Tshirtspace is now Dofollow

tshirtspace.blogspot.com is now Dofollow. I meant to do this already but got sidetracked. This applies to comments and trackbacks but not on follower list, at least for now. Got to keep a little juice for myself :).

If you run a website or blog you need backlinks. Nofollow on those links render them pretty much useless. Maybe not completely but still lame. Like anyone else abuse will be watched for. Spam will be removed. I may decide to leave the spam but Nofollow it just to say ha! Does that sound vindictive?

Hopefully all goes well. Helping each other is a good thing. Is your blog or website Dofollow? If so let us know how it has worked out for you. Notice I said us as if anyone else is actually reading this :).

Edit: Thanks to Highton-Ridley for leaving a comment. It gave me a chance to test this. Test was a fail as far as I'm concerned. The links Highton left were still nofollowed. The url linked to his user name was followed nicely. Big deal. Those urls point to our blogger profiles. Yippee our profiles can get some link juice. This is going to take more research. Another yippee!

Out of curiosity i took a look at my profile page. No link juice for me there. The My Blogs list was nofollowed. The Blogs I Follow list is followed. What a bust! Last night when I search on how to do this I was so happy. Happy enough to leave a post at the Zazzle forum for everyone to list their dofollow blogs. Now I get to back there and say this isn't working at blogspot.

Well hopefully there's a fix for this. If not then later I'll be setting up another blog even if it's free hosted. Just as long as it lets me control the links.

Sharethis Button not posting to Facebook from Blogger

Recently I added the Sharethis button to the tshirtspace blog. It can use all the help it can get. Last night I noticed a problem. I tried to share a post on Twitter and Facebook. It was posted to Twitter but it would not post to Facebook.

I tried reinstalling and a couple of tricks found online. Nothing worked. From what I've read others are having the same problem with Sharethis and Blogger. Finally I had to copy the post address and add it to my Facebook manually. That was after at least two hours of trying to fix it first. If you have found a solution to this please share.

Much to learn about Blogger

This blog has only been up a few days. Already I need to rethink the whole thing. It seems I have much to learn about Blogger. Over and over I read how great Blogger is. As it stands this is really just a conversation with myself. Why is that? Because the Meta Data that would help search engines find this blog is non-existent in Blogger/Blogspot blogs. Wish I new that before I got started. Oh well talking to myself is nothing new to me.

To be honest I know just a little HTML and CSS. Still enough to create my Christian family website in a text editor. That's what I was expecting to be able to do here. Turns out we cant do that. Not the end of the world however. There is some coding that can be inserted in the Blogger template. It just isn't anything I'm used to. Time to crank up the learning mode a notch.

I have been studying this situation. There are some changes to be made once they are more understood. Hopefully within a few days. Then this blog, such as it is, can be shared with the world. As much as I enjoy talking to myself it can be done much easier in person than on the web.

Have a safe weekend and May God bless you.
