Notes on the page with recent hashes

Some notes about the recent-hashes page and a call for volunteers to help out :-) I'm sure we can get to all of this soon, but more hands will certainly expedite the process, seeing as we're all working folk :-)

On the recent-hashes page, we maintain a rolling list of the 100 most recent submissions from people who tried to find their celebrity doppelgangers using HashThySelf. This is a place-holder page under development, and so watch for improvements in the near future. Of course, we are open to suggestions and comments on what to put in here or how to lay it out (There might be a tee-shirt in it for you :-) especially if you volunteer to take on the task or one of the ones below!

Some of the things that are planned:

1. Only present successful hashes. If the algorithm failed to register or recognize a face, the submission won't be listed here.
2. Layout with twin frames, with the Google Ad running as a scyscraper on the far right.
3. Include a dynamically updating timer that shows when this page will be refreshed next
4. Categorize submissions by date, and present a link going further back into history to retrieve older hashes.
5. Show the user's "blurb" (a small snippet of blog-like text) along with their hash. HashThySelf users have an opportunity to enter this along with their photo on the main page.
6. Categorize/Compartmentalize the Hashes in some way to be more space-efficient on this page
