 * Okay, I’m very new to wordpress, and am wanting to use some hacks. However, I
   don’t know what to put in my my-hacks.php. I just need the basic code that you
   start out with.
    Thanks.

 * I don’t think you need anything in it, other than the hack you are using. I didn’t
   put anything else in mine and it works.

 * You should check out the wiki they have setup at [wiki.wordpress.org](http://wiki.wordpress.org),
   and there’s a detailed article about what to do w/ your my-hacks.php file at:

 * I can’t get this to work.

 * This option doesn’t seem to exist in the latest nightly build, which I’m using.
   There is no where to set hack_file = true that I can find.

 * yup, afaik the option has been removed in the recent hacks.

   to the new hack implementation matt has planned for WP… 🙂 drag and drop kinda
   implementation. i can’t wait. 🙂

 * I can’t. I need other features in the beta – especially the Movable Type API.
   Surely there is another way to enable these features…?

 * I did OK by putting an include command in wp-includes/functions.php (right at
   the bottom). It seems to work fine, but it gives me error messages when I’m in
   the Admin interface – but I can live with that.
