[wp-hackers] Custom Re-write Rules

[William Satterwhite]

Ok, I narrowed it down and fixed it. Otto and Drew thank you for the help
and also Drew thanks for directing me to use add_rewrite_tag versus
appending the custom variable to the query_var array. I'm sure both will
give you the desired results, but I'm in favor of add_rewrite_tag for best
practices.

The issue was a type in the regular expression, which I realized after
installing and using Monkeyman Rewrite Analyzer by Jan Fabry. Kudos to Jan
for a great plugin!

Best,
Hunter
