As for Google, be patient. Even if you’ve followed all the SEO steps to get pagerank, it’s still liable to take a few weeks to see yourself showing up.

Thanks for your comment, too. I like your idea about putting the print icon at the bottom. I think I’ll pull up the plugin editor and see if it is easy for me to tweak the code to do that. (Although it looks as if you might be saying there is already code available to do that…so, I’ll check that out, too.)

The email tool is from the same person who did the print tool…Lester Chan. It’s called WP-Email .

As to the Captcha tool…since you’ve posted one down below, I’ve decided to remove the link to the one I’ve been using, for reasons previously stated.

My next big project is to figure out why my blog isn’t getting indexed by Google, by either the blogs engine, or the main engine. (I much prefer the main engine.)

So, I’m now trying to figure out if there really is a duplicate content penalty, and so on. What fun!

Thanks for the comment on my blog about the WP_Print plugin. I see you’ve figured out how to get it working. I’m embarrassed to admit that after reading your comment, I realized that although I’d configured the options for the plugin, I’d never actually set it up to work. After consulting the read-me and fiddling around a bit, I think I prefer the print link inserted individually at the bottom of messages rather than hovering at the top as you have it, so that’s what I’ll be doing in the future.

You’ve obviously been doing a bit of customizing here on your own blog, new as it is, so let me ask a question or two in reply. Specifically, what plugin(s) are you using for the “email this” link you have up top, and for the text-entry security boxes above and below the comment area I’m typing in right now? (Or are these last just a feature of a slightly newer version of Mandigo?)

As for blogging, the primary investment is time. I’ve been pretty distracted for the past few years…so, I didn’t get this up nearly as quickly as I could have.

Now that I’m willing to commit the time to writing articles and uploading other information, I’m confident that the time investment will be worthwhile.

Wow! you did a bang-up job coming out of the shoot. I know you’re a knowledgable techie, but still, your home page is par-excellence. I love the July article. Nice segue into agency from RE melt down. I’m giving some consideration to blogging and tweeting so hope you don’t mind if I lurk around a little. I’m still not convinced of the return on investment.
