Today I learned some more stuff about blogging.
When you register your blog, your blog gets more recognition because I think it gets pined and crawled more. I'm not interested in registering my blog because I don't necessarily want just anyone reading it. I'm not wanting to sell anything or garner recognition. Eventually, after I finish the "23 Things" course, I want my blog to be for my family. I'll just give them my blog address.
I found out that ping is a little program that is sent out to other web sites and the other web sites send back an answer; sort of like radar sends out a signal and it's bounced back to the sender. A time lapse is calculated depending on how far away the other computer is. I'm not sure why this is important.
A ping is tied in some way with a blog crawler. When Google or some other entity crawls your blog, it is another program looking for new information that has been recently posted. Key words are important to the crawlers because the information extracted is put in an index. When someone is searching for a particular topic, if one of your keywords has been indexed, your blog may come up on the list for the searcher to see. If you want your blog to be very visible, blog something important every day.
Well, that's what I learned today and I hope that it's somewhat correct.
