 * How do I shut down WP for a bit, sort of an under construction phase, without
   killing it entirely? Delete something? Or enable one of the 400 series errors?
   Or what? Thanks! :^) gene

 * The plugin should have unzipped into a folder containing two files. You need 
   to upload the whole folder to your wp-content/plugins folder on the server.
 * Then, you can go to your plugins management page where you need to activate the
   plugin.
 * You should then have a new page under options, where you can control the plugin.
 * If any of that doesn’t work, please post back with details of what you tried,
   and where it seemed to go wrong.
