Awhile back, I wrote about what it takes to start your own blog. Unless your blog is only meant for your private circle of readers, in most cases, you’ll want people to read what you have penned down, and even make some money from it.
The most effective way to do that is to get it listed in Search Engines.
One of the most frustrating thing about using open-source applications is that you never know what are some of the default obscure settings the application comes with. It doesn’t help when I add my own stupidity into the equation.
I found out today, 3 months after this site went live, wondering why it still hasn’t been indexed by the big ‘G’. It turns out that Wordpress, by default, has the privacy setting turn on, preventing search engines like Yahoo and Google to index the pages on this site! Doh!
