I just submited one of my sites to the Yahoo Directory. That’s my donation for this plug in. Great review. Thanks for posting the info.

I like this plugin but it leaves some nasty code when i access my archive files.Told yahoo about the problem but in the meantime will have to deactivate the plugin.

Ariel,

This comment came back from my server admin

[snip] I think what is happening is the render isn’t firing for the search. It effects all browsers. One thing to try might be to embed the plugin further down the post. Did you notice it happens on any of the category and archive functions… I might take it out until a fix is posted as it doesn’t look good. I’ve tried to find some other info on it but I can’t find a wordpress site using it. Just to see if it fails there. There isn’t even an option to configure the rending of html tags in a post.[snip]

HTH

I’m in the boat with Case on this one.

Love the plug-in but it’s that nasty line of raw (shortcut) html code, exposed during a search of the my blog that is just too much to share with my clients.

Plug-in deactivated until further notice.

Damn, I love this plug though and puuuurfect for hassle free maps.

P.S. Can you extend the t-shirt offer to a global address rather than US only?

It isn’t just US that blogs!

Meow.

Loren,
Thanks for pointing this one out.

Basically it works like charm, but it leaves a nasty line filled with plugin coding on top of the excerpts of my index file for the posts I used this plugin for.

I couldn’t get it deleted, so I de-activated right now. Looking for a solution.

Thanks anyway.

I never had a blog but now I’ll start one. Why only for the WordPress? I wish it works even on websites and with much lot of customization
