Yep, that works.

Already done that and still no log file. I'll talk to my friend who owns
the server and see what he thinks.

I was thinking that the plugin could keep a count somewhere, but it's
not essential.

One of my friends was trying to persuade me to move to Wordpress, but I
still like the simplicity of Pyblosxom, even if I get frustrated with
the limitations at times. I always wanted something that I could play
around with.

I was thinking that the app could do with a wiki. Didn't it use to have
one at

http://wiki.subtlehints.net/

It doesn't seem to be working these days.


Thanks again
