Note that 1 is the guest usergroup so you'll be including the script for guests only.

It also seems to slot in fine with all the mod_rewrite etc ok too, so it saves having to do html generation etc so rather then updating on a page edit/delete.. (not sure how to do that one yet) it just updates when the next cycle comes around
