First, Rose’s people called: she did not appreciate being called “full-figured” in my post about Rose and Daisy. From now on, we shall describe her as “fluffy.” Which she is.
Secondly, in reading Naked Conversations (again, v. risque!), I learned a little about how entries move up and down the Google search results list because of blogging:
“Blogging turns out to be the best way to secure a high Google ranking. Google spiders out onto the network in search of change. Blogs get updated all the time, while most [Web] sites do not, so blogs get more search engine attention…Neither a press release nor a full-page ad in the New York Times will boost your search engine rankings as much as a regularly updated blog” (Naked Conversations, pg. 29).
Fascinating!
Lastly, if you’ve posted on this blog, you’ve noticed that the timestamp is 5 hours ahead of EST. That is because http://wordpress.com, which kindly hosts http://accidentalluddite.com (tell your friends!), is based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). (Sometimes, the timestamp is 10 hours ahead of EST; no good reason why.) Just wanted to put that out there in case someone’s boss (like, mine) reads this and wonders why content is timestamped at the same time the author is supposed to be in a meeting. Oopsie!
