A lot of you may be using a email form to gather email’s via Feedburner. I am use that by now you know Google has decided to dump feedburner.com and move all feeds through Google Proxy or Feeburner2 which is a Google Server. Here is the new form you will need to put on your site to get new email address’s:

<form action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" 
onsubmit="window.open('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=YOUR_FEED_NAME', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true">
    <p class="form-label">Enter your email address:</p><p><input type="text" style="width:140px" name="email"/></p>
    <input type="hidden" value="YOUR_FEED_NAME" name="url"/>
    <input type="hidden" value="<?php bloginfo('name') ?>" name="title"/>
    <input type="hidden" name="loc" value="en_US"/>
    <input id="submit" type="submit" value="Subscribe" />
</form>

That’s it, just be sure to change YOUR_FEED_NAME to your feed name. For example, my feed is now http://feeds2.feedburner.com/WPCult. Where WPCult is now my ID.

Echo custom fields in any category

Here is a neat trick. Say you want to show a custom field in you post or in a certain categories post. There is a simple code you need to write in order to accomplish this:

<?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, "image", $single = true); ?>
<?php if($image != '') : if(in_category(7)) { echo ''; } else { ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" /></a>

In the example above I am calling the variable $image and telling the server that it equals the value of “image” inside get_post_meta or “custom field” of the current post.

Then we are asking if that variable $image doesn’t equal nothing or != and if it is in the category id of 7, echo what ever is in the single quotes (which is nothing in this example), otherwise show the <img> and the value inside “image” which should be the location of the image.

Update: Thanks to Austin from PressedWords for pointing out his trick, from the comment below.

I talked about Disabling search engine on search pages in a previous post using the meta tag. Today lets go over the web bots Cached copy of your site. If you are working on builder your blog, or have a temporary site up, use the following code:

<meta name="robots" content="noarchive">

This will tell any bot to follow your site, index it, but prevents a cached copy of this page from being available in the search results.

A good idea when trying to get the most out of your blog is usging the meta tag to tell the web bots to search & index your site. But for good SEO you should apply this code in your header.php file of your WordPress blog.

<?php if(is_search()) { ?>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
<?php }?>

This will keep your site from getting a hit from bots over duplicate entries. 🙂
