searching for my blog

April 30th, 2009 | Author: csrickard

I’ve tried several times and my blog still doesn’t appear in googles search. Not only does it not appear, but it asks me if I spelled my name correctly?!

According to the site, I’ve got everything tagged for open, view by anyone, Yes to search engines. So why does it still not show up?

(sigh) I’ll send them an email and see what the problem is.

On the upside, I have linked my blog to my facebook page (I think) and I have configured my twitter account to sync with my blog and facebook page. I have both the blog and twitter set that I can update them from my mobile. Now, if I can set up facebook the same way…

I did notice that myspace has a default link already on my phone. Why not facebook??

Soon I’ll have all of them linked…then updating them won’t be as time-consuming and I can keep them up-to-date faster AND easier. YEAH!!

On-line posting

April 26th, 2009 | Author: csrickard

I just don’t know how people continue to keep up with blogs. I guess working on the computer all day long means when I have spare time, the computer is the last place I usually want to be!

I just set up facebook and myspace pages. Facebook seems more secure and I seem to know more people on facebook. The overall community seems much more mature as well.

Myspace…well…the majority of people there appear to be young…too young. I realize that’s a generalization. I’m notorious for broad sweeping statements although I’m well aware there are always exceptions. However, the many of the posts I’ve read on myspace leave me cringing. They sound even younger than my teenage daughter!

Regardless of the community on myspace, I do like their interface and options much better. I like that you can customize your pages with various themes. I also like the apps you can add. I really liked the iread app where you can select which books you’ve read, want to read or are currently reading. (Okay, so I’m a book geek.) Regardless, I haven’t seen that type of robust customization yet on facebook. I think if they really want to gain more market share, they need to offer more options.
