Tagline is fixed, but article still uses my copy of the image.
Will be there a possibility for authors to edit their own articles?

I have been thinking on how to do the edit own articles bit in case it got abused somehow but it's probably quite safe I guess.

I think that edits should require editors approval(after all, article submission require the same),
there should be a limited pool of pending edit requests available to each writer(so one account can't flood the system with the bogus edit request), 
automatic edit rejection after set time 
and writer should be able to cancel his/her edit requests without any penalty.

After reaching some limit of rejected edits, edit privilege should be restricted for some time. I don't believe that the last thing is needed, because in case of abuse account could be restricted manually. 
What do you think?

Updates:
Twitter embedding in articles no longer has massive gaps after them.
RSS feed for articles now includes the image.

As for edits, yes that's a good way to do it, simply require approval, will add it to my TODO :)

I just realized the Admin CP home has a private personal notes feature. I tried creating a note but either it was never stored or it has gone straight to the limbo, but the fact is that I cannot see any note there.

Is that feature supposed to be functional?

A complete boo-boo on my part, I didn't give you a sql row in the admin notes section :(

I will make a user promotion system to prevent this in future.

Sorry!

PS. Fixed now of course.

Yep, I tried adding a new one and it works. Thanks!

New feature for admins on the new website:
When accepting a news submission you can now opt to click a checkbox and have it posted under your username, I find it quite annoying being given a really poor article, rewriting it, finding new media etc and then approving it under someone else.

It's either that or note the info down, deny the article, then go to write a new one.

At least now you can just re-do it from the same screen and select to use your username :)
