- Teddy: Evil hackers of the future, take note of Monkey's comment. You should be taking notes! :D Jokes aside, Jeff, thanks for another insightful tutorial! I've never knew that we can tinker with file-program association using command prompt, and neither did I have any idea how I managed to make Notepad...

- dugfresh: Does the fact that it's not working in some modern browsers (i.e., the latest Safari, the latest Chrome, the latest Opera) have anything to do with the DTD not being "strict"? Just curious. I have to build my pages through a CMS editor, as the pages are portions of the overall website, which is alre...

One issue I still have regarding custom fields is that when I implement it at the very end of the wp loop, my custom field values display below my plugins. I want i want my custom field values to display after my content and above my plugins. I am cur...

- Rob: @Thomas, If you are going to hang your hat on thinking the CSS 2.1 documentation will be changing any time soon, I suggest you get a different job. Also, you you think "vendor-specific extensions will never be part of a W3C recommendation" I suggest you also look at the source I linked to which ...

- Jeff Starr: Hi brian, it looks like you worked it out, yes? I checked the page and it looks like the items are displayed in a single horizontal row (at least in Firefox).....
- Jeff Starr: @Harsha: First, double-check and verify that your feed size is over the limits. Second, how many posts are you delivering via your feed? 512K corresponds to a huge file. If Google is choking on it, chances are other (smaller) services are as well....
- Jeff Starr: My pleasure, Tora -- glad to be of service ;)...
- Chad Garrett: Call me crazy, but I don't think you have to go to such extremes for min-width. Last I checked, IE ignores width when the width of the content is bigger than the set width. All you need to do (if you have a separate IE6 stylesheet) is this: width: 778px; And IE6 behaves as if th...

You need to reduce its size in order for FeedBurner to process it. Tips for controlling feed file size with Blogger can be found in Tech T...

- Darfuria: I personally chuckled to myself when I was younger, and was attempting to take a screen shot of a video I was playing in VLC media player. In fact, it happened to be an episode of Family Guy. Anyway, I paused the video and hit the print screen button, opened good old MS Paint and hit paste - whil...

- Jerrod: A better way of delaying a batch job (an old trick) is to ping localhost. you can change the duration of the delay by increasing or decreasing the number of pings using the /n # switch. (#) being the number of pings. For example: ping localhost /n 2...
- David Rivers: @Scott Webber: Before your foreach statement add the following line: $value = array_unique($value); sort($value ); First line will remove any duplicate entries (usually a good idea), second line will sort the array alphabetically. You can also sort in variou...

- Jeff Starr: My pleasure, Travis -- good luck! :)...
- Jeff Starr: Hey Monkey :) Thanks for dropping by -- I am glad you enjoyed the article! Thanks for the tip on the executable files! ;) @Ramba: Good point there -- this article is aimed at extensionless and other unassociated file types, like HTAccess, ftpquota, log files and so on....

- MIke Selvage: Mike Selvage: Great work! But I have a question. I get the idea the 4G Blacklist supersedes the User_Agent blacklist ... but does it also supersede the Referrer blacklist?...
- Monkey: Hey there. I had completely forgotten about this command! I remember causing hell in middle school by tinkering with this ;) Just a friendly tip of advice: do NOT re-associate .EXE files!!! You can't simply turn them back to Applications with the assoc command, and it will cause you to -not be ab...
- Travis: I've been having problems utilizing the flashobject.js script through div. Hopefully one of these other options will work for me. Thanks!...
- Scott Weber: I have a bunch of values for the same custom field name. I would like to display the custom fields in ascending alphabetical order. Right now they are showing in the order I entered them. Any ideas? Custom fields name - purchase, value - purchase-itunes name - purchase, value - purchase-amazo...
- Jeff Starr: Anytime, Justin! Your articles have helped me on many occasions -- more than happy to return the favor :)...
- Justin Tadlock: Thanks. I don't know why I just didn't think to change the name of the custom feed directory. That makes things super easy. Sometimes, it just takes a fresh set of eyes to find the simplest things....
- Jeff Starr: Sorry for the delay on this - had my wisdom teeth out and things got quite hectic.. That is tricky one for sure, but a few things come to mind that might be of some help.. 1) If at possible, use a different directory for the custom feed. Your current rewrite rule would then skip the custom-fee...
- Jeff Starr: Oh! Dude, just now saw your other comment -- wow, two comments in one day.. you really know how to make a guy feel good! Ritzchill sounds cool, but I had my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday and am still pretty much out of it.. lots of good medz, but i am quite zonked out because of 'em. Like Zonks M...
- Jeff Starr: Weech!!! "This is an excepted pleasure -- we are honored by your presence.." :) Acutally, you can't upload anything directly to this site (that's what the DLa site is for), but you can post multimedia content on any other site and link to it from here.. Chillz...

- Justin Tadlock: Jeff, I hope you don't mind me troubling you for a moment, but this is far from my area of expertise. Your first set of code above works great for me. It always has. I have one feed in particular that I need to exclude from being redirected (http://justintadlock.com/feed/wordpress-o-spher...
- Brandon: Sorry, that was query-string exploits....
- Jeff Starr: @Vladimir: Very nice - thank you, Sir :) @Brandon: That particular RewriteRule is associated with two different sets of directives: one for filter-request methods and the other for query-string exploits. Do you happen to know which set of directives is responsible for the issue you d...
- Brandon: This line: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L] stops WordPress 2.8's widget manipulation screen from working. It kills the javascript....

- Jeff Starr: I am on the fence about blocking any instance of two simultaneous periods in the query string. Then the presence of a forward-vs-backslash along with the request is also an interesting dilemma. Currently, I only block the case when \.\.\/ is present in the query string, but I am thinkin...
- Vladimir: Jeff, if Apache stores its logs in CLF format and you have Linux, here's a nice command to get all 404's: cat *.log | grep " 404 " | awk '{ print $7; }' | sort | uniq I guess it can give you some more patterns to check against ;-)...
- Vladimir: What are your thoughts on simply blocking any instances of two periods Well, maybe... This depends upon what comes in GET and what in POST. For example, when you search for something in WordPress, the string is passed in GET request. A visitor could make a typo and by acc...
- Jeff Starr: Thanks for the info, steve - I did catch that article from Matt and managed to jump in on the conversation fairly early in the game (even got a reply from Mr. Cutts himself - wo...
- Jeff Starr: @Marty: LOL!!! That is HILARIOUS. I should have done something similar and posted the information as well. Very funny - thanks for making my day :)...
- Jeff Starr: Another excellent post, Vladimir -- thanks for sharing with us. This is a great set of HTAccess security directives, some of which are already included in my ...
- Jeff Starr: Absolutely educational, H5N1 - thank you for taking the time to explain the process. Manipulating the href attributes of targeted anchor elements via the DOM is an excellent idea, and one that I should have considered before writing this article. In the hypothetical case of “hidin...
- Jeff Starr: Wow, Teddy - that is an insanely useful, informative and enlightening reply. The Hoya filter looks keen, and I will probably pick one up later this Summer when things slow down a bit (er, hopefully they will). After seeing the picture, I think I have seen those before at dealer shops, and even recal...
- Marty Prank: I really thought that I have seen all of these types of scams, until this one came across. The email i received is almost exactly like this one, but the payment terms are a little different. In a way it makes no sense to me what so ever due to the fact that this person states that they have been pai...

- Jeff Starr: IE test.....
- Jeff Starr: @Vladimir: Thanks for the inside security tips. You are a wealth of information and I am grateful for you taking the time share your ideas and strategies with everyone here at Perishable Press. To be honest, some of it is over my head, but it serves as an excellent reference nonetheless. Cheers. ...
- steve booth: hey Jeff, I found you on google. I was looking for something a little different, but I thought I'd mention that I just read a Matt Cutt's (a google engineer) blog post on "page rank sculpting" and the bottom line was don't bother with it. As you said, it's best just to let google do what it does. :...
- H5N1: Just a litte off-topic note: I offer myself for translating your PDF-book in italian :) Obviously for free....
- Jeff Starr: @Jawns Lover: Thanks for the comment, but I respectfully disagree with you. I think the whole concept is extremely trashy. I would never condone it, but to each his own, as they say. @metalHurricane: lol - their site was pretty atrocious! I’m glad to hear they are no longer in busi...
- H5N1: I try to explain in plain english :) Once you have set a traditional (and working) href attribute to an A element you can just play with javascript and DOM to make it behave as you want. This can be done by changing the "onclick" event (be careful: the event has to return false to avo...
- Jeff Starr: @Milan: I have not tested this list of directives specifically (in terms of performance), but have seen much bigger lists (and htaccess files) in play that don’t seem to have much of a negative impact on performance. But then again, I’m not going to sit here and tell you that it doesn’t have a...
- Jeff Starr: “common knowledge” - yeah, right. In any case, it's certainly interesting, and I can’t help but wonder if this particular Googlebot isn’t exclusively concerned with locating code snippets for the Google Code search engine (as one of the ekstreme comments also suggest). If...
- PhilB WordPress: Bad copy on my part - but its actually been documented for at least three years. I thought it was common knowledge. See: http://ekstreme.com/thingsofsorts/seosem/googlebot-requested-a-css-file and http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=79b23caa49b801a3&hl=en ...
- Jeff Starr: Awesome, Bart -- thank you for the updated information. :)...
- Jeff Starr: @Mo: Good question. I have read arguments supporting both 302 (temp redirect) and 301 (permanent redirect). The crux of the argument rests on the fact that Feedburner is a service that processes feeds from an original source. If/when Feedburner ever stops providing...
- Brad: I guess my thing with the .haccess file is I know little about it and wouldnt know what a rewritemap file was if I set on it. I have a LARGE database of nasty IP's that I can manipulate by frequency and age and keep trimmed down to only IPs being used. If they get nastier I just block them through...
- Jeff Starr: @Brian: Glad to hear you got it working -- thanks for posting the follow-up comment stating that the issue has been resolved. Much appreciated :)...
