In the news:
I ran across this
free SEO software that you download and install on your (if you have one)
wordpress.com blog. It is supposed to increase your blog traffic by a bunch of times. I've downloaded it but have yet to install it since they suggest that you install it on a brand new blog or backup your existing one and I've yet to figure that out. Also, honestly, this stuff is something I would really rather someone else do for me since I really don't care for the technical aspects of this internet stuff :o) But, I'm going to check it out and will attempt to follow the tutorials the guy,
Jeff Johnson, very thoughtfully provides. If anyone figures it out before me...let me know! You opt-in at his website, Underground Training Lab, and you get all kinds of great free advice along with the
SEO software.

PING!
I got my first *
pingback* today! I open my email and there is this piece from donotreply@wordpress.com and I slightly freak at the subject: "Please moderate
"Conscious Joy: The Dating Game" which is a blog post that I put up today. I'm thinking to myself..."Oh great...what the hell did I do wrong?" But, I open the letter and there is a notice about a new pingback. Now, I have run across this ping thing before, but just glancingly, so I go to investigate more thoroughly. And there it is!
From the Wikipedia (where else!?!)
"
A Pingback is one of three types of Linkbacks, methods for Web auth...."
So, someone had linked to my
blog post! Wooo hooooo! My first official pingback!
And, I also got my first comment!
I still have no clue what I am doing...but for some reason, I think I'm doing OK.
:o)
