texte = How about creating a field in the bloggers called numposted, and increment that value each time they post. It's just an extra [replace] context when a posting happens, and makes for easy code later with no more nested searches just to get a numfound. Or you could update this field whenever there's action on the blog.db with a blogger.db search -> blog.db search -> numfound -> replace routine instead, if it's too much of a hassle to add code to keep the increment technique accurate due to editing or other issues like deleted posts, back button abuse, etc. Terry > I saw this sorta answered in talklist archives but the >posts were from 2000.
