* Extend block_manager to handle sidebar blocks. get_available has become get_available_admin_blocks, get_list becomes get_admin_list.
* Create new functions get_available_site_blocks which will look for gallery_block get_available_site_blocks.
* Refactor sidebar_blocks into a separate function and then call block_manager::get_html(site.sidebar). Convert image_block to use block management instead of theme::sidebar_blocks
* Change the block_manager api so that the theme is passed into the get method. convert info to the new sidebar block approach
* Convert the user module to use the new sidebar block structure. remove the installers for info and image_block modules.
* Convert tag and rss modules to the new sidebar framework. reset the version number to 1 for info and image_block modules.
* Change the get_html method to ignore empty blocks and change the individual handlers to return an empty string if no block is generated
* Add a warning message if no sidebar blocks are active and provide a link to the admin page that configures the sidebar.
File_Structure_Test to make sure we don't regress.
According to the PHP docs, the "public" keyword is implied on static
functions, so remove it. Also, require private static functions to
start with an _.

* Refactor blocks so that they have a separate id vs css_id. This way
we can have a unique identifier for each visual block.
* Store blocks with a random id as their unique identifier
* Add Admin_Dashboard::remove_block() and modify
themes/admin_default/views/block.html.php to call it when you click the
remove box.
- And refactor printf to our string interpolation / pluralization syntax
- Also, a slight change to the translations_incomings table, using binary(16) instead of char(32) as message key.
2) Replaced it with a string field (state) which contains the state of the comment. i.e. published, unpublished, spam. Unsure if we want to create constants in comments.php to standardize the valid values... thoughts?
3) synchronized the spamfilter and comment unit tests with the current functionality
The comment block has changed to only display comments that are visible.
And there is code added to call the spam_filter helper if the spam_filter module is installed.
and XML for now, we have no driver for those technologies so anything
we implement is not going to be sufficiently tested and therefore
it'll be broken.
Change all comment functions to return JSON and update the JS to deal
purely with JSON. This is our new protocol for talking to the browser
and it should be flexible and portable.
Create comments.html.php. This duplicates comment.html.php, but will
be more efficient for rendering comments since we won't be creating a
new View for every comment we render.
