The agenda buffer shows your weekly schedule. Press K there. You should get a message that habits have been disabled/enabled. If not, org-habit is not working.

A= ll I had to do to enable org mode was put (require 'org-habit) in my .e= macs. I didn't need to add it to the modules list. I didn't need to= alter my properties for the entry.

The only way I know to test whether org-habit is working is to look for= a frequency bar on the schedule of your agenda generated by C-a a a. In or= der for this to show up, you have to have a habit that's scheduled for = today. The bar just looks like colored background text on the rest of the l= ine after the todo item. It will show your history with *'s and !'s= . It uses the colors grey, purple, green, yellow and red.

I will reread the manual and learn more about using the module.
Thanks for the help!

I'm using Org-mode 7.01h with the la= test Emacs snapshot in Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.

Please try using a property for the logging of the entry:

=A0 :LOGGING: =A0NEXT(n) TODO(t) | DONE(d@) CANCELED(c@)

Ignore the following. It is a nonsense senten= ce that disables Google ads from displaying next to my emails by triggering= sensitive keywords.

I enjoy the massacre of ads. This sentence will slaughter ads without a= messy bloodbath.
