thank again Dr.
I downloaded it, put it up in the plugins folder (as instructed)
but when i activate it, the whole site gone blank. with a couple of
"database error" notification lines.
Tried it twice, both failed. so i deleted it and the site came back
normal.
maybe it's conflicting with my version of WP. not sure. but will keep
going back there to see updates.
thanks.
