You probably noticed that some time ago i cried about “how silly WordPress works with feeds”:/wordpress/wp-feeds-miserable-performance/, now I come with a solution. First thing I tried before I could be lost in infinite list of wp-plug-ins was that I **signed up into “FeedBurner”:http://feedburner.com/**. If you didn’t hear about Feedburner yet (what I really doubt about), it’s a web service which offers you much things, everything is of course related to *feeding* and it’s nicely “written down here”:http://www.FeedBurner.com/fb/a/about by FeedBurner people themselves.

Highlight active categories (while browsing a post)
Published: On Sunday, June 10, 2007
Note: You'd maybe like to try Show Active Category plugin first.A few days ago I worked on a task how to highlight categories linked with the just browsed article. The image is simple: page with an article (post) is opened and in sidebar is even a list of categories. The active post belongs under one or more categories (actually they are tags). So how to mark (to display differently) these „touched“ categories?
Well it's not… it wasn't too easy, I tried to understand the related part of WordPress core almost two hours. What a feeling I enjoyed some time after that, when the client I made this project for, said that „This is not what he wanted.“. So it's better to ask twice for sure ;). Now the procedure.

Showing subcategories “dynamically”
Published: On Thursday, June 7, 2007
This piece of code is actually a response on a query on the Czech WordPress support forum, where a guy asked how to display a list of categories that are children of the just active (browsed) one. I didn't have a clue, although I thought this could be a very common request: on many pages you can see the category navigation that after the activation of one particular item gets more concrete, to put it differently, the subcategories are shown as an offer while browsing a category.
