Off Topic: This is really amazing sand animation by Ksenyia (winner of Ukraine’s Got Talent). She is painting and animating German occupation of Ukraine in WW2.

Few months ago I’ve created site http://filmcomposers.info about Movie Soundtracks Composers, because I like movie soundtracks and music composing (orchestral) (I really love Hans Zimmer work). But site is still not indexed by google. I was thinking, that’s because almost all content is done by WordPress plugin Pods and there are no posts or pages and just this site is linking to the site http://filmcomposers.info. So I’ve submitted site to Google Webmasters tools, still nothing, I have check if there is no robots.txt file or if inside of that file are search spiders disalloved. I didn’t find anything. Buuut, yes, I’m such a fool It’s WordPress privacy setting: I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers or I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors. Yes, that’s why google can’t indexed my site This option adds meta tag into page header:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">

So if you have same problems and you have site based on WordPress, check in your Admin section Settings > Privacy or check html source code for robots meta tag in header.

After this discovery yesterday I’ve found out that even franto.com has same settings and it’s not indexed by google from time I’ve changed hosting provider few months ago. So I have rather changed all my other sites and they are all ok I think I need to create some AIR app for checking such SEO problems…

Hey Visitor. Thank you for visiting my site. I want to say you, that this blog has different URL structure in past years and I have changed it, because it was not nice, that each post on franto.com blog had 2 different URLs. I could just redirect this URL to http://franto.com, but I want to tell you reason, why this URL does not longer exist. If you are looking for something specific on my site and can not find, please let me know in comments and I will get back to you as fast as I can and point you to correct URL. Also if you have anything else you want me say, just write your comment below this post.

Thank you,
Franto

I’ve switched to Firefox 3.5 yesterday from Firefox 3, because browsing in Firefox 3 with many tabs opened was too slow for me. I have habit of opening many tabs and just closing them when my comp is slow and memory raises up. I don’t know if you have memory issues with Firefox 3 (I’ve ran it on Windows XP), but it really doesnt matter, if I close tab or all tabs, memory just never decrease. There are memory leaks in Firefox 3, maybe many, don’t know. But now with Firefox 3.5, memory management is much better and I see memory released after tab close.

Recently I was not satisfied with old front page, because it shows latest posts just from 2 selected categories. If I wrote new posts in any other categories, users which came from other source than Adobe feeds or any RSS reader subscribed to my feed was not aware of new posts. The only possible place was in sidebar in Recent Posts section. So I’ve implemented changes in my WordPress Community theme, which I’ve purchased while ago from ThemeForest. I’ve include all my categories to the frontpage and for each category shows 3 latest posts with read more link. Please, let me know in comments if franto.com frontpage is readable for you, is it is “visitor friendly” or if you would make any other changes there. I appreciate your feedback in advance. Thank you.

Lately, I’m learning stuff about internet marketing in my spare time. I want to try generate some money from own products, so I think it’s useful to learn such things. I was lucky to find Josh Spaulding blog about online money and internet marketing. Then I’ve joined his Internet Marketing Coaching Forum and this was real great deal. I will tell you why. It is just forum, where Josh answer questions of his members. Someone can tell it’s not Coaching, I think it is. I’ve learned a lot, made friends there and help people as well with technical stuff. Because there are writers, and mainly not Webmasters. And each of them has at least 1 site.
