Hi David,

Cool, those fixes seem to have worked.  I would have hunted for hours 
through the CSS before finding them.  Thanks. (So that is the function 
of showAll!).

I still want to:
-- ad thumbs to each entry
-- background highlight "new" listings (tried your trick, but could not 
get to work)
-- upper right justify the thumbs in each record, and
-- substitute a 'no thumbs' image when missing.

I'm happy to do what I can to promote this to the broader WP community. 
   (I have done so in the past with some success.)  But I do think it is 
critical to "package" the message correctly (and do it quickly!).

Perhaps we should start another thread with the sole purpose of crafting 
a one paragraph teaser.  Here's one attempt:

"No Database?  No Problem!

With just a few simple steps, even the most novice blog author can now 
embed structured data -- such as sortable and filtered table displays, 
thumbnails, maps, timelines and histograms -- in her blog posts and blog 
pages.  Using the innovative, new Exhibit lightweight structured data 
publishing framework from MIT's Simile project 
(http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/), you can now create rich data 
visualizations of web pages using only HTML (and optional CSS and 
Javascript code).  Exhibit requires no traditional database technology, 
no server-side code, and no need for a web server.  Check out this post 
(http://www.mkbergman.com/?p=326) to see how easy it is to embed this 
exciting new breakthrough in your own WordPress blog!"

Maybe it also makes better sense to write a better tutorial and include 
it on the general Exhibit site.

Thoughts?  Let me know how I can help.

Thanks, Mike
