BBS 2006: Getting Started: Your First Blog

notes:

-- if you're going to start blogging, don't start with Blogger or Livejournal. try Wordpress.org or Typepad.com
my take: Typepad rules! i made the right choice early on :)

-- think "keywords"; think keywords in URL.

-- blog title is key: put product names on titles. exactly! :)

-- the higher the keywords are on the page, the more relevant they are (from the perspective of search engines). so put navigational section on the right of your blog for search engine optimization. 2-column right improves search engine ranking. sweet! coz i'm already doing it :)

-- Dave Taylor really likes Typepad. cool. at least we have some similarity :)

-- even if you never want to blog, that's ok, because the blogosphere is still there.

-- comment on other people's blogs but stay on topic!
