 * I have installed this plugin and it looks like it could be good but no where 
   can I find information about how to set it up. I have create the view and add
   new pages using the shortcodes – that’s easy enough.
 * However on the admin options page I appear to need to enter code to format the
   links and submit form page – I am not sure how I can be expected to know what
   to enter in here, without understanding what table structure and naming convention
   has been used.
 * It might be a great plugin but the documentation is non existent!
 * Has anyonelse encountered this problem and found the solution?

 * Yeah, this plugin is actually somewhat broken in it’s default state. I’ve used
   it on another project with some pretty extensive modifications. I’ve been considering
   offering to take over development (or at least fix the bugs) on this plugin, 
   but I’m not sure the best way to do that. What I might end up doing instead is
   re-releasing it as a new plugin with all of the bugs fixed (and some new features
   added).
 * But, to answer your question, the “default” settings don’t get installed. They’re
   buried in one of the files, and I’ll post them below.
 * Format of your links:
 *     ```
       <div class="post"><h2>%TITLE%</h2><div class="postinfo"><br class="clear" /></div><div class="entry">%DESCRIPTION%</div>
             <div class="entry" %HIDEADDRESS%>%ADDRESS1%
             %ADDRESS2%
             %CITY%, %STATE%  %ZIPCODE%  %COUNTRY%
             Ph:  %PHONE%
             F:  %FAX%</div><div class="entry"><p class="postinfo">Clicks: %HITS%</p></div><div class="entry"><p class="postinfo">Category:  %CATEGORY%</p></div></div>
       ```
   
 * Format of your Submit form:
 *     ```
       Please fill out completely.  All fields are required.  Once submitted, your link will be evaluated.  It may take up to 48 hours for your link to be included.
             <table><tr><td>Title:  </td><td>%TITLE%</td></tr>
             <tr><td colspan="2">example: Nifty blogging Plugin</td></tr><tr><td>Web Address: </td><td>%URL%</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2">example:  http://www.themoneymakingwebsite.com</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2">Description:</td></tr><tr><td>Category:  </td><td>%CATEGORY%</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2">%DESCRIPTION%</td></tr><tr><td>Address:  </td><td>%ADDRESS1%</td></tr><tr><td>Address2:  </td><td>%ADDRESS2%</td></tr><tr><td>City: </td><td>%CITY%</td></tr><tr><td>State:  </td><td>%STATE%</td></tr><tr><td>Zipcode:  </td><td>%ZIPCODE%</td></tr><tr><td>Country:  </td><td>%COUNTRY%</td></tr><tr><td>Phone:  </td><td>%PHONE%</td></tr><tr><td>Fax:  </td><td>%FAX%</td></tr><tr><td>Email:  </td><td>%EMAIL%</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2">%RECAPTCHA%</td></tr>
             </table>
       ```
   
 * Hope that helps!
