Remember to hit reload every day or else the new card may not load!

I plan on sorting the old Card of the Day files by alpha within color soon. To specify what pages are new (sometimes I do more than one within 24 hours), I plan to put some kind of marker besides files updated within one week or so. This date thing has some good points, but I'm starting to think there are more bad points. Chris.
