The 'Script include' (an idea from Meercat and Moreover) let you embed the reviews into your page, and it's pretty idiot proof. Webmasters are always looking out for content for their webpages. This system allows people to easily add regularly updated reviews of books to their page - and it's automatically encoded where possible with a 'buy the book' affiliate system as well. Later versions (easy added) will have other formats (like PHP serialize and XML) that pro's will use to keep cached locally. If you look at the encoded URL directly you'll see I've put in CSS classes, so that colours and font can be altered to the local look-and-feel. Alister
