If, however, you find yourself configuring it repeatedly, I'd suggest making your own configuration file. The purpose of this is to gather the 15 odd lines you actually need to edit on one page. Why is this so useful? Because the whole script weighs in at over 10,200 lines of code! That's a lot of scanning through code.
