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

Submit to RSS XXX Feed and Fresh Adult Blogs

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:
Code:

[tag]keywords, here, seperated, by, commas[/tag]
I would imagine the same would work with the new WP with tagging built in.

LD 2007-12-15 07:00 PM

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.

hashbury 2007-12-15 07:43 PM

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

T Pat 2007-12-16 11:38 AM

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

T Pat 2007-12-16 11:47 AM

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

walrus 2007-12-16 04:10 PM

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.

LD 2007-12-16 08:40 PM

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.

T Pat 2007-12-16 10:03 PM

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|

Schpork 2007-12-17 06:00 AM

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!

T Pat 2007-12-17 09:28 AM

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
Code:

[TAGS]comma, seperated, tags[/TAGS]
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...

LD 2007-12-17 04:11 PM

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?

T Pat 2007-12-17 04:41 PM

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.

T Pat 2007-12-17 05:19 PM

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.

Tekster 2007-12-17 06:03 PM

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?
