There are legitimately good reasons to customize your author view of your Wordpress-powered blog: to trim the information that doesn’t apply and/or would not be interesting/relevant to readers.

In WP you can do this with code that looks like this in the template:

if($user_ID == ID) {
// show content only to ID
// you can find the ID number by going to Users
}

My page viewing, when logged in, for this blog looks different than it does for readers. For example, I don’t have the contextual advertising showing, this way I won’t have any of my own accidense. I will sometimes browse without being logged in on other non-main machines just to monitor that ads are in fact showing and they are relevant, but my main machine doesn’t show me the context ads. I do have the banners and all other ads showing that aren’t on a Pay Per Click model.

For those who use tags in their posts, you might consider showing three or less of the most important tags and leave the rest so only you see them. For the example below, we’ll assume that the number of tags was stored in a $tags array:

if(count($tags) > 3 AND $user_ID == ID) {
// show more than 3 tags to ID only
}

What about search engines?
Search engines don’t like hidden/different content for them so always show the search engine what readers will see by default. Showing the engines a bunch of keywords as links will be a red flag. It looks way too much like spam, even if that’s not what was intended.
