This Blog Again

If you have been keeping up with this blog or are new to it and are getting confused by some previous posts, allow me to explain. This blog's old template was annoying and not very customizable, so I decided to use a different template, one that was supplied by Blogger, just to make life easier. I like it and now the number of comments also show up with every post. Well, I think that there was something else I wanted to mention about this, but I have been trying to remember it for about ten minutes now, so I will just not mention it. Have a nice day. Oh and one more thing, I keep forgetting to post the "Top of Page" thing on the end of

Does Blogger Automatically Submit Your Blog To Search Engines?

I used to think that the answer to this question was yes, but then I tried to find this blog in Google and it didn't work out too well.  I think that it would be safe to say that the answer is no, Blogger does not automatically submit your blog to search engines.  Sense you are reading this I am either guessing that you searched this yourself and want to know, or you were reading through my blog, but just in case you are reading for the first reason I am going to give you a link to a site that submits your blog or site to tons of search engines.  To submit your site to search engines, go here http://www.freewebsubmission.com/.

How To Get People To Stay On Your Blog

Alright so I am going to tell you how to get people to stay on your blog, and by this I mean to get them to finish reading a post, not to continue checking back to your blog everyday or something like that, but instead answer some basic questions like "Why do people come to my blog and immediately get off?"  and "How do I get people to stay on my blog for longer time frames?"  Well when you have a blog post and it is titled with a question, I will take the question "What is the best time of day to workout?"  If I were to title a blog post like that and write a few paragraphs about it, I would want people to actually read it, not just come in get the answer and then get off.  For example the other day, I Googled that question and one of the first links I came to was a blog sort of site, it had the question, then the answer and then a few paragraphs about it.  But all I wanted was the answer, so as soon as I read the first line, it said, "Whenever you are most awake."  That was the answer, that was all I went to the site to get so after I read the first sentence, I just closed it out, but I saw that there were a few more paragraphs about it, but I didn't care to read those because all I wanted was an answer and that is what I got.  So I was on the page for a  whole 10 seconds maybe, but when you get people to visit your blog you don't want them on for only 10 seconds, you want them on for a longer time.  So this is what you do: you simply put the paragraphs that you want to write about your answer first, and then put the answer at the bottom, that way the visitor reads the full blog post because they don't want to miss the answer so they just read until they find the answer.  And it works, look right now, you just read this whole post to get that answer I just gave you.  So congratulations on your new found technique.

Blogging

Ugh, I hate this part of blogging, it, for me, is probably one of the hardest parts, and that is trying to think of something to write. I want to be able to post stuff more often, but then I am struck with the decision of what to write about, and I can never think of anything. So right now I am just writing this and this is pretty much just a waste of time to write because I am writing about writing, well I guess maybe someone could possibly read this, but I don't know. So if you ever do start a blog, you should just make it one topic, and don't label it "Everything" like I did. So if you have anything that you would like me to write about go ahead and tell me because I am clear of ideas.

This Blog (Update)

Alright so if you read my last post then you may have been unclear about some of the stuff I wrote about because now, I have fixed the fourth tab thing apparently it was just my browser, Google Chrome, once I opened this in Internet Explorer, the calibration was fine. I also just added a music player at the bottom of my blog, not many songs on it right now, but that is because I don't know what you like. Just write a comment telling me which songs or bands I should put in it. I made the widget using grooveshark.com so none of the music I put on here, or at least none so far, is mine. Also if anyone knows how I can put the blogger bar thing back at the top of my blog can you please show me how, thanks.
