minor changes, an explanation, and thanks

In response to your feedback, we've uploaded some changes to the reddit bookmarklet set. Now, you'll find a "reddit this" button that will take you to a submit page if the link has not been submitted, or if it has, will take you to the comments page to let you comment or share it to your heart's content.

Please update your toolbar accordingly, it will thank you.

Also, I wanted to personally explain the rationale for Monday's logo -- the mascot was indeed dressed as a football player (for all of our international redditors, I know that there is only one true football [and the USA's version isn't it] but please humor me). Our favorite team won in the first round of the NFL playoffs this past weekend (and we're not sure they'll still be in it next week) so we thought we'd celebrate it while we could.

Don't worry, there'll be a World Cup logo sometime this summer.

Oh, and you may also have noticed some changes to the FAQ; a number of you helped us out with this. We're still planning to expand our 'help' section, but this should help in the short-term. Also, a little while ago, a user suggested that we sell our reddit gear at a minor profit as opposed to none at all... as counter-intuitive as it seemed at the time, we've actually started getting sales as a result -- thank you!
