Maybe you want to add a custom JavaScript for Google AdSense or another type of ad or maybe a movie. This script is for you.

No screen shot because it’s very straight forward, it will let you insert JavaScript in posts.

Update from Lloyd Budd: This plugin is no longer neccessary as the most recent version of the WP Post Editor does not filter out JavaScript. It did over a year ago which is the reason I still used it, I hadn’t tested it without the plugin. So alas, you do not need this plugin if you are running the most recent version of WordPress. (Lloyd Budd via Twitter)

The function is fairly basic, but it’s very effective. In short, it will e-mail you when a contributor user sends in a post for review. Then, you can go review it. If you don’t accept it, it will e-mail the user back and let them know that their post has been sent back to drafts.

Here is the screen shot of the options for the plugin.

By default, WordPress adds two lines of code in the wp_head() function call.

<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="http://example.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd" />
<link rel="wlwmanifest" type="application/wlwmanifest+xml" href="http://example.com/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml" />


These two lines are essentially useless to most people. The wlwmanifest.xml is the resource file needed to enable tagging support for Windows Live Writer (Windows-only).

And, well, the RSD link you don’t really need either; I’ve never used it.

What is the solution to remove these two lines?

There are two options.

First Solution

Create a plugin with the following code

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: WLW Disabler
*/
remove_action('wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link');
remove_action('wp_head', 'rsd_link');
?>

OR…

Second Solution

Add these few lines of code to your functions.php theme file

<?php
remove_action('wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link');
remove_action('wp_head', 'rsd_link');
?>

After using either of these solutions, it will eliminate the few lines of code from automatically being hooked into the wp_head() call.

Points of Highlight

• Built-in 125×125 advertising space on the right (clearly visible to visitors)
• Great video integration for drawing in new users via video presentations
• A very nice looking and easy navigating Sitemap (see header)
• Great usage of thumbnails for posts under the category view
• Overall great usability

Here is a sceenshot of what it looks like,

I can’t help but to recommend this theme purely because it’s a great theme. If you have the need for this theme, I strongly suggest you purchase it. Multiple colors and clean code, there’s not much else you can ask for in a theme.

This plugin will give you options for what core settings you want to use. Here is a screenshot of what options you will have available.

It can’t get much easier than this for you.

It’s a very simple plugin to use.

So why should you use it? I personally use it because I redirect my main feed to FeedBurner so I can analyze all of my subscribers.

But, you may want to more accurately monitor your subscribers. If you’re using Google Sitemaps or Live.com Webmaster Tools, you will need to submit your sitemap.

I will follow-up with a more in-depth article as to why this is important to add your /feed/ to Google Sitemaps of Live.com Webmaster Tools.

Easy to install, easy to use, and very easy on the eyes.

No apparent advertising positions open, but I’m sure you could integrate some ads on the right if you really wanted to.

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like.

I’m a huge fan of optimizing my <title>, but it takes some work to do it.

In any thing I create or modify, I always have a separate title.php file because I normally have 10-15 lines in the file for my <title>.

Edit: Use this to include the file: <?php include(‘title.php’); ?> in your <head> section of the header.php file.

Here is what I use,

<title><?php
if(isset($_GET['author_name'])) :
$curauth = get_userdatabylogin($author_name);
else :
$curauth = get_userdata(intval($author));
endif;
if(is_home()) { echo 'My News Site.'; }
elseif(is_single()) { the_title() . ' - My News Site.'; }
elseif(is_date()) { echo 'Site Archives - ' . get_the_time('M Y'); }
elseif(is_category()) { echo single_cat_title() . ' News - My Site'; }
elseif(is_page()) { the_title(); }
elseif(is_search()) { echo 'My News Site Search: ' . $s; }
elseif(is_tag()) { echo single_tag_title('My Site Tag: ',true); }
elseif(is_author()) { echo 'Site Author - ' . $curauth->display_name; }
else { echo "Sorry, page not found."; }
?></title>

Then, to simple include this file in your theme, use <?php include(‘title.php’); ?> where you would normally have the <title> and it will show up as planned.

The reason I do this for my <title>’s is because the default method used in WordPress has never been satisfactory for me. Additionally, and primarily, I have seen far better SEO results because of this.

Here are the examples pulled from the plugin homepage.

Examples

Gets photos from all the users with these tags
[miniflickr tags="travel, sunset, landscape"]

10 last images from my portfolio or shows the link if javascript is not enabled
[miniflickr user_id="56755410@N00" tags="portfolio" per_page="10" ] Portfolio[/miniflickr]

Gets photos from all the users with these tags
[miniflickr tags="poster" group_id="92076845@N00" per_page="5" ]

Here are some screenshots to see it in action.

Here is an example of what the HTML will produce for the short tags.

Cheers to the plugin author, Felipe Skroski, for creating this plugin.

I have been searching for a long time for something like this.
