From date to datetime

Creation and modification info for all records is now stored in MySQL's datetime format, rather than the date format we'd been using. The datetime format is "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" instead of just "YYYY-MM-DD."

The simple date format had been sufficient for our needs, but it did make it difficult to know the true order in which records were added within a given day. Now that we have an RSS feed, however, the precise time is more important.
