Pinging my jewelry section...

I have whipped up a quick little simple bit of infrastructure for a "jewelry" topic, mostly intended to help some silver jewelry artisans in Mexico. So hey little spiders, go take a look at my new Silver Gold and Hemp Jewelry site...

Time to Ping again...

Just dropping in for a quick ping to draw the attention of the spiders to some new infrastructure I've constructed at Auto Knotwork.

Its Ping-O-Matic Time...

Oh yeah, thank you Ryan, I do much prefer to write HTML, although truth to tell I have left the newline processing option to save me having to manually insert the BR tags. My habits would have me use P tags instead, and, yes, wrong I know, without using them as containers. My nasty habit is to just use P as a paragraph-break between paragraphs instead of using two BRs in a row. So this automation will hopefully save me from that without actually having to force myself to use real paragraph-containers. ;)

Oh what am I on about? Ryan commented on my previous post, the huge one that truth to tell was probably partly motivated by the fact that one of the blog traffic exchanges wouldn't run my blog in its rotation until I had at least two posts. So I made my second post massive to forestall any further such complaints.

Ryan also mentioned HaloScan which apparently (probably among other things) can provide a way for folks to mention their website when they comment instead of only being able to mention their blogger profile. I will try to get around to looking into that although hey Ryan, what about the new spam tools for posting spam to billions of blogs all over the net? Won't I just be inviting spammers to spam my blog looking for link popularity for their organ amplification programs? ;)

OK, that was initial housekeeping: checking responses to my prior post before posting. Now on to why I cam here today. Uh wait, maybe I should check all prior posts to see if any have been commented on since last time i checked them? Or would it have told me? I have lots to learn yet. (I checked; no new comments on first post. Which is just as well.)

OK, so what brings me here today? Well partly I just figured its been too long. Partly also I (blush blush) neglected to check out Ping-O-Matic before. So herewith a URL that I want to bring to the attention of the search engine spiders: The "Artists" section of my Graphic Omniscient Device. So now to ping... see you-all whenever...
