Actually sstimson was the one who pointed out the correct jewel. But if he doesn't post a riddle in let's say 24 hours then I will.

How about a Palindrome code!

sirsr bhbdb cjbfb abkbu bhbxb lbxbh bubkb abfbj cbfbh bogdr

part of that has fillers and this time it is a keyed Caesar

I used this pageto encode it and I use a very simple cypher before that

the filler letters (used only for the caesar part) are:  filer here

have fun

The filler letters, are they 'filer here' or was that a typo and was meant to be 'filler here'?
Just clarifying.

When you select the filler letters from the code, you can check the number of them. It seems it was a typo.

Okay teamwork time. I have to do something else now so I got this far:

sirsr bhbdb cjbfb abkbu bhbxb lbxbh bubkb abfbj cbfbh bogd

This is supposed to be a palyndrome so it has to be symmetric. "l" is the center.

sirsr bhb d bcjbfbabkbubhbxb l bxbhbubkbabfbjcb f bhb ogd

So the non-symmetric filler letters are:

s i r s r d f o g d
f i l l e r h e r e

sorry the filler is indeed "filer here" not needing the extra L

by the way there is a goof in the code as Mdavid shows. His first RED D should be an F

corrected code is as follows

sirsr bhbfb cjbfb abkbu bhbxb lbxbh bubkb abfbj cbfbh bogdr

So it will be:

sirsr bhb f bcjbfbabkbubhbxb l bxbhbubkbabfbjcb f bhb ogd
So..

sirsrogd
filerhere


Excluding the repeated letters:
sirogd
filerh


Becomes this.
Perhaps a Caesar box code? Because they're in groups of five. ::)

Let me give you a hint you are not going to like

those red letters are the filler but the filler is not Filer Here in order, it  is more mixed up then that

Since most the filler is not in the message I will tell you that

Code R is plaintext E

also Nix you like Mdavid keep forgetting the R at the End. The last group is O-G-D-R

Ah, so it will be:
sirsrogdr
filerhere


But the order is actually not filer here.
And R = E

Ooh...

That means:

sirogd
??e???

Is my code that hard?

R= E and filler words are filer here also

sirsr bhbfbcjbfbabkbubhbxb l bxbhbubkbabfbjcbfbhb ogdr

So the non-symmetric filler letters are:

s i r s r d f o g d
f i l l e r h e r e
so spelling it out for you - sirsr ogdr is the filler - filer here and with R as E you get

sirsr ogdr
  e e      e

since you know the two words that means the e-e must be the hERE part and the single E must be the filEr part so

sirsr  ogdr
here file missing an R but you should now know that S as R you get
sirsr ogdr
rhere file

or S=R, I=H, R=E, O=F, G=I, D=L

now go to it

Sorry... I really didn't have time.

So it would be
sirogd
rhefil


Someone, go ahead I can't do it right now.
