I have noticed a lot of people putting video or audio on their blogs -- content that they only want to display once...

What I mean by this is that if you place two audio clips in two blog posts and view the blog, both audio clips may play over each other (unless you actually edit the old blog post and remove the audio clip or place it in the comments).

I added a new "tag" to let you place text you only want to appear in one blog post per page... it works like this:

[ [FIRST] ]
Place your text or HTML here
[ [\FIRST] ]

(when you type this out, remove the spaces between the two [ symbols -- I had to do this so I didn't trigger the code.)

Be sure to notice the second one has a backslash before the word FIRST, this is important or it will not work.

If you place audio code in between those two tags on two blog posts, and those two blog posts show up on the same page, only the topmost blog will display the text or code between those tags... otherwise a message will appear telling the user they have to view the blog post directly to see the message or hear the audio.

I hope this makes sense. Let mek now if it works! Should save you all a lot of trouble using audio/video in your blog. Bottom line, if you are putting audio in your blogs that automatically plays, place it in the tags above and it will provide a better viewing experience for your visitors.

Oh on a side note -- I believe I sped up the system quite a bit. I had some old code for searching that was not used anymore, and it seemed to be hanging the system occasionally. I removed it a day or two ago and the system seems to be responding much faster.
