My first blog
 

I'm getting ready to promote it, but thought I would get some feedback. I want to add in some handwritten post, but not sure if I have time..for now it's 99% feeds. I can't figure out how to get an image in the header which I would like to do.

Also, on the blog roll: do you typically add just blogs, or all kins of sites?

LD do me a huge favor
I promise it will get you crawled by google and some traffic within 24 hours
Submit your blog to:
Technorati
get a FeedBurner Feed and add it below your feed
Submit to RSS XXX Feed and Fresh Adult Blogs

I need to check the size of my dick and a theory |huh
I'll do some link swapping next week with you |thumb

Will do, but I need a break...my hands are worn out handling all this pussy...|thumb

Nice first blog. You would need to edit the image header_bg.gif or at least thats the only way I know to do it.

I see you've followed at least some of TPat's advice and thats a good thing.

As far as my blog roll, I prefer blogs in the same niche, then other sites in the same niche and finally I'll trade with sites that I like or think my surfers would like.

I usually try to submit to 8-10 blog directories, including the two I run and a couple of LL's that accept blogs.

Setup categories or at least one catch all that's not uncategorized.

I'm not sure how the new wordpress handles tags but if your using BA, you should be able to setup a generic set of tags in BA's header / footer section. The old way using UTW is like this: I would imagine the same would work with the new WP with tagging built in.

Thanks for all the help and feedback. Walrus, I'll try to figure out the tag thing before I submit...I think I know what you mean, and I am using BA, but not really familiar with that part of the program yet.

So this was your other project
I dont know much about blogs
but i think your blog is very nice
good work

LD
I would leave my feed up above Feedburners (http://www.pussymeister.com/?feed=rss) and not devote so much real estate to Feedburner.
I see your having the same problem with chiclet images I am (images not showing up at times) you can fix that by saving the images and delivering the images rather than relying on Rojo or whoever.
I'm about done with the whole chiclet thing and am going to switch everything I have to add this my thinking is 2 out going links are better than 12, of course I could be shooting myself in the foot |huh
The last thing I want to mention is TAGS Walrus and I had several PM's back and forth regarding TAGS over a year ago, I listened to him then got lazy as time went by. On a lark I added tags to RSS XXX Feed about 6 weeks ago my traffic has picked up a lot because of the tags, I'll show ya
Googlebot hits so far this month 112553+36

damn didn't start out to be so long winded |loony|

Woops I can't parse your feed validator.w3.org
try just removing:
#
#
and see if it validates

I've been reduced to an old fucking iMac on dial-up and after 50 minutes and Safari crashing three times I've given up on doing anything near productive. What that has to do with this thread...absolutely nothing but I needed the rant really fucking bad!

Shit and I thought no one even bothered listening to my maniac blatherings. I'm going to have to be more careful...na never mind.

LD, I like the feeds by e-mail thing and am trying it on a couple of blogs but I edit out the feedburner link. I figure it's enough that I help them harvest e-mail addresses.

Also, delete the links from your footer. I doubt the mainstream companies mind not being linked to from a porn blog.

Use that space for something more productive, like an old fashioned money bar or something.

Thanks guys, I'm taking notes...hope to work on this a bit tomorrow. I'll look at the validator issue. I'm using this plug...don't know how good it is

http://wp.uberdose.com/2007/03/24/all-in-one-seo-pack/

Do you think adding tags with this is workable?

I tried removing the line, but still won't validate. Without the line it complains about not having a doctype..|angry|

Hey hashbury, thanks for the props. Yeah, this is my other, other, other project. I* do like the blogging, though. Hopefully I can do this and free/avs sites. Wish there were more hours in a day..

Man, I owe you guys a beer.

It validates now, but I still can't parse it. I think it's all the extra code from that plug in. |huh
I'll take another look tomorrow when I'm fresh, been up since 2:30 and I'm brain dead|yawn|

Nice blog, especially for your first one, however, you still need to change your permalink structure (SEO, google likes this alot), go to options>Permalinks
then instead of the standard structure use this: /%category%/%postname%/

Your post will then have urls: yourblog.com/category/post-title
instead of yourblog.com/?p=123

Good luck and if you want to trade links with http://www.bestxxxmedia.com PM me

Hahahaha! "I need to check the size of my dick and a theory" made me laugh. Good humor. And the blog looks pretty sweet.

Thanks, let me sort some of this stuff out, I'd love to do some trades!

Good catch there Schpork|thumb
LD why don't you just get rid of that "all in one SEO" plugin for now
I'm thinking if we all stick with you until you have your blog dialed in a lot of questions will get answered for other board members and future bloggers|goodidea

Excellent...best to get the first one right rather than trying to go back and correct a bunch (I know this from experience...:) )

The SEO plug is gone...bear with me here..now do I put the key words in the header using the built in template editor in WP?

No you would add the keywords in BA.

Log in to Blog Automater, then templates and create a header for footer template with the tags you want to insert. I messed up on the syntax a bit it should be The S at the end is important as it tells the script it is a list of tags and not a single tag.

Once you've created the header / footer go to camapaigns, search and edit the campaign for your blog. About half way down the page is custom header and custom footer section. The template you just created should show up. Highlight it and then click the "Content Manipulator works for Footers" checkbox. (or "Content Manipulator works for Headers" if you chose a header template.

OK got it. Cool that BA has stuff I didn't even know about. Before I edit all my campaigns, let me ask you about the tags. I entered 15, seperated by commas..like this:

[TAGS]pussy,babe,babes,fuck,sex,twat,tits,ass,lesbian,whore,cunt,fox,beaver,snatch,adult[/TAGS]

Should I go with less, more...anything I ommitted that maybe should be in there?

Schpork, I got the Permalinks sorted out I think. I went with the one that is not date biased...anything i should know there?

Got the links in the footer edited, took out the feedburner link in the email sign up box.. stil playing around a bit with the side bars.

Still having problems with validator..wants to add lots of extra tags in the code...

Walrus, on the tags...they show up in the actual post. WP has a special tag section which does not show up in the post. Should they be in that section?

LD I have my bug back I feel like shit, how you display your tags is up to you. I spent yesterday trying to make a tag clould for BO I like the idea of tags at the bottom of a post as well as a tag cloud for the whole page, but that's your decission
your feeds are still not working for me when I feel better I'll setup a wordpress blog and see if I can duplicate the problem (haven't played with wordpress in a long time)

Sorry LD, it looks like I took you down a blind path.

Tagging in WP 2.3x doesn't support Simple Tags, so that method won't work. It has it's very own system which will import tags that were created prior to the upgrade but doesn't support any of the previous tagging plug-ins. Fuckers!!!

I also seems that the person who wrote the UTW plug-in has gotten tired of chasing the multiple WP upgrades and is no longer developing the plug-in.

So unless you want to edit every post and add your tag list, there is no easy way to do it.

I swear I will never upgrade WP. The thing that I thought made it a powerful script was the large availability of plug-ins, many of which did the same thing a little different so you could customize your functionality. That seems to be gone

Do you know what the last version that UTW supports is?
I'm wondering if he would be better off getting an older version of wp through the archive |huh

The lack of a way to manage tags seems to be an issue in the WP forums. I thought I saw a solution, but I'll have to revisit and see. I put a message at the BA support forum about this issue. Maybe it will at least get them thinking about it.

T-Pat, hope you get better there, man. Not sure why the feeds don't work. I might have missed something you said and screwed something up...not too uncommon thing for me, espcially when it comes to coding and shit.

I put a bug in Kaktus's ear yesterday about Tags after I gave up.
I'm realy thinking an older version of WP might solve some problems let's see what Mr. Walrus thinks.

I found this WP site with an archive of just about all versions of WP.
http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/

I wonder just like TPat what is the latest that supports UTW. I am thinking of getting the 2.3 version removed and install an older version for my new blog. Any opinions?

This is from the UTW plug-in website:I checked and the last version WP that I have that is actually using UTW is 2.04.

I've got a couple blogs that are running 2.21 and I have UTW enabled just not using it. I'll spend some time this afternoon thinking up some good basic babe keywords and add them via BA and see what happens.

Otherwise I'm pretty sure you could get the same affect using Simple Tags and if your not into creating tag clouds that would work but probably not with 2.3.

Especially since WP has begun developing its version de-jour approach, I'm a firm believer that we all need to find a version that works with the plug-ins we like and stick with it.

Nice link TekAngel.

I have never upgraded a blog (can image the number of headaches I've saved on that one) but have always downloaded the latest WP and plug-ins when starting a new project. Since 2.3 I had already started saying enough is enough and was planning on staying in the 2.2 range for the rest of my blog work.

I really rely on UTW for a lot of things and I'm not willing to go searching for other things that may or may not fit the bill so I'll check 2.21 on my splogs and if that doesn't cause too many problems stick with it.

But in the future, I'll start checking the 2.0x versions and find the latest one that seems compatible with my existing plug-ins.

Well the SEO plugs for Blogs don't work too good if you ask me, just Install the Google Sitemaps plugin, get your sitemap on the google.com/webmaster thingy so they load all your links.

Managing the tags with WP is indeed kinda fishy, please teach me if you find out more ^^

I had a new fetish blog on my projects list until I installed the WP 2.3x and a copy of BA and found out there's no good way to handle the tagging arrangement I wanted to use. The UTW plugin won't work with the new WP and the same (or very similar) problems using BA's tagging method with WP 2.3x.

Right now I'm waiting to see what the next version of BA looks like. I'm hoping Kaktus builds in a way to add tags there and have them appear correctly in WP 2.3x versions. Also, I'm sure there will be more plugins for the +2.3x versions of WP once developers have had time to, well, develop them.

In the meantime, I have blogs still running on WP 2.0x which are doing just what I want them to do. I like some of the new features in 2.3x but for me it's not ready for production use until BA and some other plugins catch up with how it does things.



.

I dropped in the Simple Tag plug above, and fed it the tags set up in BA. Take a peek if you get a chance. I changed the default in Simple Tags as per their website.

I suppose they are supposed to link like that... Seems like a traffic leak having all those links in the post.


http://www.pussymeister.com/

Lesson learned today - When setting the permalink structure this way, you should not change your post titles or your links will go 404.

Also special characters like "-" in the post title or your can cause 404 errors.

Looks like your template is calling http://www.pussymeister.com/wp-conte.../header_bg.gif as a background image - this is a slice image about 10 pixels wide and is repeated across the header. If you can edit the code to set header width, it's then a simple matter to place an image in the header. take a look at http://www.outlawpornblogs.com/ - I had to change templates because my original had a bug in it - took me about 5 minutes to make a header image. I did the same to http://www.outlawinternet.com/ but had to do a little more image editing and gradient work there.

Hit me up on ICQ (number is in my profile) and I'll see if we can work through the header issue.

I wouldn't link to technorati. That is a leak. I've not really used Simple Tags but with UTW you could set those links to your site and the tag became a simple navigation tool for those who were looking for more of what you have to say about "pussy".

The problem is that WP seems to be releasing a "new version" about every six weeks. Or at least an updated version. In my estimation thats way too often, it can't be fully debugged and never really gives the plug-in builders time to catch up.

Ahh, I see now I can set up links in BA for tags so tags will go anywhere I choose. Nice! It looks like with BA and simple tags I can finally get this right. I'll PM you when I get this fixed, maybe you can take a peek.


Should I trim the tags a bit? What do you think about using "playboy" and "penthouse" linking to their site with my codes?

Hey papa, I'm going to play with the header image a bit...will be hitting you up with icq.
