I love comments from other bloggers – who else would know how encouraging it is that blogher noticed?! Thanks so much!

In regards to the *spc-* code, it does work without the *prefix for the ones that I’ve done – are your permalinks a single %postname%? If they have something before the spc- then it would work differently. If you have numbers in front of your postname permalink, then be sure to test everything carefully – I didn’t test this on anything except the single post name permalink structure.

How have you found the adjustment to WP?

Hi, I used your instructions to set this up on my recently converted Blogger to WordPress blog. Everything worked great with a little self-education, but there is one thing you need to specify in the code for the “hide wigdet” function. For the wider “spc-*” designation you need an asterisk in front of “spc” to make the widget hide on the single posts in the giveaways category -so that code in the “target URL” box should look like this:

*spc-*
category/spc-giveaways
category/spc-giveaways/*

Otherwise everything worked really well. Thank you for the help. And FYI, a BlogHer Ads rep sent me to this page!
