Publishing solved.. for now

As I've mentioned previously, I've been working to improve how the publishing to stage and live servers works on the main content management system.

I've just finished up with the changes, and this is how we went:
Changed the button "Insert to Stage" to "Save". On the titles, and the dvd's this either inserts to both stage and production with approved as no to both, or updates stage, setting stage to approved as no.
Another user can go to an extra page I made which checks the titles, and dvd tables, for all records that are active, but approved is no, and they can select "approve to go live". This updates stage to approved is yes, and production as approved is yes, and copies stage record to production.

The only places it's really different is for images related to the titles, videos, buy links and the such. These only have "save" and it updates and sets as approved on stage and production always. We decided that this stuff since it was part of the titles or the dvd's anyhow, should always go live, and doesn't need separate approval.

Now it's Friday at 3pm, and I've finished everything on that rather major project, so don't want to start anything new.. What to do.. What to do..
