Les,

Hello! Re MyBlogLog, I don't recall that I needed any validation code. I believe I only created a block containing the Recent Readers widget code supplied at the MyBlogLog site. I assume that'd be the same procedure for the Top Links code as well.

It looks like the Stats Tracking Script, however, would work differently; is that what you refer to? If so, I'd think it's the kind of thing ideally suited for a module, which would automatically place that script code into every page, between the Body tags. But in the absence of such a module, I think I have a cheat, which I haven't used on this site, but have used for similar purposes on other sites:

Hide the code in the page's Footer ( admin/settings/site-information ). Disable any rich text editor for that field, as you're inputting code, and paste in the script code (by itself or after any existing footer HTML code).

I think that's a nice way to sneak such code into every page, without a dedicated field for the code. Does that work for you? (And does any reader know of a better way?)

Drupal mini tip

Tired of logging in again and again to a Drupal site that keeps kicking you out? You can modify session length, i.e. the length of time that a logged-in session stays logged in, via the ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime'... line in the site's settings.php file. See details in Forum Finds: Modify length of user login sessions.
