I ran across the following suggestion to insert a keyword variable into CaRP but I couldn't understand how it was supposed to pull the variable value or how to create the variable value. Can someone explain how to do this and how to make it useful? Thanks

If you already use Carp and/or are comfortable with things like this, here�s a quick tutorial for you:
1. Create a variable in your webpage file. Let�s call it �$KEYWORD�
2. Include your Carp configuration settings if you use them
3. Call the RSS feed with the keyword variable in the URL

Example:
CarpCacheShow("http://www.feedster.com/search.php?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q= $KEYWORD&btnG=Search&sort=date");
[NOTE: Remove the space before $KEYWORD, I put that in for better formatting here]

See where the variable $KEYWORD is in that URL? Leave that as a variable in the URL, and simply change what the variable is equal to in each page. (Hopefully this makes sense)
