A couple of weekends ago I built a log store. I actually wrote about it, for a change!

How much of the internet is down at the moment? Last week it was duckduckgo (via bing), now it's discord, I'm sure there was another key site that was down earlier today too… 🤔

@rem

To be fair I think its all feeling a bit down at the moment.

I got my blood test results back, and they’re completely fine. Which doesn’t explain why I’m so incredibly tired pretty much all the time.

@malarkey

I believe that might be a build up of both age and cynicism.

Think I have a touch of it as well.

Well that was quick...

Google Gemini already admitting that Google have siteAuthority.

    Tiny bit of irony there - they are not happy that you are tracking visits but happy to use Google…

    I don’t use a phone case and my daughter observed me using my phone as a drink coaster, and now she’s concerned for my well being.

    My new mantra, when doing DIY, is now:

    "Treat my tools as if they are my dad's"

    My dad takes care over his tools (I do not), so if I borrow any of his, I make sure I am using it correctly and as it was intended and that it gets packed away clean and neat.

    I even jet washed his jet washer the other day as I had got it dirty 🤦‍♂️

    simoncox,
    @simoncox@seocommunity.social avatar

    @mikestreety
    Quite right! My dad used to say to me Look after your tools and they will look after you!

    What are you diying?

    Someone said they would never hire fat people, explaining that overweight people could not be trusted because if they lost the most precious thing in life - their body, their health - how could you trust them not to ruin the business they were hired to do?

    While I don't endorse this opinion, I have to admit that it has been on my mind for about a year now.

    I mean, I've been thinking about my body and my health.

    👉 New on S&N: Disallowing Disallow

    “Turns out, the Robots.txt file was preventing search engines from crawling the archives folder, which then meant that Google couldn’t then read the robots meta tags and know to noindex the pages. Damn.”

    https://stuffandnonsense.co.uk/blog/disallowing-disallow

    simoncox,
    @simoncox@seocommunity.social avatar

    @chris22smith @malarkey

    There is - obvs the robots. txt but if urls are indexed you usually want them out of the index so need to let Google read the pages noindex - then turn off using robots.txt Alternatively you can remove those urls from Google using Search Console. 😀

    simoncox,
    @simoncox@seocommunity.social avatar

    @malarkey

    Additionally Google will be following links from other sites to your old pages. Even if you get them out of the index it is still going to be looking for them because of the offsite links. And your old posts are going to have a lot of links!

    A brilliant line from the amazing @kirstyhulse irregular email newsletter:

    "And I don't know about you, but magic rarely comes with a serious face in a serious suit."

    @kirstyhulse

    And to add to this i used to have a serious suit and could only do the magic occasionally - yet was expected to produce it on tap.
