You know, when I started the D list of blogs using the dofollow plugin, maybe I was a little naive. I thought the people posting it would switch their blogs over to also use the D list, and I’ve discovered more than one blog, claiming to use dofollow, that doesn’t. I’ve also received many, many comments from the same people, daily, and weekly…and I’ve visited their blogs and found that while they’re quite willing to take advantage of my dofollow, they don’t have it on their own blog. Cass wrote an excellent blog...

I’ve been using a plugin called Do Follow on my blogs for months. You may not know that when you leave a comment on a WordPress blog, a “no follow” tag is automatically inserted so that the link is NOT spidered by search engines. I know a lot of people out there love to leave comments in hopes of increasing backlinks, but you’re spinning your wheels if you’re doing it on blogs that aren’t using Do Follow yet.

This week’s featured blogger is Cass of Midlife Musings. Since Cass is a mom of many, this blog is her outlet to talk about things aside from knitting or being a mom (the focus of 2 other blogs).

My friend Cass asked me for some tips on using photos in blog entries. I’ve already posted on how to change your PhotoPress settings, but for the rest of this entry, we’ll assuming you’re not using PhotoPress, and you’re inserting your photos the old fashioned way, with some basic HTML. If you’re using the rich text editor in WordPress, you can click on view HTML source and insert this code that way. Let’s say you want to wrap some text around your photo, like I did up above? That’s easy enough. I used the code...

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have popped in since this site launched. I feel great that so many of you are able to learn something from what I’m sharing here. My friend Cass has been a frequent commenter and my post on using the simple tags plugin for WordPress inspired her to install it and start using it. Speaking of Cass, she’s launched a new blog too, over at Midlife Musings, where she rants and raves, and even makes light of Google Adsense on her blog.
