It’s about 12:10 a.m. Monday morning over here down under. I finished doing about 6 hours of study today. Exams are coming up this week. God, I can’t wait to finish Physics and Chemistry. It only hit me last night that my Computation exam is next week as well. Scary stuff.

I’m no good with code. I just don’t get the logic behind it. Oh the language I’m learning is C, by the way for those of you who are software engineers/computer scientists.

But speaking of code, I ended up playing with meta tags for the first time ever. I was sort of apprehensive; let me fill you in on my coding experience.

I was first exposed to programming back in Year 9 when I did a subject called Programming & Hardware. I was working in HTML, a relatively simple code used to code the Internet, basically. I sucked at it. I then used Microworlds to design a very simple game. I sucked at that  too. I’m pretty sure I ended up copying my mates in the  test.

Fast forward to now. I’m doing a major in Engineering Systems and struggling with C. So you can understand why I’m so apprehensive with code. I looked it up in Google, “how to change meta tags in wordpress”, or something along those lines.

It actually wasn’t that hard. I changed it for three of the blogs that I’m currently active on at the moment. I’m assuming it wasn’t that hard; I’ve yet to see the results and see whether my meta description comes up nicely on Google or not.

I was pleasantly surprised that one of the main fitness niches I was focusing on which I ran on a WordPress hosted blog, was updated today, just a few hours after I’d added a new post to it. Well, maybe not a few hours, but within 24 hours. I mean, it had shifted down a few spots for the keyword I had it ranking for, but that didn’t bother me.

That could have been due to the fact that I went to Google Webmaster Tools and added the site map, also verifying it today. I installed a WordPress plugin that made a sitemap that was compatible with Google so that was fine, but getting on good terms with Google and having the spiders crawl my blog was the important thing.

I’ll chuck up a post soon on ways you can get your WordPress hosted blog up and getting crawled very quickly. With tools that are freely available to anyone, of course.
