If you need a custom RSS feed, like for example, a feed indexing only somes categories + tags, or if you redirected all WordPress RSS feeds to Feedburner but still want to be able to get a category feed, the solution is to use a page template.
Create a new file and simply paste the following code in this file. After pasting save it with the name “my-custom-feed.php” and save it in your theme directory.

WordPress 2.8.4 Security Patch is out now!
Posted by Muhammad Furqan Abid in Release on August 12, 2009
Another heads up for all WordPress users. The WordPress dev team just released another security update WordPress 2.8.4 to fix a vulnerability discovered yesterday.
Yesterday a vulnerability was discovered: a specially crafted URL could be requested that would allow an attacker to bypass a security check to verify a user requested a password reset. As a result, the first account without a key in the database (usually the admin account) would have its password reset and a new password would be emailed to the account owner. This doesn’t allow remote access, but it is very annoying.
I strongly advice to upgrade your WordPress ASAP. Doing the upgrade will only take a few minutes of your time and in case you’re still new to WordPress and are not familiar with the process, the WordPress Codex has a dedicated page that contains a detailed process on how to upgrade WordPress.
Wordpress 2.8.3 security updates is out!
Posted by Muhammad Furqan Abid in Release, Security on August 04, 2009
Wordpress release its new version 2.8.3 with some major security updates.
According to Ryan Boren,
Unfortunately, I missed some places when fixing the privilege escalation issues for 2.8.1. Luckily, the entire WordPress community has our backs. Several folks in the community dug deeper and discovered areas that were overlooked. With their help, the remaining issues are fixed in 2.8.3. Since this is a security release, upgrading is highly recommended.
Download 2.8.3, or upgrade automatically from your admin.

How to Integrate Breadcrumb Navigation without a plug-in
Posted by Glance World Admin in How To, Tips, Tutorials on July 17, 2009
There are plenty of WordPress extensions that generate breadcrumb navigation. But you can actually create custom breadcrumb navigation with only a handful of lines of code in the template, opening up greater control and, potentially, less overhead. This approach to breadcrumbs builds on the get_post_ancestors function.
To start with, here is a basic implementation of breadcrumbs that only deals with pages and includes a breadcrumb for “home” (the front page of theblog) at the beginning of the list. Depending on the design of a particular template, some checks may need to placed around this code. In this example, it will be assumed that this code will be placed in the header.php template file, that the crumbs should appear only on pages, and that it should not show up on the front page. The current page and front page link will also be assigned special CSS classes for styling purposes.
Wordpress release its new version v2.8.1
Posted by Muhammad Furqan Abid in Release on July 10, 2009
WordPress 2.8.1 fixes many bugs and tightens security for plugin administration pages. Core Security Technologies notified us that admin pages added by certain plugins could be viewed by unprivileged users, resulting in information being leaked. Not all plugins are vulnerable to this problem, but we advise upgrading to 2.8.1 to be safe.
