Added FeedBlitz to Blogdotes

Added Blogdotes headlines to Beginner’s blog. Through FeedBurner

It seems that it takes about a week for my posts to get into search engines. Today I got a hit for my post Temptations, which was posted on Jan. 22
It turns out that my articles are pretty long on this blog. And I really hate to have full text of them on the first page. I need only the intro text of 100-500 words there. Trying to figure out how to do that, so far no luck.

Looks like I’m back on Technorati with Blogdotes. They lost me after the first few days, and did not show updates to my blog, no matter what I did (manual pings, repeated pings, etc;). Today I got a hit from Technorati again. Seems that my latest posts startedto appear ther. Mind you, it still says that I had only 15 posts in last 17 days, but at least I’m there again.

Seems that the editor from DMOZ directory reviewed my site today. Maybe I’ll get listed there soon.

Installed Performacing plugin for Firefox. Absolutely love it! Perfect tool for publishing entries to this Diary page. Now I need better FeedDemon/Firefox integration and I will have the ultimate blogging solution.

Will start using Performancing now and then will look at the Flock, when a public beta is released. Comparing these too might be good idea for the post.

Now that I found a way to post entries that do not appear on the main page, I’m considering of applying this to Blogdotes. I’m thinking of adding category of Dirty Jokes, where I will post jokes that are suitable only for adult audience looking for them (with foul language, explicit sex topics, etc;).Know quite a few of these, but didn’t want to have them on the main page.

Also thinking that it might be time to get to business. Considering the launch of my first product blog. No reason to put it further away. The later you start, the later you will get results. Today I did some research, bought a domain and installed Wordpress on it. Will spend next week doing some research, customizing the site and adding content to it. Will announce it here, next Sunday.

Starting to get subscribers to my feed for Blogdotes. FeedBurner shows my live feed circulation at 13 today. The amountof time some vistors are spending on Blogdotes is also increasing. Today the hit count is almost 3 times higher then unique vistors.
