Listed in seach engines because we blog

Google Logo
If we run a weblog, one information that we usually display is our name. I am not talking about those who hide their personal identities — especially real name. It is optional to display about the blog author information. Few days ago, Harry Sufehmi mentioned about his finding on google.co.id search using his name as the keyword. And he — when I write this entry — is on the top position.
It is interesting. Weblog can put nobody into somebody (on the internet). And I am sure that many bloggers had tried their luck to find their position on search engines. Here are some blog entries mentioning about their findings:

Deliver your information correctly

If you build a site, you will deal with HTML tags. Like or not, it is a must. You will deal with headings, paragraph, list, definitions, etc. To be more spesific, if you have blogs, you will see many tags.
When we make a web page, we make a document. Just like when you work with document editor like Microsoft Word or Open Office. What are the characteristics?

  • Your document has many headings
  • Your document has paragraphs
  • If you want to display a list of information, you will display them as “list”
  • If it is a definition, you will display it as a “definition”
  • and more…

“Hey, but the most important thing is that I can display the information, the information is there!”

That’s probably a common answer. But, if you call yourself a web designer, you should — once again, “should” — know how information should be delivered in a web document. To be more clear, take a look at these two examples:

<h2>This is a title</h2>
<p>You put some information here.</p>

and

<p>This is a title</p>
<p>You put some information here.</p>

Both have exactly the same “information”. But, they are displayed in different way. Which is the better? Which one is correct?
Another example:

<ul>
<li>List number one</li>
<li>List number two</li>
<li>List number three</li>
<li>List number four</li>
</ul>

and

- List number one<br />
- List number two<br />
- List number three<br />
- List number four

Now, you can see the difference, right?

Lynx Viewer

I just checked my site using Lynx Viewer, and I got a display result. Well, the <li> looks fine, and the other also. But, I think I do not have something like Skip to Navigation. And it’s gonna be a homework. :)
Big thanks to Lala for the nice buttons. She made me these buttons:
Warnadunia Hosting banner 1 Warnadunia Hosting banner 1
She puts her own banner (hehe… rabbit? Why don’t you have goat there? Hihihih).. Thank you La!
UPDATE:
orkut.gif
Hey! Big thanks to Bang Mamatz for the invitation to join Orkut. Now, I know what it is looked like. Comparing to Friendster, I think Orkut is much better — mmmm… the interface, and the community will not grow too fast. But there are many fields. Hehehe… And I feel that Orkut loaded faster than Friendster. Nice eh?
So, now I have another toy, not only Friendster — so far, 33 friends in Friendster, and one (yes! One!) in Orkut. Anyone want to be invited? If so, please put your first name and last name here, and your email in the email field. I will try to invite you.
You know what, not many Indonesian using Orkut I suppose. So… you? — Makasih banyak Bang Mamatz! Dan, met ulang tahun! Malah saya yag di kado nih…

LiveJournal.com: Invite codes are GONE!

Well, good news? For those who want to have a LiveJournal account for free? I think so. Now, you can sign up for FREE.
Me? Well, I just registered. Just want to know LiveJournal interface. Yeah… why not? I want to see it. But, until now… I like to have a weblog hosted on my own hosting. Have it installed, and do some modifications.

Updated
Well, I want to stressed on this sentence. It’s all about two spaces. Arghh… bang my head.

I have post a thread at pMachine Forum. And Brent C. Wilson (Thanks Brent!) answered that thread. I did exactly what was instructed there… but. It doesn’t work.


And, Brent sent me an email, asked me to show him my weblog.fns.php. He gave me an instruction, I tried it. Not working. Send email again, telling that I did it backward. Woops… sorry. He gave me the right way to do it (again! Thank you Brent! Thank you so much for your patience). And.. still not.

Finally, he told me the magic sentence,“You have two spaces between the number of comments and the word “comments.” So try replacing “1 comments” and “0 comments” with “1 comments” and “0 comments” (here, I had two spaces after the comment total number). Or change your templates to eliminate the extra space.”

Nice catch! After fixing that, VIOLA! It works! Yes, it works! Once again, big thanks to Brent!

Now, when there is no comment, the comment link text will be “No comments posted”, when there is only a comment, it will display “One comment”. Fiewh… a problem solved. Remember Thomas, just because of another extra space. One space, not two…
Woops.. it’s almost 1 AM here, time to sleep now… fiewh!
