AutoHotKeyGoogle limits the number of ads that you can place in your blog per page. When you place the adsense code by modifying index.php so that the ad appears below a post, the ad is going to appear beneath all the posts on your blog’s homepage. This is not what we want.

For the ad to only appear under the first post and nowhere else,

The Quick Way

Edit index.php and place the following code wherever you want the ad to appear:


  <?php if ($wp_query->current_post < 1) {
adsense_deluxe_ads('above_posts');
} ?>

Replace adsense_deluxe_ads(’above_posts’); with your adsense code. If you want the ad to appear below the post, you would paste the above before <?php endwhile; ?>

Ad appearing below first post only

FeedburnerI have (or should I say, had) 199 subscribers to my RSS feed (burned by feedburner) of SridhaReena site. I found out that it is possible to redirect these subscribers to the RSS feed of my new site (this one, howtotuts.com). Note that the redirection works only for 30 days. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Log into your feedburner.com account, go to your feeds list and click on the feed you want to redirect (let’s refer this as old feed)
  2. Click Edit Feed Details… link at the top
  3. Paste the feed URL of your new feed in the Original Feed field
  4. Click Save Feed Details button

MS ExcelDid you know that it’s possible to embed an image besides plain text as a comment in a Microsoft Excel cell? Here’s how:

  1. Right click on the cell and select Insert Comment
  2. Then right click anywhere on the bounding box of the comment and select Format Comment…
  3. Go to Colors and Lines tab
  4. From the Color dropdown under Fill section, select Fill Effects…
  5. Go to Picture tab
  6. Click Select Picture… button, browse to and select the picture that you want to insert in the comment. You might want to tick Lock picture aspect ratio before clicking on OK. This (theoretically) ensures that when you resize the comment bounding box, the picture gets sized proprotionately. However, we noticed that this option really didn’t have its intended effect and whether or not it was checked, the end size of the image when the comment box is resized is always the same
  7. Press OK once more

There you have it. Play the video below to see this in action.
