    Another great tool, Mark!

    Quick question: is there any particular reason you chose to implement it as a custom tag rather than a plugin? If it was a plugin, you could then define settings in the admin pages that would let you choose which of the sites you'd like to appear...

    (Of course, I could just go in and comment out any I don't want!)

    @Seb, Honestly the only reason I did it as a custom tag was because I had no idea how to create a plugin for mango blog. However, I have just learned how to create plugins. I have it on my list of things to do for sure. I just created my first plugin for twitter so hopefully the feedback will be positive and I will be certin that I am doing it right.
