Happy New Year!

I spent a good deal of time yesterday rewriting the site so that it could support pagination. As a side effect, there are now permalinks to all individual cone posts, and each contributor has a dedicated page with only their submissions.

There's also aleaderboard now, because I thought it would be funny.
