HELP! I decided to use Rayner's OtherBlog plugin. I need help on two things. First, if it can show MTEntryBody... because I used that tag, and it won't show! Second, I'm using the plugin two times (seperately) and for some reason, one won't show! Here's the link to the page I've got so far... and here's the coding I tried (I've put comment tags on the problems.):

Are you sure that blog_id=7 is correct? Its not showing any empty tags in the source, so it makes me think there just isn't any info for it to show. And does the newest entry on blog_id=3 have an entry body to it?

Heeey! NM... I figured it out. :)

(I wanted to use EntryMore not EntryExcerpt... d'oh me... I'm so dyslexic, I thought it said EntryExtended. Waaaay off.)

Cool, I'm glad you figured it out, and thanks for posting what was wrong; it might help others with the same question in the future
