Do your page titles properly reflect the content of the page?
Just to quickly make sense of what I am going to say, open an article in your site and see what it says in the top of the browser bar. If it doesn’t show the article title within the first 10 to 60 characters, you have got a duff title. (10 to 60 characters in […]
How do bloggers see their own blog?
The Pisstakers is a tongue-in-cheek site, to put it mildly, so sometimes, I have to post serious stuff here in order to be taken seriously! I wanted to come up with a format that illustrates how different bloggers see their own blogs, (that is the serious objective) and enjoy bloggers’ quickfire and/or witty answers to […]
