It was so easy to install and configure I thought I might have missed something… For those who are looking for information on the process here is a simplified version of it: 1- Create your feed on Feedburner by using your WP’s feed url (usually something like yoursite.com/feed). Make sure you write down the feedburner url for your new feed. 2- Download and install plugin Feedburner Feedsmith Plugin. 3- Configure your plugin using the feedburner URL you created on step 1. 4- Replace your default RSS link with the feedburner URL and your done. I hope this might help others get through the process.

So I jumped in the sIFR3 bandwagon and decided to treat my titles with a little style… Quite easy to implement. No biggie to implement its css and js codes but (and there’s always that little annoying *but*) the font swf would not play nice… Every time I tried to create a new font file I got either a “Please pass in your text.” or nothing at all where the sIFR’d text should be. So I did some googling and found mentions to the possibility that my files were sIFR2 and I was trying to use them with sIFR3. I re-downloaded the package from NOVEMBERBORN (they had released a newer nightly on July 11) and tried again. My first and second try didn’t work but the third worked. I have no idea what I did different but this time the font swf worked. I tried with a second font and couldn’t get it to work at all… In any case I had what I needed for my pages so here we are with sIFR’d titles Now off to figure out how to create more font files. I will post once I find what made the difference on the 3rd try.

Templating for Wordpress is so much more satisfying compared to templating for Joomla. It still bugs me that even with the best designed template and most xhtml and css compliant validated/compliant code you still depend on components spilling out the proper code for the site to validate properly. Unfortunately many important components for Joomla still use outdated code (read tables). On Wordpress all you need to do is to create and validate your design/code and then slice it properly and voilá…you have a beautiful standards compliant template and the whole site validates. I just love it
