comment “Email This” button with sideways counter
I'm not wanting to build the counter myself; that's why I'm asking this question. I'm hoping there's some web-based drop-in-place system (Kind of like AddThis) that does what I'm wanting

comment Multiple domain links on Google from one WordPress site
Re: my quote at the top -- what you tell a client and what reality is are sometimes two different things. Building an atmosphere of trust with clients is important to prevent them from continually asking stupid questions -- the route where you're able to say "It just doesn't work like that" is preferable to the one where half an hour later you're still explaining technical minutiae, of which the client understands 0.5%. Yeah, you could put a robots meta tag at the top of every page except home, but you're not doing your job if you fail to explain to your client why this is a bad idea.

That WOW Slider is pretty cool. I'm trying to implement Piecemaker2; I'll give that a shot if I can't get Piecemaker to work in terms of percentages.

Good answer. I'd also like to add, be very careful where you install WordPress themes and plugins from. See: wpmu.org/…
