 * I should just give up, shouldn’t I? 😛
 * I did everything I thought I was supposed to do to install shortstat, but I’m
   getting:
 * The necessary tables could not be created. I know, I know, this isn’t a very 
   helpful error message…
 * as an error.
 * I created a table and filled in everything (I thought) correctly, but clearly
   not. What do you need to know so’s I can get some help? Again. 😛

 * I used Dreamweaver to edit and then uploaded everything. Then I plugged in [http://www.katehackett.com/shortstat/_install.php](http://www.katehackett.com/shortstat/_install.php)
   and …poof, errorcity.

 * if you could edit _install.php and above “echo “The necessary tables could not
   be created. I know, I know, this isn’t a very helpful error message…”;”
    add “
   print mysql_error();” it will give you a more helpfully error message.
