Thanks Alunsalt for the quick input. It's actually for this blog
http://wednesdaystamper.wordpress.com/ and here we would rather have people
insert their own links thru the challenge-manager as is done one similar sites.
But the other sites all went .com eventually. I just don't want to buy the CSS upgrade and and and then it wouldn't work. I guess we'll continue inserting
the participating links by hand for now.

No, it will only allow you to change the CSS. You'd need a personal installation for any plug-in.

I'm not fully sure I understand the plug-in, so this may be all wrong - but I think one way to try and do something similar would be to do it by hand using a text widget. Alternatively you could close your post with:

"If you want to take up this challenge then leave a comment with your name and URL below" and set up an RSS widget to display the http://belindaschneider.wordpress.com/year/month/date/stub/feed/

For instance if you wanted to auto-list the last comments on your most recent post you'd set up a widget to pull the feed from:
http://belindaschneider.wordpress.com/2006/08/23/a-british-knitted-wedding/feed/

That would allow you to have up to ten responses automatically listed in your widget. You could give it a title like Current Challenge.

When you have a new challenge you set it to pull the comments from the new challenge's comment feed.

Hope this is of some help.

Will custom css enable me to install the wp-challenge manager which requires php into
my challenge blog?
