record in our table.  The function also takes several input variables.
Title is required
Body is required
Creation date is optional and defaults to now
Creation user, required, is the user id owns the object
Creation ip is optional
Context id, required, is the id of the package instance.  This allows 
segregation of records by package, required to make the package 
"package-aware."
