Feature Request - maybe

[Erin Clerico]

Hello Chris.

The giggle is a macro only available on Weblogger servers at this time:

http://macros.weblogger.com/giggle

You have a good idea. You can send me properly URL-encoded query for what
you need and I will try to cook it up for you over the holidays. (respond
off list please)

Happy Holidays

Erin
