Hi, Jon:  This looks terrific, and I need to get a blog going on one
of my wikis, so I checked out your site.  Tried to post a comment to
the blog-entry corresponding to this email, and got an error page
"Access not permitted!
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at
/var/www/josquin/josquin.us/pmwiki/cookbook/commentboxplus.php:252) in
/var/www/josquin/josquin.us/pmwiki/pmwiki.php on line 938" ( and then
the same thing repeats, referring to line 939).

Also:  Have you looked into the Fox-based blogging tool?  How would
you characterize the differences?

Thanks!
