New Posting UI on Goldfrog

- It’s only used on the home page to power the new switchable post form, and
- It powers a character-counter for the note UI.

I’m trying to implement some basic progressive enhancement - the forms work as is without javascript, but the switcher and the counter are niceties for me, the author.
