Autometa just installed.

robot.jpgWell I just installed autometa after a Kian Ann was talking about adding meta tag’s

did not use Meta tags as i thought in this day and age they where pretty much obsolete, no one for sure knows if Google still uses them, and all the meta search spiders drink up all the bandwidth and their isn’t much you gain from it. So i though i should give it a go for a couple of months.

But i just came across autometa automatically sets up your keywords by scanning your text when you publish it, so now i will keep using meta tags as I don’t have to waste time typing them in!

Blogging Where Shall I Write A Draft?

Normally when I go to write a post for my blog I will open up Open Office or MS Office, but this got me thinking I have a full text editor on my blog and I also have the Google toolbar so why should i need to even use and word processor.
So this post is just a trial to see how well Google and Wordpress work together alternative of using OO, but already Google spell checker is messing up my work its adding all kind of crap to my posts, don’t know what was happening their but i think i have sorted out that issue with clicking loads of buttons randomly.

wordprocessorSo now I’m going to check this one last time with Google spell checker and copy it into MS Word.

Well one good thing is that it detected that i wasn’t using any capital ‘i’.

But from this expirience of using Wordpress + Google toolbar Vs a word processor is that when in wordpress it will allow me to add pictures which I can’t really do in a word processor for obvious reasons, and i can’t copy over bullet points without having problems when viewing in Internet Explorer.

SEO isn’t just for fun.

googlesearch.jpgWell I’ve actually noticed that I’m doing a really crap job at SEO which is pretty much annoying me, this month I have a target of 200 unique hits and when I compare this to other new bloggers it’s a really crap job I’m doing at the moment so in January I’m going to start doing as much research into SEO as possible and I’m going to try and hit a target of 1000 Unique visitors by the end of march.

Please any tips on SEO would be brilliant, I’m looking forward to this challenge.

Bullet For My Valentine - The Poison

bulletthumb.jpgThis is an album full of powerful emotional lyrics, though NOT EMO. Which released during the explosion of young, almost old style metal bands was brilliant timing for Matt Tuck (Frontman for Bullet). This album features more tracks then their previous one and should be appreciated for the potent influence from metal bands Iron Maiden and Metallica.

The whole album is based around the same emotions which allows all the songs to interact with each other, their first single released from the album was ‘All these things I hate revolve around me’, this was a great place to start as it had the metal but wasn’t too harsh which allowed a wider selection of listener to appreciate it. i.e was more accessible to a wider audience.

Pictures on your blog good or bad?

Well if you’ve been reading my blog you will notice that I don’t use pictures in my articles but I though I should go around different blogs looking at the advantages and disadvantages of pictures.

Book & Pen

Advantages:

1. It entices people into your writing by this I’m talking about when you read a blog if you notice their isn’t any pictures your eyes want to wander away.

2. A picture is worth a thousand words, you will be surprised how true this is lets take a film for example like Harry Potter then compare it to the book a film is about 1 hour and 30 I guess and if you read the book it can take around 3 hours to read it so we can see here a picture is worth a thousand words.

3. Brightens up your design, well I’m comparing two sites which one doesn’t use pictures in the post and one does, looking at one where their isn’t any pictures its pretty much dull all over it doesn’t draw your eyes to anything, now comparing this to the one with pictures it looks more colourful.
