28 February - Google Update

It was a little strange Google update.
Very minor changes happened.
2 from my blogs lost 1 point
2 from blogs that got pr2/3/4 on inner pages on last Google update now got pr3 and pr4 on the Home Page too.
It seems as Google completed what was beginning on January.

Search keyword on the site

for example word jewelry
enter in the google serach box
jewelry site:http://yousite.com

When you start your own blog on wordpress

1.Choose you main keyword that will be in url of your blog
2.If you planning to buy in the future your own domain check what domain names are available. I'm doing it on Yahoo
3.In admin of your blog enter to Options->General and change Blog title and tagline
4.In Presentation->Themes choose template that you like
5.In Presentation->Widgets build your sidebar from the ready elements by droping them to the box Sidebar. Preferable to put in the sidebar such things as links, category, pages, archive
6.In Manage->Posts change the first automatically generated by wordpress post
7.In Manage->Pages change the about page with short 1-2 sentences description of your blog
8. In Manage->Category change the current cateory to general and add new categories

Outgoing links

This tool for checking number of outbound links is no so accurate - it's counting wordpress category links too.
