Q: So what is special about this blog post? A: It was authored on my WM5 Pocket PC using a cool lightweight blogging tool called Diarist. It’s not like I’ll do much blogging using this method (need I say writer’s cramp?), but it’s good to know that I can report should I find myself isolated [...]

Google Analytics

I’ve been playing with Google Analytics this last couple of weeks to see how I can improve readership of my blog. I noticed this morning that over the last week 13 people from Microsoft have been reading my blog: Thanks for the support guys, I’ve been using Windows Vista RC2 and Beta 2-TR of [...]
Publish Blog Content from MS Word 2007

Microsoft Word 2007 has this cool new feature to allow you to publish content directly to your blog. This post that you are reading originated from my installation of Word 2007 Beta 2. It even manages pictures for if you specify an ftp location (well sort of, I didn’t manage to get that bit working [...]
Died?

Have I died? Fortunately (or unfortunately for some) I have not, but I have been insanely busy, and have had no time to read the blog posts of others, never mind write any blog posts of my own. My current daytime project (let’s call it Fred) has been occupying all of my daytime working hours [...]

Disabled Hotlinking
Posted in Everything, Miscellaneous, tagged Blogging on March 26, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
I have disabled hotlinking of images on all of my web sites. What is hotlinking? A good explanation of hotlinking can be found here, essentially hotlinking involves remote web sites linking content directly from another web site via URL. Hotlinking is typically practiced in the blog sphere when a blog owner links to an image [...]
.TEXT Search – How To
Posted in Everything, Software Development, tagged Blogging on December 28, 2004 | 2 Comments »
I’ve just completed an “advanced searching” module for .TEXT. Just before Christmas I had added an elementary searching feature to my blogs that simply looked for a substring in the title and body of blog posts. Over the holiday I found time to enhance search to be a little more intelligent, so as to ignore [...]
Added Search to Blogs
Posted in Applications, Everything, tagged Blogging on December 22, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Wahoo! I just added a search feature to all of my blogs, hosted on RobGarrett.com. It’s a primitive search that looks for search terms in the title of body of posts and displays the top 50 results. Unfortunately my search isn’t smart enough to ignore HTML tag syntax, so if you search for Rob you’ll [...]

Help Make Blogs More Visible!
Posted in Applications, Everything, tagged Blogging on October 26, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
There are by some estimates more than a million weblogs. But most of them get no visibility in search engines. Only a few “A-List” blogs get into the top search engine results for a given topic, while the majority of blogs just don’t get noticed. The reason is that the smaller blogs don’t have enough [...]
