[Plugin: WordPress Popular Posts] [Plugin: WordPress Popular Posts] pattern_form in non-widget use

First I want to state this plug-in is freaking awesome!

I injected this code into header.php of my theme, everything works fine.

<?php get_mostpopular(“range=monthly&limit=4&stats_comments=0&order_by=comments&wpp_start=<table><tr>&wpp_end=</tr></table>&post_start=<td>&post_end=</td>&thumbnail_width=120&thumbnail_height=120&thumbnail_selection=wppgenerated&do_pattern=1”); ?>

but when I want to define the pattern_form, I get error because “{” and “}” are not allowed.

The following doesn’t work
&pattern_form={image}
{title}:

How will I be able to get this working? BTW my URL is Nowinbrooklyn.com
