cacheTimeout how long should your cache file live in seconds? By default it is 21600 or 6 hours.
most sites prefer you use caching so please make sure you do!
connectionTimeout how long should I try to connect the feed provider before I give up, default is 15 seconds
showRssLinkListJS TRUE by default and will include a small block of JS in your header. If it is false the JS will not be

I received a great note from Sharon tonight. She posed some good questions so I thought I would post it on the blog, because I am sure many of you have similar questions.
NOTE FROM SHARON:
Hi Weeble,
Love your postings. You have a definite flair for words, and you are a stunning canine besides. I am a first time Lotto Block of the Month participant. It has been great fun to make my blocks, but now that I am ready to send them to Mom, I have a question. The instructions state “attach your name and address to the back of the block”. Do I use scotch tape, pins, glue stick? All choices seem to be potential dangers to the sewn block, plus pins would be a hazard to the automatic postal machines….What do most people do?
How is the drawing conducted? Are the blocks laid out so that you can put your paw on the winner(s)? Are the papers with the names put in a bowl so you can daintily point out the winner with your tongue? If it is the latter, I might cheat a little and put a little cheese flavor on my entry. We have a lovely little next door neighbor of your breed, Maggie, and she is a sucker for cheese!
Please let me know the best way to send my blocks.
Hugs and kisses,
Sharon
ANSWER FOR SHARON
Hi Sharon,
Thanks for your nice note! I so appreciate your feedback!
Weeble is crashed out in her bed, we were at the shop all day, and so I thought I would respond to your questions.
Do I use scotch tape, pins, glue stick? Most people attach a sticky address label to the back of the block. We take them off before we mail them to the winners. Some people use scotch tape and some people DO use pins. Some people use a little post-it note too.
Are the blocks laid out so that you can put your paw on the winner(s)? HAHA! This is a good one. especially the cheese flavored entry!!! We hang all the blocks as they arrive on a long string of picture wire across the front of the store, attached with little clothes pins. They are on display until the drawing. Then we take them down and mix the blocks us in a bag and draw the winners. Most
Please let me know the best way to send my blocks. Most people fold them up in a little Ziploc bag, and send them in a standard envelope.
Thanks again for your great note, you too my dear have a flair for words.
Thanks for asking. Do let us know if you have any more questions.
