New feature: Cookies!

Hi gang,

I've added a new feature to the Cryptogram Blog. Now the current state of the puzzles you are working on is saved in a browser cookie. So, if you have made some progress on a puzzle but you have to go, you can close your browser and come back to it later. Also, there is no more danger from pressing F5 anymore, because you won't lose your progress.

The cookies are set to live for 5 days, and the cookie for a puzzle is cleared once you solve it. Hope you like it!

(UPDATE: For users of IE, you might need to change your cookie settings. Go to Tools -> Internet Options, then click the tab for Privacy. The slider needs to be on 'Low' or 'Accept All Cookies' for this feature to work.)

--Mike
