I need to get a count of entries from a given period and set that count as a variable. I think this is probably easy, but I am missing something...
When I do this all I get is the display of the count. It doesn't set the variable.

<mt:EntriesCount setvar="my_counter"> or <mt:SetVarBlock name="my_counter"><mt:EntriesCount></mt:SetVarBlock>
couldn't get SetVarBlock to work, but the other method is exactly what I need... thanks
