Re: visually mark off 80th column?

[Brendan Miller]

I installed ColumnMarker from here:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ColumnMarker

into ~/emacs and then put this in my emacs file to always highlight
the 80th column:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/emacs/")
(require 'column-marker)
(column-marker-1 80)

However this does nothing.

If I m-x column-marker-1 it simply highlights the current line...

anyone know what's going on? I almost never touch elisp.
