Hey Wenotice,
your two sites you have up there are beautiful.

I justjoined the jobamatic site this weekend. I have a bunch of ideas but the technical aspect is kicking my butt. I can not get wordpress towork with jobamatic.

I followed these directions but it did not work and i also emailed support but they werent able to help.

Thanks!
