Circle page cleanup

A new build is going live tonight with improvements to the circle home pages.

The list of recent posts has been changed to much smaller, cleaner and indexable so your circles will get visibility in search engines.

The way it works now is we show only posts less than 5 days old unless the only post from that site is older than 5 days, then we show it anyway to make sure that every site in the circle shows at least one post.

This means for active bloggers the last 5 days of your posts will show up, and if you don't post that often then at least you still are included.

I've tested this out with some of the more busy circles and it should dramatically cut down on the load time of the pages and the clutter.

Additionally there was a "hidden" feature that was there before, where if you held your mouse still over a link you would get your browser's "tooltip" showing the summary of the post behind that link. This was cool and all, but hard to discover, so I made a fancy new version that pops up immediatley.

My wife tells it's better...so who am I to argue? :)

The build should be up around 2:30 AM Eastern time, when I usually do my late night installs.

UPDATE: build is now live.. please tell me what you think of the visual changes to the page, good or bad? :)
