Blog Value

Stowe Boyd grumbles about blog value at Get Real.  I’m with him.  The calc for Sandhill yields two results depending on whether I use http://sandhill.typepad.com/ or the http://sandhill.typepad.com/sandhill_trek/

Naturally, it was my inclination to add those values together.  I occasionally have to ping from sandhill.typepad.com when I think I’ve written something just jeepers-swell.  That’s another aspect of whatever it is that typepad is doing to make me schizo-bloggic.

Let me put that another way.  If somebody links to me in a blogroll that shows last update stx and they use the sandhill.typepad.com address, then my updates will not show up in their blogroll unless I run a manual ping when I post.

Real techies probably have this all figured out and just add a line to their code somewhere.  Not me… I’m a do-it-the-hard-way kind of guy.

[Disclosure:  the combined value of the sandhill addresses is worth about half of Get Real.]
