Absolute brilliant job well done to Bill Minozzi. Re; Warnings/Errors somewhere in-between v3.2 & v3.6 (not sure) 24hr turnaround and error(s) fixed without a blemish and no shrapnel left behind either, unlike other Plugins. It would have been even quicker as time differences involved and I was asleep when a email re PHP query came in. I had 7 paragraphs of error codes that were stacked on top of Plugin & Dashboard pages and sometimes showed on Login page. As this is a hobby for me Bill explained exactly how to activate Plugin thru a link emailed to me. Definately raise a glass of JD to Bill tonite for a 1st class service. Regards...Peter

I lost two whole days trying to solve a 'serious' problem on my blog until I discovered that it was this plugin that sent me the error message. When uninstalling, everything got better again.

So much easier to use, in my opinion, than the new block widget. Thank you!
