 * Having just started working with WordPress, I’ve been hesitant to install any
   plugins, since I couldn’t figure out how many of them worked and what they’d 
   look like integrated into the blog. But when I saw the Static Jack plugin it 
   just seemed too tempting and useful to pass up.
 * The only problem is…I can’t seem to make it work? o__o;; Actually, I’m not even
   sure HOW it’s supposed to work. Can I have these static pages AND create regular
   WordPress pages as well? After installing the plugin, all other pages I had previously
   created disappeared. The only thing that shows now is the homepage and anything
   else displays as: “No input file specified.” I tried uploading an html file but
   that didn’t work either.
 * I’m beginning to think I might have royally mishandled the installation… >_< 
   I have suspicions that it might be the .htaccess/mod_rewrite part of the installation
   that I goofed on.
 * The readme says to remove the WP generated code from the .htaccess file and replace
   it with:
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-
   f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php/$1 </IfModule
   >
 * So I went into the admin console > manage > files > .htaccess. Then I deleted
   what was in there and pasted the above code. Did I misunderstand the instructions?
 * And insight would be welcomed with showers of flowers and other glittery things.
   =)

 * Do you have mod_rewrite? Because if not, it won’t work like he says on the plugin
   site.

 * Yes, I do. That’s why I think it might be something else, but I’ve yet to figure
   out what. =/
