Hi Jian,

Thanks for the reply and the solution! I gave it a shot, and while it
definitely seems like it should work, it doesn't seem to be. The
"Status Page" where the keyworded updates are being drawn to is on a
different node from the original page where the statuses live. The
info place holder (inside an anchor tag) is leading to the 'Status
Page's' main-link, rather than the main-link for the statuses.
