Tips on Webhosting, Blogging, Web Design, Webmastering, SEO, CSS, and whatever the damn hell I know.
I just realized there’s a better, surer way to optimise the meta elements of my WordPress blogs. With the help of an SEO plug-in (I haven’t decided on one yet).
Basically, things aren’t going exactly as they should, because the meta description for the index page is appearing on every single damn post — which is not good.
So I’ll be spending quite some time fixing all of that, and will later write a post about it here. Probably with a bunch of other posts. I’ve always treated blogs somewhat like websites, and I’ve always liked updating a website at my own time.
I’ve read that a consistent level of updating (as opposed to frequency of posting), with regards to a blog, is better for SEO. As in, it’s better to update once a week, consistently — as compared to once a day for a week, then a break of two days, followed by three posts over two days, and so on.
I don’t have fixed schedules for many things, including blogging. I guess I’ll look to other (more reasonable, IMO) methods to rank relatively well in search engines.
On a completely unrelated note, I’m halfway through Bram Stoker’s Dracula; what an awesome, bone-chilling book.
// Update 15 Feb: Meta is improved. Apart from The Galeon blog directory disappearing — due to a “smart” move on my part — I think the rest is okay.

I think the SEO plugin is not really useful? For me, submitting the sitemap to google is already enough.
how’s the exams!
hmm, i find the plugin useful (not the all-in-one seo pack, i downloaded “another seo plugin”, something like that). coz my blog title and meta description were showing up for each blog post — better to have unique keywords than follow the main index exact (which may also be considered duplicate content).
alas, something happened with the blog directory site. the whole thing disappeared.
luckily i had a late january backup. this will remind me to backup more often…
