Title: Fixes issue with IE8 not displaying new liveblog post notifications.

Date.now() is not supported in IE8 and breaks auto notification of new liveblog posts. However, Date().getTime() is supported.

Fixes issue #44.

Tested and confirmed working in IE8 now, as well as:
* Chrome v. 22.0.1229.94 m
* Firefox v. 16.0.1
* IE 9.0.8112.16421
