE

• work on assignment/unassignment on manage homepage.. make everything work from one form
• validate homepage paths for directory-ness and if the location actually exists..
