WordPress Hacks That Aweber form won’t work with Talian 5 because of the span tags within the code. Not familiar with Aweber, are there no other forms to use?

Actually just remembered had another customer with a problem with their Aweber form being too wide. Just looked at their code and they used a different form with different format that didn’t use span tags.

My guess would be you have more than one option for creating a form with Aweber, fully javascript (what you used) and javascript plugs HTML (what the other customer used). If that makes any sense for when you are creating a form try the other setting and if there’s any span tags in the HTML code edit them. The form you have at the moment will probably look fine without the span tags, so if there is another way to generate the code use that and remove the span tags.

I’m planning on getting an Aweber account soon, will be using it with the Stallion SEO Ad Theme for making updates and announcements more automated. So by the end of this month will be able to have a look at what sort of forms Aweber can generate as will be using them myself.

Beyond that it’s waiting for Stallion 6 which is coming on really well. I’m uploading the theme as I add new features to the above site. You can see some of the new features like Chitika ads, new placements for AdSense ads, header images, turn on/off the search form, position the tagline in the footer, Facebook widget and Facebook Like button for each post, custom comment titles (you and visitors can add a title to comments) and comment pages built in (no plugin needed now), added support for a related posts plugin that adds thumbnails to the related entries, built in automated thumbnails for posts on the home page (grabs the first image of a post and adds it as a thumbnail:, it’s not perfect, but should work well with the Massive Passive Profits plugin) and loads more features you can’t see.

Still aiming for a release by the end of this month, keep finding new features to add which takes time to code and test etc… For example there’s theory that our AdSense earnings go up if you only show AdSense ads to search engine visitors (I’ve not tested the theory). Basically the theory is repeat visitors don’t click ads, but showing them ads decreases the CTR and enables smart pricing which means an ad you might make a $1 a click from is reduced to 10 cents! I’m thinking of coding the ability to only show AdSense ads to search engine visitors and see how it goes: if the theory is correct I expect on some sites (those suffering from smart pricing) it will increase revenue and on others (not suffering from smart pricing) it will decrease revenue.
