1. It looks like this is a typo, should probably be "latest"

}
$DB_site->free_result($lastest);
}

2. It is necessary to use stripslashes in a couple of places to prevent escaped quotes, i.e., Fred\'s Comment
Just inside the while loop add:

	 $latest[entrytitle]="".stripslashes($latest[entrytitle]);
	 $latest[entrytext]="".stripslashes($latest[entrytext]);

Don't ask me what the "". part is about, I'm just making it consistent with the existing code.

3. I added in a count of the comments in both the query and the templatebits

4. It would be very helpful if the hack installation instructions identify specifically (by link) which Journal it is intended for use. I think I have found about three threads that claim to be vbJournal and several versions of some.

At any rate it looks like it's incompatible with my version of "vbJournal" - now I have to figure out which version that is. Some port of Ryangel's hack I found on vbtemplates.org, I think.

5. I was able to modify the query and get everything to work with my version of the Journal, with the exception of this one parameter:

$latest[journalist], (journals.journalist), because that is a field I don't have in my database. I'm assuming that is the proper name of the Journal keeper, but I am a little surprised to see it in the journal table and not derived from the user table. If it were the username, it would be redundant and not necessarily subject to update if the username were changed.
