No start, new battery...questions

Alright here's the deal:
Last night got out of work, fairly cold, around 20 something, car started fine.

This morning, the battery seems toast. It was a little colder, around 15. But battery tired way too quickly. Thats ok, it was an old battery anyhow. I replace with a new battery. Now the car will not start at all. Nothing, zero, zilch. Just cranks and cranks. I have the filament style plugs, and I am curious if my glow plug light will still function even if one of these plugs is shot. There is no difference from when it started nicely last night. Also, just curious if there is a picture anywhere on how the porcelain resistors need to be set up: I want to make sure all my plugs are getting juice. Any ideas?
