Upgrading to the latest Typo

I've been reading about a number of significant improvements to the Subversion HEAD of Typo, so I decided to give upgrading a shot.

The imminent release of Typo 2.5 includes the sidebar/plugin patch created by Scott Laird, Page Caching, and theming. Please let me know if you see any inconsistencies or problems with the style of the blog now. I tried to quickly port over my old images, layout and styles to a new theme. Also, you should notice this blog being a bit zippier wiht the page caching. Lastly, I'm trying to work out a good way to include the Google ads in the pages. For single-article links, I'd like it if the sidebar ads were not displayed - but I wanted to include the ads as a sidebar static content.

I think perhaps a "Dynamic" sidebar plugin would do the trick. It'd work close to the same as a "Static" plugin, but evaluate the ERb that was included. Or a less ambitiuous "Conditional Static" plugin which is only shown on specific controllers or actions.

A cautionary note: rake migrate doesn't appear to work in SVN head for Typo when simply executing it from the command-line. You need to start up the server with the new code against the old DB and enter the admin pages, where you'll be prompted to upgrade your database.
