Well, I did manage to get it activated, however it looks weird.
I'm using a plug in called Plug Installer (it automatically updates your plugins), and
when I activate the LiveSig plugin, it's the only one that is not highlighted. I guess that
means it's not on the Wordpress Plug in page? Not sure.
Yep - my plugin wasn't on the WordPress plugin repository so far, but it will be from now on. If you're using WP 2.5.x, you surely won't need the Plug Installer plugin, as this version of WP onwards has a built-in feature to notify you of new plugin versions as well as allow you to update automatically.
Anyway, I did manage to get it activated and put the code in, but it screwed up the
formatting on my home page - but that's the truncated post issue.
That's the one I'm actively trying to figure out - but it's got me baffled so far. Maybe I need some professional help

i.e. my other plugin developer friends. Trying my best to come up with a new fixed release ASAP.
So, I'll de-activate it and wait until it gets fixed.
Hurry, please! I am planning to upgrade most of my blogs to those ma gazine style
themes. And I've gotten lots of compliments on my signature!

P.S. will you make some kind of announcement when it's ready?
Will do so with a short post on the blog. If you want to you can keep a watch on it through the feeds

Cheers,
