 * I’ve used this plugin on many blogs, but recently I had to deactivate it on one
   site when I was doing a redesign — and now the plugin will not activate. It times
   out and then gives a Internal Error 500.
 * I’ve spent hours trying to see if it was an issue related to .htaccess and other
   possibilities. But it seems that it is actually an issue with the plugin and 
   the Xavisys forum indicate that — because this is a free plugin — the author 
   has no plans to update the plugin at this time.
 * It’s too bad. This is the best related plugin I’ve every used. If you can get
   it to activate, don’t deactivate it. You may never get it started again… 🙁

   is related. Rmsylte, would you mind commenting there what happened after you 
   removed the plugin completely through WP admin panel and then reinstalled it?
   What other plugins do you have (it could be a conflict issue)?
