Resolved - Remember which page last visited after leaving site

implemented on 22jul2013

Idea from page 31 in Jef Raskin's book: The Humane Interface.

After re-launching the browser, display the page that was viewed last on the previous visit.

Will need to store this cookie info. nope. not now, anway.

But this applies to the same device. Accessing the site the next time on a different device will incite different behavior.

Will require setting another cookie, unless the information is stored in database table, so that the last page will be accessed regardless of device, but this applies only when the user logs in.

update 22jul2013: chose to make it work only for logged-in users. added a new column to the users table. each time a blog post is viewed, this new column is updated with the id of the current blog post being viewed. the next time the user logs in or if saved login, the next time the user accesses the home page, the last blog post viewed will be displayed. a new cookie called "current" is set too to make this work.

To make this work whether logged in or not, it would have to rely on the cookie.
