2When I try to update the custom message or add an RSS feed, it’s not saving the changes. I have the file writable at 666.

3Are you using the correct syntax? I just added a feed and it worked fine. Use
FEED_URL`NAME_OF_FEED`
Be sure to use back ticks.
Beyond that I don’t know. Your best bet is to contact the developer.

5There was a problem in the code, so there is a new release.
make the following edit inside dashboardopts.php:
Find the line:
'show_technorati_feed' $dashboard_userlevel_guard )and change it to:
'show_technorati_feed'= $dashboard_userlevel_guard )There was a bug in the code with the $user_level check

6Take note that this isn’t a strict plugin… it requires a lot of hacking to work.
