So you are new to Lua? So am I! I started in February when I decided that my template would probably be better implemented using Lua rather than a maze of parser functions.

Anyways, to address Lagu Sigel's concern about repeated calculations, I believe the Lua is executed only when the page is rendered; not every time someone loads it. Pages are rendered when either an edit has been submitted, requested by a user, or at least 24 hours have passed since it was last rendered. So if you are concerned about excess server load due to repeated calculations, I don't think you have to worry.
