 * I am using CoffeeCup software’s RSS Flash News program. I tried to cut and paste
   the HTML into a Text sidebar widget. Then I copied the Flash and XML files into
   several different directories, but I can’t get it to work. I tried …/widgets,…/
   spriptaculous and it just gives me a blank box. It is reading the box dimension
   from the HTML. But nothing happens. Is there something I have to do to get Flash
   working on my blog?

 * The 154 validation errors don’t help 😛
 * For the flash, try using object instead of embed, and put the swf/xml into the
   theme directory.
