 * I installed the plugin, and went to configure it. Every time I hit “apply” or“
   save”, I get this error:
 * “Unable to open file (/home/talkings/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/../cg-
   flashytitles.dat).”

 * I’ve never used that plugin, but from that error message it would seem that the
   web server needs a directory to be writable. Does it have its own directory under/
   plugins like /plugins/flashtitles or similar?
 * Dunno that this is a great idea, but you could try and make that directory world
   writable and see if that fixes it up. If it does, pause and reflect upon if that
   causes a security concern.

 * The permission change fixed my error, and though it seems everything is correct,
   my “flashy titles” aren’t showing up at all.
