[wp-hackers] Re: wp-hackers Digest, Vol 37, Issue 40

[Jonathan Dingman]

Jennifer,

Great, thanks for the suggestion.

Is there anything, maybe in more detail, that anyone else (or yourself
Jennifer), can offer to get this working?  I'm not an experienced
programmer, but I know how to hack my way around with PHP.

Thanks everyone!

Jonathan
