Search results for my name

I’m really not concerned with SEO, but every now and then I’ll type my name in Google to see what comes up. I could care less if I’m even in the results to be honest, but once I began to hold a solid position in 5th place, I started wondering if I could raise the bar a little. A recent search (Valentines Day) shows that I’ve managed to move up to 3rd, while displaying my true incompetence!

What a lovely time for Google to update its indexes. I am an application error.

By the way, you need to add a :limit condition to your comments RSS feed :-p

@Chris – I had it there, but just recently modified my comments feed, and must have accidentally removed it. I added it back in. The way I had it before, it was only pulling the latest comments for the latest entries, rather than the latest comments no matter what. People were commenting on entries from a while ago (past the most recent 15), and I didn’t know. When I login to my site, I show a list of recent comments, so that’s how I realized it. It turns out someone was asking you more questions about storing images in a database versus file system through the comments. But my inaccurate feed prevented us from knowing that. Anyway, the limit is back now. And I’m curious, how did not having a :limit affect you?

I have an RSS reader app for OS X that said your site had 218 new comments this morning :-p

Ha, yeah… I forgot that I changed the comment titles from:

“Title of the post” by Name

to:

Name on “Title of the post”

I guess your reader saw that as new, and pulled all comments. It did something weird like that for me, but after that initial 218, I’m guessing everything would have been fine without the limit.

Have something to say?
