Where can I get the EVB?
Its actually quite simple, all the code you need to use on any HTML page is
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://firstr.org/api/check_url.js"></script>

Any other ways I can get involved?

Here are the top ways you can help:- Register & submit new stories
- Tell your team/friends/family about it
- Sport the userbar in your signature
