I put in the change from Timestamp to Datetime because in Mysql if you insert a 
NULL value into a Timestamp column then Mysql will automatically set it to the 
current date/time.  The modification I made to the way pubtime works requires 
that we be able to save draft entries with a NULL pubtime.

In Mysql the Timestamp and Datetime are the exact same thing except that a 
Datetime will never be set automatically.
