To help people find me I have learned that cetain key words in my blog need to be tagged. Also people like links to related sites to help them understand what you are talking about. For example I will use Red Hat Society. Ok that wasn't too painful. I highlighted the words and clicked on Link. At the Edit Link window I surfed for their address then copied and pasted it into the appropriate box.
I think tags will be a little harder. I'll try tagging the word Face Book. Now to test if I kind find my own blog via Google. Googled "The other side of the hill" and Face Book and did not find my blog. Scanned seven Google pages and still I did not see my blog page listed. Let's remove Face Book and replace it with a less popular word, how about......locomotive. There shouldn't be too many pages that have Red Hat Society and locomotive in them. Tried Google and Bing but still can not find my blog in their lists.
My blog pops up in Google only when I type my name and title of my blog page. I am probably doing the tag thing wrong. It looks like tagging invovles HTML and I haven't a clue how that works. Guess I am off to the library to find HTML for Dummies. I'll keep experimenting and when it finally works you will be the first to know. :)
Shanon-
ReplyDeleteYou have a great blog here. It's interesting to see that you've recently started playing with some tags and other features that will make you blog more functional.
The outdoorsy theme goes well with the title of your blog, and makes an impression of what kind of person you are. I think, like my blog, yours kind of suffers from "The standard font disorder". Maybe including some new fonts will brighten this up.
I think you'll find that throwing your thoughts out there, somewhat anonymously, will be fun!

Tony,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback and thanks for pointing out I am suffering from "standard font disorder". Any idea on how I can change the font that is inside the gadgets?
