Search extras - google people help - and searchhi (search highlighting)
[links found via web-graphics.com] <- Have I mentioned recently how cool I think those people are? They find the neatest stuff!!!

Completely bizarre! Must have been whatever google link I was using to get here, but now it’s working… see it in action by going to google - do a search for “scriptygoddess” - and click the link to the main page… (just an FYI - it won’t show up on any of the archives because I don’t have the script in place there)… but maybe that would be useful as well…?

eliot, i’m using absolute paths (/home/ericalba/public_html/blah blah…) in my include in the main index and it works. i dropped the same code into the individual archives and i don’t see it working. is it possible it’s conflicting with other php? all i have is textism’s refer script in there.
