Nice! Great for people who don’t want to get too deep into PHP.

I clicked on the icon, which displays the XML. That doesn’t give your viewers a chance to subscribe, although a computer would be able to do so.

I use Feedburner, which works really well. You enter the URL of your site and then Feedburner will “burn a feed” for you. After that, you can customize the feed so that it is more readable than just vanilla XML, which is more designed for computers than human beings. You place the HTML “chicklets” for popular feed readers like My Yahoo, My AOL, Newsgator, Bloglines, etc., etc. on your site and then your readers can subscribe with the feed readers they use.

I also use Feedblitz, which lets your viewers subscribe by email. Don’t forget about these people – they’re likely to be most of your viewers!

Check out my Stupid WordPress Tricks site as an example.

If your WordPress blog is hosted at wordpress.com, you cannot insert adsense code into your posts.

If your blog is hosted at your Web site, you add the adsense HTML in one of the theme pages, such as index.php, sidebar.php, or header.php. From the Admin Panel, go to Presentation-Theme Editor. Insert your Adsense code outside of the WordPress tags. You only need to do this once and it works for all posts. This is far better than having to add the Adsense code for every post, which won’t work anyway because WordPress reformats your entry to make it conform to HTML standards.

There’s a nice article at problogger.net that illustrates how to place adsense code after, say, 3 posts.

Another option is to use a WordPress plugin. A number of these exist – I use Adsense Deluxe. There are quite a few others. With a plugin, you can control where and when you place adsense code. In addition, (most of the time) the plugin does not change the code for the theme, which is a Good Thing. Check out the WordPress plugin database for others.

If I understand you correctly, you want the first row to contain the headings and the next row to contain some data, with the same column widths. If that’s so, I would take out the closing </table> and the starting <table> tags, making the next row start with <tr>. My code would be:

=================================================
<table width=”100%” border=”1″>
<tr align=”left”>
<td style=”width: 60%”>headrow1 </td>
<td align=”right” style=”width: 10%”> headrow2 </td>
<td align=”right” style=”width: 10%”> headrow3 </td>
<td align=”right” style=”width: 10%”> headrow4 </td>
<td align=”center” style=”width: 10%”> headrow5 </td>
</tr>

<tr align=”center”>
<td align=”left” style=”width: 60%”>row1</td>
<td style=”width: 10%”>row2</td>
<td style=”width: 10%”>row3</td>
<td style=”width: 10%”>row</td>
<td style=”width: 10%”>row4</td>
</tr>
</table>
==================================================

Also, to test, set border = “1” or something other than 0. That way the cell borders display. In production, set border back to 0 if you don’t want borders.
