If you have a user level of more than 1 (i.e. 2) then at the top of the 
submitted lists, you will get a list of all the items marked "approved". 
You should then be able to select one and add it after checking the details.

The 'added' status in the submitted lists just marks items as such, but 
doesn't actually make them available on the site. This is useful if the 
submitted item was an update to an existing item, and therefore you 
don't actually want to add it to the site again. What we really need is 
a proper "update" function for users though.

We're going to be looking into file upload functions soon, since the 
trial using the splash screen contest seems to be going well.

It would be interesting if we could start changing any of the function 
names that are prefixed with ago_ into something more generic. This 
should be a relatively easy search and replace task, so if anyone feels 
like having a go, make sure you e-mail me the patch!
