These notes are to assist you in modifying the files so that they work with your own article directory.  

If you own an Article Dashboard directory, DO NOT EDIT ANY OF THE FILES.  They work fine as they are!

If you own another "off-the-shelf" type of directory or blog, please contact us first, as we may have a plugin for you, or else might develop one for you free of charge.
