Sometimes I get so incensed about something currently in the news that I have a go, but not all that often. I wonder if all the blogs will be available for future genealogists? Quite a thought! lc, you’re right to blog whatever bubbles up. Sometimes I get so incensed about something currently in the news that I have a go, but not all that often.

I post about whatever bubbles up. My basic purpose is to record those moments big and small that are meaningful to me but I would probably not remember about my retirement had I not recorded them. I rarely post about the momentous news of the day. Others handle that. I really don’t set out to choose topics. I post about whatever bubbles up.

It is a math formula and therefore not always logical like we think! I wonder if I can tell how people get to my blog? JohnO has the search process correctly.

For several weeks after I got some very strange searches which brought people to my blog! I think they might have been a bit disappointed when they got there!

Search engines don't really make use of them and tend to 'read' the entire page. It's difficult to know exactly how search engines index the data as that's very much their protected intellectual property. And there are as many different indexing algorithms as there are search engines. If you've not done it already, consider adding one of the SEO (search engine optimisation) plugins for WordPress. They tend to cover all the bases for the main search engines. Categories and tags are really only useful to those who are already on your site to help them find related articles.
