Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
On the one hand I’m sad because my name is so common I’ll never be able to own it as a domain, but on the other hand employers googling me have no chance of finding my escapades 😅
That’s a good point! I actually got mine so I could “win” google. Kind of want to know what your escapades are now!
Just checked with duckduckgo and I seem to have lost SEO to an inactive profile on blogspot of all places, which is super weird!
Nothing that would stand out in a crowd of teenage escapades, and luckily prior to smart phone cameras. To my knowledge there isn’t anything online that an employer might worry about, but it’s nice to know they couldn’t find it even if they wanted to.
I guess the next thing to worry about is if someone with the same name commits a horrible crime.
I guess blogspot’s ranking may give a boost to the blogs they host. For my private stuff (i.e. everything except lemmy stuff), I don’t even have anything at the root domain. Everything is on a subdomain, because I’m not trying to drive traffic to it an in fact want the opposite.
