Added journal entries to the user gallery and added image sorting on projects

I still have a lot of work left before the user galleries are anything that will potentially start gravitating users. But I'm moving the basic lego blocks into place. The gallery page now shows the two most recent projects and a list of recent journal entries.

I need to figure out how I want to divide the screen real estate between project cards and journal list items. I might have to make this configurable since this may need to be case by case. I want galleries to be largely standardized, but I also want them to work for the purposes of showcasing projects and the thoughts of that went into them. Still need to think some more on this...

I also still have a lot of basic stuff that's actively getting in my way as a user. To that end, I implemented sorting for the images in projects.

Up to this point, I could add/remove images, but I couldn't change the orders. A couple of times, I went to the database to make some changes. That should have been a red flag that I should have just bitten the bullet and made this change.

It's pretty simple stuff. The control elements only show on hover, but for the purposes of mobile, they are always present when on a smaller screen. I probably should have also added some transparency for this case as well. But oh well.

Another day, another piece of stone chiseled away from the rock!
