Thansk!!

It could be out tonight, or it could be out next month. Who knows? Unfortunately, my work schedule is erratic at best.. so I can't promise. One thing I can promise though, is I will include upgrade instructions. Most of the upgrade will be automated, so it will be relatively painless.

As it sits, the installation for V1 takes about 2 minutes (if you take a break in between, lol). There's only 1 file edit, and 2 template edits. Neither of which require you to "replace" anything, so removal is a snap if needed.

INstalled -- worked easily! Thanks.

One question -- how do I put anything in this column? I know I have to edit the template, but IM guessing I have to learn html?

Yes. As with all templates, it's HTML based. However, with v2.0 I plan to help minimize the HTML knowledge needed to an extent.
