What a Dope!
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010I can’t believe I’m this dumb. I’ve been complaining because all of my traffic has been generated by links from the Les Paul Forum or Facebook or Tom H’s ES-335.net site. None of my traffic has come from search engines. None as in zero. Zip. Zilch. So, today, being September 1, I decided to upgrade my blogging program which I did. Of course, it didn’t work when I tried to log on and I didn’t totally read the upgrade directions and I thought I had lost every word I had written from Day 1 which, frankly, had me totally freaked. Even if I could rewrite every post, there is nothing in the world I hate more than redoing something I’ve already done. Anyway, the folks at WordPress are smarter than I am and I guess they somehow keep you away from your own database so you don’t screw it up (and blame them). However, when I logged back on to my dashboard-the thing that I control the content with, I got a pop up. It asked me if I wanted to continue to block all search engines. If I had had a mouthful of some liquid, I would have done a spit take. After 4 months of trying to get more readers (and I’ve gotten a fair number without Google, Yahoo and Bing), I find out I’ve had the search engines blocked. What a dope. Now, maybe when you search for information about 335s, this site will actually show up.
