 * I recently installed the Weighted Words plugin and am very pleased with it! However,
   how can I exclude certain words from showing up?
 * For some reason, I am seeing this show up on the list —> “the
 * It is showing up because of some of my article that start with “the….”, but it
   will not go away even by changing the minimum number of characters to 5. How 
   can I exclude the quote symbol or any symbol for that matter?

 * Fixed the problem. Seems the article I pasted into the textarea had quotes written
   in a different format than what weighted_words.php had. My quotes are straight
   up and down, these were slanted.

 * I like the Weighted Words plugin too, and had it in-use on 3 of my WP blogs. 
   Then, suddenly it stopped working on 1 of them (no reason I could figure out),
   still had it on 2 sites. Then it stopped on another! It broke after making a 
   post each time, as if maybe I typed something in the post that WW can’t process.
   I never could figure out what. I tried to eliminate the possiblity of plugin 
   conflicts.
 * Still got WW on 1 of my blogs, working great.
