Just A Note
Mar 28, 2008 Author: jess. | Filed under: site ramblesI’ll be very slow with all my sites from now, as I’ve started work on Book.02 [as in my second book of fiction]. Thank you for your understanding :).
PS: This is a sticky post, so new updates will appear below.

Drop In Google PageRank, Search Rankings
May 1, 2008 Author: jess. | Filed under: SEO tips, blogging tipsI’ve read about some people’s Google PRs dropping (some, for no good reason). I guess the Page Rank doesn’t really matter [unless you’re into the whole “status” thing that it supposedly confers onto a blog/website ^^].
What does matter is if your ranking in the search engine itself drops.
In my case, I was on the first page (rank #1 or #2) for search keywords “unique gifts blog” [the site being www.oonique.com] for a while.
In Jan 08, it dropped to page 12, consequently page 14, and 16. Yesterday it was on the second page, and today it happens to be on the first again.

White Background, Website Glare
Mar 2, 2008 Author: jess. | Filed under: blogging tips, website tipsI like the simplicity of black text on a white background (it makes for clear reading).
However, a white background of #FFFFFF might be a little too stark, with too much glare.

There’s been some buzz recently on WordPress 2.5 — there’s a new admin interface and everything. It’s a pretty big update. Still, I probably won’t be upgrading.

Optimize WordPress Page Title
Feb 18, 2008 Author: jess. | Filed under: SEO tips, blogging tips, wordpressI’ll be focusing on optimizing the page title for a WordPress blog. Along the way, I guess there’s useful info for optimising the page title of any website.
Maybe I’ll write a future post on general tips for optimizing a page title…
Anyway, this shows the importance of placing keywords in your page title.

Man alive!
Feb 14, 2008 Author: jess. | Filed under: site ramblesI just realized there’s a better, surer way to optimise the meta elements of my WordPress blogs. With the help of an SEO plug-in (I haven’t decided on one yet).
Basically, things aren’t going exactly as they should, because the meta description for the index page is appearing on every single damn post — which is not good.
