Today Maarten Reijnders (Dutch Link), freelance writer for Webwereld, wrote an article about Firefox, called “5 things that are wrong with Firefox” (DL). Curious as I was I clicked on the link to see what he sees as weak points. Reading it hurted me and I had to do something with it.

HA! This time I won from technique. FeedBurner FeedSmith plugin redirect all my feeds to a predefined URL, Standard Sitemap Plugin generates a xml like a feed. I see a problem there, don’t you? You want all feeds to be redirected but the sitemap. Here is the solution.
Open FeedBurner_FeedSmith_Plugin.php in your favorite editor. Go to line 111 and change it to:
if (is_feed() && $feed != 'comments-rss2' && $feed != 'sitemap' && !is_single() && $wp->query_vars['category_name'] == '' && ($withcomments != 1) && trim($feedburner_settings['feedburner_url']) != '') {
The part I added is && $feed != ‘sitemap’.
Enjoy your new sitemap.xml.

Figures as I always manage to break things.
One of the features of WordPress is to save every version of the posts you make. If you make a tyoptypo and edit the post it doesn’t overwrite the old entry, it makes a fresh new entry in the database and saves the old one as well. A smart feature when you have a dozen people editing on the site, but overpowered when you’re making a personal blog and are the only person editing posts. So I searched for a way to disable that feature. After all I don’t want my database to be a complete mess.

I’m totally new to the software this website is running on. It’s called WordPress and so far I’m very impressed by all the posibilities this piece of software has to offer. Widgets to layout the page and add little functions, plugins to add complete new functionality and themes for a total different look. And I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more I don’t even know about yet.
