 * Here’s what I’m trying to do:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $kw = $_GET['kw'];
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Somewhere on my template:
 *     ```
       <? echo $kw; ?>
       ```
   
 * So, by typing: example.com/postblah/?kw=test
 * It would print “test” where I put the echo but it’s not printing it, could it
   be the permalinks?
