Learning About & Problems with My RSS Feed

Read about blogging, and you’ll also find having a RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed on a blog is very important. I noted that I had a RSS “item” in my sidebar, but when I clicked on it, it wouldn’t work. I researched the HTML code for it, but couldn’t find anything wrong. [...]

Traffic Counts For A New Blog

I recently was researching what the expected traffic counts should be for a new blog, but I keep getting hits for ‘increasing your traffic’.
As a new blogger, I am curious as to what traffic numbers I should expect. I check my awstats and webalizer stats, and see my traffic numbers, but have no way [...]

Pick Your Advertisers Carefully

As you can see, I have added advertising to my blog. I signed up for Commission Junction shortly after I started blogging, and took time to go through their extensive list of advertisers. I picked advertisers for both this blog and my other blog at www.observationmountain.com.

Validated XHTML

Learning HTML & XHTML

Today I decided to begin learning HTML (Hyper Test Markup Language).  I searched on the internet and found a great, free website, www.w3schools.com.  They have a quiz you can take, which I like, so I know if I, indeed, learned something about HTML or XHTML.   
Having looked at my “presentation” - “Theme Editor” pages on this Wordpress blog, [...]

Blogroll, Links, Sidebar, Post, Content: More Definitions

Blogroll: As you’re searching the internet and reading blogs, you’ll see a category on a lot of blogs that says, “blogroll”. I see this as a list of your friends or relatives, or, in the case of blogging, usually strangers, who have helped you as you learned how to blog. Now, you [...]

The Crawlers, Spiders & Robots Are Coming - Start Posting

Lately I’ve been researching and reading a lot about blogging. I read about SEO (Search Engine Optimization), page rank, rating of pages, crawlers, spiders, robots, pinging, trackbacks, mega tags, links, stats, traffic, etc…..the list goes on.
As a novice blogger, this information can get to be overwhelming. Should I be concerned with all of [...]

HTTP, FTP, FTP SERVER,PUBLISH, & FLICKR - MY Definitions

Even before I started to blog, officially, I kept running in words that I had seen before, but never took the time to learn what they meant. Blog, being one of them. Now I know that blog is short for web log.
Anther “word” you see often, is “http“. This is short for [...]
