SEO Improvements

Thursday, 15 December 2005

We are doing a lot of research and Lipped Media is undergoing SEO improvements. Everything starts with Kiss Me, Stace, and then moves on to other blogs, where needed, especially if things work out well.

One thing to go is the long blogrolls and category lists, but they can be found in length on sub-pages. This is according to Google’s guidelines, although, hello, they need to make a separate guideline page for blogs. Blogs having fewer than 100 links per page? it’s not possible. The saddest thing to go is the calendar(s). I love those little stamps of achievement! but there are, on average, 20 links right there! I did read that they don’t do sites any good, although I can’t recollect if I read why. I’ll need to search for that.

What I really need to work on is making new changes to the test site first, but oh my, I’m lazy! Word Press is a picky sucker with its code.

The good news is that now, Kiss Me, Stace does look a lot more streamlined. Check for us to rise on the search engines! (Knock on plastic.)

*UPDATE* Another source seems to read that the limit is on outgoing links, so I added the calendar back, and I am quite happy about it!

Miss Cinnamon Joins The Spotlight

Wednesday, 14 December 2005

Miss Cinnamon has joined The Spotlight and has been posting! She made a keen observation on Nicole Ritchie, and ratted out homewrecker Angelina Jolie for her indiscretions.

Good job.

The Spotlight is Posting!

Friday, 09 December 2005

The Spotlight is being posted to, again. Check out the “Make Up” Post that announces the reopening. We’re still securing bloggers, and it may be a little while before we’re all situated, but there’s a lot of interest and motivation!

Two New Blogs Hiring

Wednesday, 07 December 2005

In examination of what works here in the stylish blogosphere, I’ve fashioned two new blog ideas that I know will be great additions. We’re taking applications, now!

An “Accessories/Jewelry Blog” - A blog with high end jewelry, costume accessories, watches, key fobs; anything to decorate the body, the bag or personal items.

You’re never fully dressed without the perfect accessories

— [Positions open: 2 - 4] (Bloggers will receive perks of free accessories.)

Sharp Byte - A tech style & gadget accessories blog
You know that the most popular niches of blogs are fashion and tech? Well, put your handbag and your palm pilot together!

Breathless and The Spotlight NOT to Close

Wednesday, 07 December 2005

Call me as finicky as I am with my new purses. Call me as desiring & drooly as I am with them, too. But when I saw some evidence that the public wants The Spotlight and Breathless to stay open, I had to rethink.

First up was to secure bloggers in position, I’m almost finished with that already. What can I say?! I’m a quick worker and we have a desirable little work environment, here! (Maybe I brag too much.)

But also important is to have a better monetary game plan for The Spotlight, so we’re re-tooling the content. It will actually be a lot more in tune with my original hopes (except as pure blog, unlike the original gallery, if you recall). Beyond that, it will be more like a regular fashion blog, with fashion suggestions to replace the poor decisions celebs make. Still want snark? Duh! I know you piggies love the dirt, that will be around, too. It does help the popularity, and I’m a hog.

I will introduce you to the bloggers once we have them all officially posting. As for the drop-outs, we have a plan in place: Every new blogger must undergo a trial period of one month. Fool proof, because I rock like that.

Good luck to us and stay logged for the re-starts!
