In reply to: Include "By author Name" in blog postsNot sure what code you would need. I am surprised that there is not an option in settings to include a byline. Does wordpress normally do this and maybe it is my theme that does not have this option? I am using Flexibility 3 theme.

In reply to: FeedburnerDo you need to have a plugin or just submit your rss feed url to feedburner. Is there an advantage to using the plugin?
Can you just clarify that if I am doing my SEO stuff (focus keyword, SEO title, Meta Description) on my individual pages and posts at the bottom then I don’t need to do the “Titles” section of your plugin? Is that correct or is this something that I should be doing?
I don’t want to take too much of your time but can you point me in the right direction as to how to clean up my pre-SEO plugin search results that still come up in Google? I did the rel=author thing and it is working good but I still get funky search results from before I installed the plugin. Are these older ones something that will go away in time as Google crawls my site?
Thanks, Joe
Thanks for clearing some of that up
Hi Joost, I have learned a lot and think maybe I can articulate this a little better. One of the things I learned (my mistake) was I was putting more then one word in “Focus Keyword”. I see that you really have to dial in on one keyword or phrase.
In categories I was puzzled because on your page http://yoast.com/articles/wordpress-seo/ I saw in your example for “Titles” I kept seeing this “#8226” come up. I still don’t know what it means. However I am doing my SEO stuff on each post/page.
This is OK and overrides the titles issue right?Another thing that does not seem right is when doing the SEO at the bottom of my pages where it analyzes your keyword, I will give you an example my website is about how to reduce glucose and this page in particular is about fat and my keyword is “fats”. When is analyzes it. it shows the focus keyword was found in:
Article Heading: No
Page title: Yes (1)
Page URL: No
Content: Yes (20)
Meta description: Yes (2)You can see that “fats” is not showing in “Article Heading” or “URL”. However it is in the URL and also my question is what exactly does “Article Heading” refer to because “fats” is the name of my page, it is in the first h1 heading in my content twice and appears also in 3 other headings as h3. I just don’t know why it does not pick it up.
Hope this helps, you can look at this page if you want at http://lowermyglucose.com/fat/
I am a rookie at this as it’s my first website. Fats is probably not a good keyword???
Thanks for getting back with me I appreciate it-Joe
No I never did resolve it. I’m just living with it, it is giving me useful information and appears to have brought up my rankings. It seems to have a few glitches interpreting whats on the page but it is useful.

In reply to: Should I be using an anti spam plugin?Yeah I went ahead and got it. I kicked em down a little cash $6 annually. I feel too cheap taking it for free when they are asking you to do it voluntarily. It has already removed spam from my site. Thanks.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: What constitutes spam?Thanks, that makes sense. I installed Akismet today. I understand this is a pretty good plugin for spam. I don’t know how it determines which ones are spam and which are not. Have you had experience with this plugin?
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: What constitutes spam?Thank you so much, this is very helpful. If someone leaves a nice comment and it seems relevant and coherent but also has a back-link to their own site isn’t that a good thing for my search ranking? (As long as their site is not something objectionable?)
I do want comments and interaction to rank higher right?

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Switching themesOK, well thank you very much for all your help I have learned a lot. Maybe I will start over again and save copies of my existing changes and just update those in a child. There are not very many.
Thanks again!
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Switching themesSo, if you do not want to start creating a proper child theme
Isn’t it already too late to make a proper child theme since I have already customized it?
