From the article:</p> <p><blockquote>I recently made a simple tool to help folks buy the right size of of Levi’s 501xx Shrink to Fit Jeans. It includes a form that takes two numbers as inputs then performs some logic and returns the results on the same page. It was surprisingly easy to do but took me a surprisingly long time to figure out so I hope this explanation of how I did it will be helpful for others!</blockquote></p> <p>For more see the <a href="http://blog.nedsferatu.com/using-forms-in-wordpress-posts-and-pages">full article</a>! </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/re-adding-google-adsense-custom-search-to-wordpress#post-109 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 16:29:05 +0000 Ned 109@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Discussion for the article <a href="http://blog.nedsferatu.com/adding-google-adsense-custom-search-to-wordpress">Adding Google Adsense Custom Search to Wordpress</a>. From the Post:</p> <p><blockquote>So, Adsense has a newish custom search tool for adding to your sites which I rather like. It is flexible and can be embedded easier than the previous searches. The major benefit is the ability to have the search results display on a results page of your choice rather than a standard full page Google-looking results page. This of course means seemless integration with your theme and generally better user experience.</blockquote></p> <p>For more see the <a href="http://blog.nedsferatu.com/adding-google-adsense-custom-search-to-wordpress">full article</a>! </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/your-first-topic#post-1 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 18:17:37 +0000 Ned 1@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Hi, I'm glad you've come to check out the forum! </p> <p>To begin participating, please <a href="http://forums.nedsferatu.com/register.php">register here</a> which is a quick and easy process.

If you don't know what passive aggression is, please research the term before posting.</li> <li>Please respect your feelings. If you find that a thread is becoming unpleasant, please disengage.
