I’ve got a WordPress blog, should I go to the trouble of setting up a (Google) sitemap for it?

The clue is in Google’s “locate web pages our spiders might not otherwise find…” - that’s what a sitemap does, and WordPress, if and when set up properly in its permalink structure will do the job just as well. read more »
Admin Themes? What is that all about? Well, it’s obviously part of the masterplan, since the option became available.So what is the great attraction in having a skin to stare at while doing important things like editing posts, culling comments etc. Like skins for Firefox, these things do rather slow down productivity.

Here’s a very simple hack to exclude items from an RSS feed, and since the principle involves the Loop, by extension, for post output as well - it’s not great programming style or practice but it does the job.
