Start with the 'Code to scrape several pages' code insertion.  Generate 
an array of URLs in the gatherPagesToScrape function, I suppose through 
a for-loop.  Scraping a page is done in the scrapePage function.

The rest of that code insertion will run.  The only minor quibble is 
which URL pattern match you'd use for Piggy Bank to recognize and run 
your scraper.  I suppose I'd match the first page and write the for-loop 
that generates URL to ignore the first.

If you have more questions, please be specific about what precisely 
you'd like cleared up.  You may want to post your code in a public place 
- not only so we can look at and help debug it, but so when you've 
finished others can benefit from your work.
