After wrestling with WordPress for far too long, I found a solution from Justin Tadlock for redirecting users and bots to a custom Feedburner URL as well as replace the auto generated urls that are output by wp_head() and link to /feed by default.

Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Web
When you reflect on how technology has transformed different industries such as medical, financial, or social, one of the biggest components to these changes is software development. Yet despite the fact that software development is such a crucial component to other industries, it’s amazing to me how little the practices used to write code have improved over the years. IDE Software and a keyboard are really the only tools a programmer uses on a daily basis, yet somehow these tools have barely evolved in the last few decades. This post, we’re going to focus on Integrated Development Environments and save keyboard hardware for another time.

Download Files Recursively with PHP
There are many tutorials and scripts out there that will help you download/get ftp files from one server to another, but this is a slimmed down version that doesn’t have any unneeded fluff. There’s a linear approach to setting up FTP connection info, as well as a OOP example of performing server actions. If you’re familiar with OOP, this would be ideal to condense and refine into the FTP Class, otherwise, if you just want this to work without worrying about classes or scope, you can copy/paste the contents from the class into the linear script and it’ll get you where you need to go. Cloud servers can be a great way to host these heavy processes or bulky PHP scripts. Feel free to leave comments or questions.
