    Jeremy, I have a question about my blog site. When I wrote my first blog, I guess I accidentally put the title of my subject where my name should be. How can I fix that? Marty Mossa

      Just a reminder: the best place for you to receive help with this type of a question is the WordPress.org support forums, where there are many other users who love to help out other WordPress users to solve these types of problems with their blogs.

  8. jeremyclarke Says:

    In the video I recommend temporary content caching with get_option and update_option. I’ve since learned about the Transients system. If you need to cache data in the options table please use that instead: http://codex.wordpress.org/Transients_API
