Started the day by writing a 1500 word optimized article to drive traffic to www.onecommunityranch.com, checked on when it would be done migrating ( 7-10 days :( ) and then I updated all the links on all 50 pages of the site, redid all the links on the brochure, re-uploaded it, recreated my sitemap and uploaded it, optimized and edited these three pages:
http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Community-Contribution.html
http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Sustainable-Community-Planning-Model.html
http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Sustainable-World.html
and e-mailed Alanis Morissette and Tina Malia to request the use of their songs.
Put a few finishing touches on www.JaeSabol.com (http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Jae-Sabol.html) too.
I'll be with Hakan tomorrow and then at a sales class Friday-Sunday with a bunch of old friends so likely no blogging until Monday unless I'm feeling spry after my class ends around 11PM each night.

14 hrs yesterday... 12 today...
Wrote, edited and optimized 6 more pages yesterday. Spent a lot of time fixing the rename issue... which can't be completely finished until the site is done migrating to the new host... had hoped that would happen today but it can take upto 5 days.
Finished www.JaeSabol.com today which is actually (currently) http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Jae-Sabol.html
I also figured out how to mask pages so my various domains can be pointed to different pages and retain their names.
Pretty exhausted from two days of a lot of redoing of stuff I've already done and waiting for the site to finish migrating...
Scheduled myself for a sales class this weekend (Fri-Sun) that is with a lot of old friends and people that will be interested in this project...
Signing off and going to bed....

Site Restored!... sort of....
Ok, got the site back up but all the page names have changed... part of what caused the problem in the first place.
With the site migration I was going to have to change all the page names anyway, about a good day's worth of work, but worth it because of the benefits for indexing the site and getting noticed on Google.
Put together two more pages with music and will be requesting permission from the artists tomorrow.
Rebuilding my site map now...

CRASH!
So I completely lost my web presence today.... and my site, which I'm waiting to see if I can recover it right now... waiting for a copied portion to upload to mobile me and see if it works or not... VERY scary. I'm looking at somewhere around 500 hours of work.
Started getting publishing errors and I couldn't correct them. Restarted computer, rebooted iWeb many times, then I created a new site to see if that would publish and unwittingly published it OVER my old site on-line... completely wiping out what was there before!
Now I'm transferring one page at a time over to this new site and attempting to publish that... which seems to be happening except... it's not finishing the process... yet... seems frozen.
Spent all day updating all my links and transferring the site to a new server... good news is it is stored there as of about 2 PM today... bad news is I've been working on it all day... sooooo I shouldn't have any possibility of losing the 500 hours... just the 8 from today.
Crossing my fingers.
Gotta walk away from the computer and breathe...
All things for a reason.

1/15/2011 - New web host needed...
Spent the last two days with my son and woke up this morning realizing I need a new website host. Google, for whatever reason, is not crawling my site and it looks like it is a mobile me problem. Changing hosts is going to take me HOURS of rewriting all my links; boring and tedious work. Hoping to complete this all today.
Drawing up spreadsheets first.

1/12/11 Editing and SEOing top three site pages...
Two clients this morning so I only logged 13 hours. Started the day by realizing my header tags hidden behind pictures were showing up in a font so large it spilled out and looked horrible. Took 2 hours to fix on all the pages but I consider that a gift as I'd found something that said italicized and bolded words may get preferential treatment viewing by browser bots... so it gave me an opportunity to bold all those too.
Next I edited the top three pages of the site:
http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Why_Now.html
http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/What_Is_It.html
http://www.onecommunityranch.com/OneCommunity/Join_Us.html
"Editing" means I researched key words, added meta tags, added title tags, added image tags, and rewrote the whole thing. End result is outstanding in my opinion and I feel really good about it. Sent them off to Nanice.

Tuesday with my son
Tuesdays are with my son. Today we went to Griffith park and spent the day at the playground, mixing and matching parts on his animal morphs, and enjoying nature. Good Times :) Back at it tomorrow.
