I am using WordPress 2.0-RC2 (my host is Yahoo, and apparently I have to wait until they upgrade).
I just installed the AutoLinks plugin, but when I type a keyword and add it to the list, I get "null" in both the keyword and the link.
Any ideas what I should do? I'm going to try to delete the plug in and then do it again to see.

I didn't really do anything different, but it seems to be accepting my words now, but I don't get any links in my post ... http://fcaoneyearbible.com/blog/2005/01/

I deleted the plugin, then reinstalled (this time using version 0.94.2) and reactived. I am still getting the same results. It appears I am able to add key words, but they don't actually produce a link in the post (above).
I have an additional question, which I will post immediately following.

The purpose of my blog is to post a daily discussion based on a one year bible reading plan. We use the plan at http://www.oneyearbibleonline.com. At this site you select the Bible version, month and date, and then produces a link to http://www.biblegateway.com with the reading for that day. (hard to explain this, but you can see the result at my homepage - http://www.fcaoneyearbible.com
I have 31 different authors (for the corresponding days of the month) and I am depending on each author to remember to write "Today's Reading", then go through the trouble of going to the others sites, copying the reading for that day, and hyperlinking back on the post.
I am wondering if I would be able to create several custom fields in a post (month, day, and version) and then have autolinks produce the link when the author types in "Today's Reading." I am willing to dedicate autolinks solely to this working this one criteria (it's that critical!)
Let me know what you think! It's a great plug in, and if I could use it for this, it would so valuable!

Now, this is odd ... I just noticed some of the words I expected to produce autolinks in that site above (http://fcaoneyearbible.com/blog/2005/01/) still don't produce on the site, but in the PREVIEW section of Write Posts, several of the words do have links! 1 word doesn't have a link, and one word is deleted altogether. Just wanted to give more information.
Wouldn't the Scripturizer plugin be helpful in this case?

I do have the scripturizer plugin, Moshu, but there are some glitches in it ... if you look at this post, you will see ... http://fcaoneyearbible.com/blog/2006/01/11/january-11th/
The link "Genesis 24:52-26:16" will not work correctly because the scripture reference goes to multiple chapters.
They are working on that, but also, I would still be dependent on every author going to the http://www.oneyearbibleonline.com site, finding the scripture for that day (It's for references per day) and then typing them back in perfectly on their post.
I've now got custom fields for assigned month, assigned day, and assigned version on every post, which I can access via meta data. My hope is to generate this all automatically, so the only thing the author has to come up with correctly is the day and month they are assigned to post (we write our posts ahead of time, and them publish to future, so I thought it best to use a custom field.)

Also, it appears autolinks is doing weird things to my pages/posts. While it is not producing the links in the posts, it completed messed up the formatting on the "about" page. I have now taken off all the key words except auto links (just for testing purposes) and the about page is back to normal.

Eeks ... I had to disable autolinks all together ... it was doing crazy things to my pages!

I would advise you discuss this with the plugin author.

Yes, I'll do that! Thanks.
