First of all how would your friends know what your RSS feed url is? You don’t have it displayed in your sidebar.

Secondly however your friends checked your feed, they are dead wrong.

I just checked it via my reader (RSS Bandit) and it worked fine.
Of course I had to first dig up your blog URL that you failed to post here. Then dig thru your source code to get the feed URL

Which you can display in your sidebar using this URL

EDIT: thanks you added the blog url while I posted this.

BTW why do you connect your lack of visitors to a non-working RSS feed?

Add this code to your sidebar and it will callup the number of miniblog entries you have set for it.

<li><h2>YOUR TITLE HERE</h2><ul> <?php
$asides = miniblog_return_entries(5, 0, '', 'Title');
foreach($asides as $aside) { ?>
<li><?php _e($aside->title); ?><br /><?php _e($aside->text); ?></li>
<?php } ?></ul></li>

BTW the above link to my blog isn’t being redirected from the forum:

You can view how the above code looks under “Short Takes” in the sidebar.

That’s the code for this: >>

Registering just to comment flat out sucks.

I was reminded of this thread topic just two minutes ago. I had a question on a plugin and sifted thru a very long comment thread at the programers site.

After making sure that my question had not been answered in one of the 50 plus comments, what do I find? Registration just to ask a simple question.

So any answer is delayed because I must go thru the reg process, then await the PW email, surf back to the site, then and only then post my question.

It SUCKS – with all the available spam plugins their is absolutly no need for that.

Hey it didn’t scare me, looks nice and love the content. Even if the book cover pic of Shillary is scary as hell.

Your index.php file must have a link to “register”

A new member then clicks that link that takes them to the register section where they signup and receive a password.

And I agree Podz, and if it wasn’t pointed out very early in this thread that Green Marinée was broken in IE I would not have started down the road I did.

I also remember your correct prediction brfore the theme contest was completed.
