Hi Christopher,
For your exhibit on cjw.me.uk to be able to access the data from
www.editgrid.com, you have to get the data in JSONP format, not just
JSON. JSONP is basically JSON with a callback. EditGrid already supports
JSONP. Your data can be seen in JSONP like this
http://www.editgrid.com/user/cweddell/My_Kiva_Loans.json?callback=foo
But accessing it this way does not yield Exhibit JSON format. I'm not
sure what you have done to get Exhibit JSON for this URL
http://www.editgrid.com/user/cweddell/My_Kiva_Loans.js
but see if you can do similar things to get the Exhibit JSON for this URL
http://www.editgrid.com/user/cweddell/My_Kiva_Loans.json?callback=foo
Then you can just plug in that URL, and change "application/json" to
"application/jsonp".
If you can't get that to work, then change your link to this
<link href="http://www.editgrid.com/user/cweddell/My_Kiva_Loans.json";
type="application/jsonp"
rel="exhibit/data"
ex:converter="editGridConverter" />
and add your own EditGrid converter
<script>
var editGridConverter = function(json, url) {
...
};
</script>
There is the Google Spreadsheet converter here to serve as an example:

Cheers,
