I searched for advice on how to fix the problem, and found the plugin. Google serendipity. :) Might have to try one of those notification plugins, though I've never found one that worked to my satisfaction...

(And you really aught to install that plugin that lets me sign up to be notified when someone replies to a comment on this thread, so I can be notified when you answer this :)) I’m curious, why do you find Get the Image so exciting, Paul?
