[Imc-drupal-dev] newswire problems

[bruno at indymedia.be]

hi John,

- for the blog node type, you should try to use "blog" (I think I came 
across that at some point)
- just create a new block (Administer > Blocks > Add block) and paste 
the code in the new block (make sure to check 'PHP code')

it's "dankjewel" :) you're welcome..

best,
-- bruno
