Optional Excerpt and Custom Fields. (wp)

[JuggoPop]

I figure I could find out more information at wordpress' site... but I thought I would ask the v7n community if you use these? ...and if so for what?

Good question, I've never used them either. Hopefully somebody knows.

Lynn Terry at her ClickNewz! blog has a great take on the "optional excerpt" option in WP.

Lynn really knows her stuff! Thanks for the link Rick, it definitely helps!

Very cool. Thanks that explains it perfect... hmmm... now I need to write some extra jazz into my site.

Anyone got a good use for the custom fields?

Thanks, Rick!

I really love the optional excerpt! I use Feed Broadcaster to mail out excerpts of each post to people who have subscribed to my blog by email - and so those people get that snippet too. It just gives you A LOT more control in how things look, your CTR per post, etc.

And with the OptiNiche package that I use, this Optional Excerpt I create is also used in my Description Meta Tag
