Title: Added 'statuses' as a completely new post type.

Hi!

I have added completely new post type named 'status' post. As you can see on the images below, the main goal of this new feature is to make the index page way more cooler and adorable as well as add a way for site administrators to simply express their feelings to the whole world of internet :D

I personally think that people would rather prefer to share their favorite quotes and other similar stuff in this way.

Now, let me show you the current result.

This is how the 'status' post looks like:
![status01](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/7317552/3441037/569bbdd8-00ff-11e4-9e92-e84ea909eaa1.png)

As you can see, I've included brand new icon font to the source codes. I am absolutely aware that we already have one such font included, but that one didn't fit my needs. I'd like to replace the old 'icomoon' font with the new 'FontAwesome'. The new one luckily has all needed features to replace the old font so it should not be a problem! :) But let's continue in the image showcase for now.

After clicking the 'status' post normal post view shows up:
![status02](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/7317552/3441091/0da6adc6-0100-11e4-8614-1ad4b42172af.png)

The 'status' will ALWAYS render only first paragraph of the post to the index page however it will render full post to the post view page.

*//TODO: I'd like to make the first paragraph in the post view site look exactly like the quotation included in 'perception-of-design.html'*

Here you can see how a very short 'status' would look like:
![status03](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/7317552/3441131/d97075d6-0100-11e4-825d-a3e436521386.png)

And finally, here you can see how 'status' posts looks among other usual entries:
![status04](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/7317552/3441143/ef68e24c-0100-11e4-9132-4ff8c10fbc17.png)

How do you feel about this? I gotta say that the source code is pretty hard-coded right now. It would take more effort to make it look good on mobile devices etc.
I just wanted to share the initial idea with you and hear your opinions or suggestions.

Anyway thanks for reading my post all the way down here, I guess it was quite a lot of text :D
