Kinda like poker. It can mean anything inside the slash. So. /*/feed can mean /blah/feed or /foo/feed. The dollar sign is a symbol borrowed from regular expression land (don't go there unless you are uber geeky) which means that it is the end of the line. The asterisk or (*) simply means wildcard.

Walter Mon, 31 Aug 2009 08:08:52 +0000 http://www.marksanborn.net/?p=149#comment-31372 This is the best Wordpress related advice I have seen from any developer or consultant. Thanks so much, it is really precious, and yet I want to tell folks this also. I am on the web with ipublica since 1998 and to this was never ranked properly in Google? Why? It took me years to find out it was because I was using Frontpage and it's deprecated by Google because of wrong code. Then a few months ago I started with Wordpress and made a test site. Within days, two Google staff posted me appreciative comments on one page, and I saw that page ranked 15th place in Google under the keyword. That was not happening for all those years, so I think Wordpress might not score so badly after all. Please tell me Mark, why do you put those /* in front of the commands? I have never seen that in robots files, only the format /foldername or / when it's the home page. In script language, I have seen that for making explanative comments, or for invalidating a script command. Could you kindly explain this to me, please? Thanks in advance.
