One of the things that increases your "Google Juice" is "Link Love." I'm helping a friend build a Web site about Trout fishing, called www.TroutU.com. I was explaining that Google and other search engines give high credibility to sites that have a lot of links to it, coming from other sites. He asked me how to get others to link to his site, which is a great question.

I installed three new modules in my efforts to get my blog up to par with WordPress and BlogSpot. My wife Valerie, whose blog is at nothingbetterthanablankpage.blogspot.com, is a heavy user of the scheduling function. She does multiple blog entries then schedules them for daily release. I wanted to do the same thing, so I installed the following: Scheduler - this allows me to set a time to publish any node.

I had several issues I wanted to address with regard to this blog. First, I wanted a tag cloud so that readers could easily find posts based on the tags. I also realized that Drupal's Clean URL's were not producing blog-like, Google-friendly URLs for my posts. So I added three new modules to this Drupal site tonight while watching the Presidential Debate. Path - this is a core module that is required for Pathauto. Pathauto - allows me to automatically set the URL and setup rules to automatically name the URLs. Works wonderfully.

I've been meaning to do this for a while now, and finally took the hour needed to: - Install Drupal 6.3 - Start the Broadstreet Blog The intention of this blog is to share my experiences in learning to develop content-rich web sites using the Drupal Open Source Content Management System. My only experience blogging so far is with my pizza blog, pizza.wordpress.com, which of course uses WordPress.
