OH HAI…

certainly like your website but you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I will definitely come back again….

We got the drum kit to fit. I think we had to take out the plastic piece that holds DVD cases, but that was it.

Comment on Fix Bad Author Hyperlink in WordPress For OpenID Users by David Marcucci

It looks like WordPress has a method to use the author ID in a feed url built in. Apparently it depends on how the various templates call the function to generate the feed url as to how the feed url will be built. For example, using the author id, try this as a parameter on your url: ?feed=rss&author=11 and it should generate an RSS feed for that author. Since it seems to depend on the template there doesn’t appear to be a WordPress code fix for the problem you are seeing.

Let me know if it works.

As it turns out, this is now a blocker for some people I work with moving to our WordPress install instead of what they’re currently using. They like the category and tag feeds but losing the author feeds is a no-go.

I’ve tried sending email (and xmpp) to the plugin’s author, but haven’t heard back — so if you can manage to figure it out, that’d be fantastic.

I haven’t looked at that code yet…let me see if I can figure out a workaround for the author feeds.

This actually has a problem — author feeds don’t work. E.g. http://myblog/?author=11/feed is not valid, and simply returns the author page. Do you know how to make this work? Thanks!

Comment on Personal Brand Recognition by Bellamy

The World-Wide-Web being google-normous and the attention span of the average human being somewhat on the skimpy side, I think word-of-mouth (that old chestnut) may remain the best source of readership… unless your website happens to be all about Tiger Woods and his indiscretions(this week).
If your goal is to be found by people you know or whom you have known, homogeneity of photos and user names makes sense, but if you wish to attract new readers… well, that’s a cat of a different character…
The few websites I have discovered and revisited without having been referred to, I have found either by happy accident or by my profile selections on Stumble Upon. Of course, I am not a prolific web-surfer, but my deduction is that content is the #1 most important branding factor and sustainability of content is #2. And a little showmanship doesn’t hurt…
Take into consideration that this comment has been made by someone who blogs faux-anonymously and whose website is visited by only those individuals who have been threatened by her husband…

Whew, thanks for that. I was running out of things to be paranoid about!
