[geeklog-devel] Story images & Icons

[Oliver Spiesshofer]

This will not invalidate any of the plugins.
The code in existing stories will still work. Once you change a story in 
the new version it will replace the old html code with the new one. The 
themes should not be affected at all.
However, if we do this, there will be a mix of old-version stories and 
new version stories, and a cahnge in css will only affect the new ones.
The other things that could be css instead of markup, and I have been 
working on may of those. If you see more, tell me and I will put them on 
the list.
