In reply to: [Webcomic] Does the Yoast SEO plugin work with Webcomic?Other languages is a great idea.
And I had seen your work before I posted here.
Great stuff!

In reply to: [Webcomic] Does the Yoast SEO plugin work with Webcomic?I’m building from the ground up, and establishing a workflow for new work, so I’m trying to create a list of requirements.
So far, the list above works, and I will add the cartoon transcript, also.

In reply to: [Webcomic] Does the Yoast SEO plugin work with Webcomic?A while ago, I found an article about SEO for web comics. It basically says there isn’t a lot you can do, since you’re not writing articles. But it lists a few things that help.
write an seo friendly title tag
write an seo friendly meta description
use a caption (shows up on hover over the image)
use alt descriptions for images
use seo friendly urlsThese are part of a larger list of best SEO practices, but most are for articles, not comics. Even so, I figure I should do what I can, at a minimum.
However, including the transcript seems like it might be helpful, as it provides more for the search engines to scan. One more thing to consider.
What I like about Yoast is the ability to control what shows up in search results.

In reply to: [Webcomic] Does the Yoast SEO plugin work with Webcomic?Thanks Greenlaw!
Are you saying you use the transcript a the source for the copy you enter into Yoast?
Thanks again.

In reply to: [Webcomic] Does the Yoast SEO plugin work with Webcomic?Thanks for getting back to me, Mike! I think I’ll stick with Yoast, since I’ve got a lot of the work done already. I just wanted to be sure it was worth my time.
Thanks again!

In reply to: I did some tinkering, now it doesn’t work, please help!Ok, so my web host informs me that the index.php is already a valid default file.
Here’s the situation. The “view site” link next to the Blog title at my admin page takes me here:
http://www.petertcrowell.com/blog/
But the blog url is actually this:
http://www.petertcrowell.com/blog/index.phpWhen I type the blog url into my browser, or ad /index.php in the browser window after clicking the “View Site” link, I end up at my blog.
When I click the title at the actual blog page (if, for example, I’m on one of my “pages” and want to get back to the main part of the blog) it takes me here:
http://www.petertcrowell.com/blog
What I’d like is for any link that’s supposed to take me to my blog to take me all the way in. But I don’t know how to make that happen. I thought I’d achieve that by changing the blog url in the general options at the admin page, but changing that url just caused a lot of headaches.
Any help?

In reply to: I did some tinkering, now it doesn’t work, please help!HandySolo,
I just saw the tail end of your last post. I think you’re referring to my query about possibly deleting the WP files and starting over with the latest version.
No, I didn’t do that. moshu kept pointing me in the right direction, so my blog is still where it was. It’s just that now it has an index.php that works.

In reply to: I did some tinkering, now it doesn’t work, please help!Thanks, I’ll check with my webhost.
And thanks moshu! Especially for your patience!

In reply to: I did some tinkering, now it doesn’t work, please help!I corrected both values to read petertcrowell.com/blog
That’s where the “view site” button takes me, but then I have to ad /index.php in the browser bar to make it to the blog page.
Any ideas?

In reply to: I did some tinkering, now it doesn’t work, please help!Ok, I created a new index.php with the contents you gave me, uploaded it and presto, all is well. Now I’m back to my original puzzle, which gave rise to all this:
How do I get my admin “view site” link to take me to the site without putting /index.php in the site url option?

In reply to: I did some tinkering, now it doesn’t work, please help!This is the text from the index.php file:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd”>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″>
<title>Blog Temporary Home</title>
</head><body>
</body>
</html>Is that the file I need?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: I did some tinkering, now it doesn’t work, please help!What if I just take out my current WP and completely reinstall the latest version? I don’t have any posts or data I can’t live without, since I’ve hardly used the blog until now.
It might be easier. Any reason not to?

In reply to: I did some tinkering, now it doesn’t work, please help!My web guy had put a file in called index.html. I changed that to index.php. Now, when I click to view the site from my admin pages, I get a page called Blog Temporary Home. So, I removed the index.php and, following your instructions, I uploaded the page in my WP files called index.php (which I found in the wp-admin folder). Still, I get the same blank page titled Blog Temporary Home.
Any suggestions?
