Cool. I'm glad you know the innards of Wordpress. Regarding having Exhibit reading XML/RSS feeds, I'll surely keep that in mind. I definitely very much like to see Exhibit in blogs, so anything that helps that goal is game. Of course, I'd like to see more than just exhibits of blog posts... It'd be nice to have blog posts themselves embedding Exhibit, showing small data sets.
