+ | '''RainDog finally understands the basic principle of a blog''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | All of this worry about getting pages into the Google listings has finally lead me to understand the basic principle of a blog: A BLOG PAGE ALWAYS HAS THE SAME INTERNET ADDRESS. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once the blog page gets into the Google listings, people who click on the link will always go to the same page, and will thus see the new content added to the top of the page. Whereas if you create a new page, there is little chance that it will get listed on Google, which means no one will ever see it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I therefore created a new page for RainDog's blog which will ''always have the same internet address'', as follows: | ||
+ | |||
+ | *http://toolswiki.ouvaton.org/index.php?title=User:RainDog/Blog | ||

+ | Put that in your Google and smoke it! | ||

+ | '''And so is the "History of Wikis" article!''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | This evening I launched again the Google search chain that should find the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wikis History of Wikis] article and no other: "WikiWikiWeb snowballed." Bingo. This article is already listed on Google, and I only posted it yesterday! | ||

+ | '''But my "WhyClublet" article got booted off Wikipedia''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | My [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhyClublet WhyClublet] article got deleted by a Wikipedia administrator called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Marasmusine Marasmusine], for failing to meet [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WEB notability guidelines for web content]. I had also created a page called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Drake Richard Drake], which I redirected to WhyClublet (the redirect was left in place). I pointed out that WhyClublet founder Richard Drake was ''notable'' as one of the original WikiReductionists, who were historically the first group anywhere to deliberately delete other peoples' articles from a wiki (from WikiWikiWeb in this case). The article about the first person to delete articles from a wiki was just deleted from a wiki (from Wikipedia in this case). | ||
