[FM Discuss] FLOSS Manuals Book Store

[Mike Lee]

Hi Adam,

A quick cut 'n paste of the code in to the html editor of of Wordpress
didn't work for me, but I didn't have time to take a closer look at the
code.

I did see the Lulu graphic for the border of the widget. It's pretty horsey
in my opinion.

How about some simple cut 'n paste banners?

Mike
