TinyMCE Editor Implementation Plus

Just finished after many hours of creating a spacer button (icon) for theme : "advanced", which shows all buttons (icons).

With some JQuery magic you can accomplish this. Here's the pseudo code:

1. Remove all the necessary classes and add a new class for the tags that contain the image for you spacer (transparent) gif with specific width and height of your choosing. And remember to deactivate the spacer button.
2. I used this to right align my company logo for contact information
3. theme_advanced_buttons5 : removeformat, iespell, spacer, mycompanylogo

I can now say that I can support or implement the awesome TinyMCE Editor! For services contact me.

How to Disable / Stop RSS Feeds in WordPress - SEO Friendly Way

How to Disable / Stop RSS Feeds in WordPress 

Anyone who uses Wordpress may want to stop RSS feeds to stop spammers and scammers.  The common approach is the following function added to functions.php : 

function fb_disable_feed() {wp_die( __(‘No feed available,please visit our homepage!’) ); }

add_action(‘do_feed’, ‘fb_disable_feed’, 1);

add_action(‘do_feed_rdf’, ‘fb_disable_feed’, 1);

add_action(‘do_feed_rss’, ‘fb_disable_feed’, 1);

add_action(‘do_feed_rss2′, ‘fb_disable_feed’, 1);

                                              add_action(‘do_feed_atom’, ‘fb_disable_feed’, 1);

What's wrong this function ?

Well it returns a HTTP Status code of 500

500 (Internal server error)

The server encountered an error and can't fulfill the request.

Not terribly SEO friendly. Too many 500 errors call into question the reliability of that site. Google doesn’t want to send users to a site that ultimately times out and doesn’t load.
