Ensuring that search engines discover your latest blog entry involves a few steps:
1. Submit Your Sitemap: Create an XML sitemap of your blog, listing all the URLs, and submit it to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. This helps search engines understand your site structure and crawl it efficiently.
2. Internal Linking: Link to your new blog post from other relevant pages on your site. This helps search engine crawlers find the new content while they navigate through your site.
3. Social Media Sharing: Share your new blog post on social media platforms (facebook, instagram, tumblr, pinterest, whatsapp, etc ...). While this doesn't directly influence search engine crawls, it can attract users to your site, increasing the likelihood of search engine discovery.
4. Ping Services: Some services, like Ping-O-Matic, can notify search engines and blog directories about your new content. This can prompt them to crawl your site sooner.
5. Quality Content and SEO: Ensure your blog posts are well-optimized for search engines with relevant keywords, descriptive meta tags, and proper headings. High-quality content tends to get indexed and ranked faster.
However, keep in mind that search engines have their algorithms for crawling and indexing content, so there's no guaranteed way to enforce their crawl. It may take some time for them to discover and index your new content naturally.
Ping-O-Matic is a service that notifies multiple search engines and blog directories about updates to your website. It's been a popular tool among bloggers for many years. However, it appears that their blog hasn't been updated since 2015, which may raise concerns.
While the digital age has given opportunities for artists (digital or traditional) to showcase their work on the internet, a less discussed but equally significant consequence emerges – the economic challenges faced by artists relying on commissioned work. The proliferation of AI-driven tools and user-friendly platforms threatens to reshape the traditional market for personalized art, impacting the livelihoods of artists who thrive on commissions.
Many artists (hobbyists or professional) could earn a living through commissioned work, or add some revenue to their main income, by producing commissioned artworks (such as caricatures, portraits, or comic pages), but that was before 2022 as this market is being eroded by the accessibility of AI-powered tools.
Competing with AI tools is unfair, they are fast, produce relatively good quality artwork in matter of minutes, this is leaving artists potentially undervalued for their time and expertise. The customer could get dozen of possible artworks version in less than an hour, and if he has the assistance of a prompt engineer or a person skilled in Stable Diffusion (or midjourney), it is just a matter of retouching the best result they have selected in the end. Most AI artwork are public domain.
There are tensions between artists and AI companies, because of the ease of producing AI-generated art quickly and the fact that the database (the checkpoint model) used to generate art is a mix of 'plundered' artwork produced by humans, some from past public domain source, or taken without permission.
Sure the unique, personalized touch that human artists bring to their creations is something that AI is not able to bring to the table, but many customers previously taking commissions are not art literate and will not perceive the difference.
Because some many AI generated images have flooded tumblr, facebook, pinterest, etc ... these new images being mixed with the real work of artists and hobbyist (trying to make a living) has impacted their visibility, client acquisition, and overall market presence.
The artists who manage to learn AI skills have successfully navigated this changing landscape by adapting their skills or finding innovative ways to collaborate with AI tools. And are now a lot more efficient, and produce more and with a keen professional eye.
While many others are struggling. Except for the renowned, recognized one.
The hope is that the future will empower artists to remain competitive while preserving the value of their craft in the face of technological disruption. The hope is that art communities are coming together to support one another, sharing insights, and fostering a sense of solidarity amid industry changes.
As the commissioned art market undergoes a transformation fueled by AI and automation, the economic realities for many artists become increasingly complex. Navigating this landscape requires a delicate balance between adapting to technological shifts and preserving the intrinsic value of personalized, handcrafted art. Artists and the broader creative community must engage in conversations, advocacy, and innovative solutions to ensure the sustainability of artistic livelihoods in the face of evolving digital landscapes.
Have you ever found yourself staring at a photo, completely stumped about who's in it? Yeah, me too.
This has been going on for months, scratching my head over who could be that cosplayer, and I posted a few articles using this picture, hoping someday to find a match in google lens.
Enter the hero of this story, an online gentleman by the name of cliffordpadraig, who had the answer!
With a keen eye he identified the person in the photo as none other than the fabulous Fabibi World cosplay!
The mystery of the "unkown Cammy Bison cosplayer" photo was solved, and it was all thanks to this amazing individual.
Online small act of kindness have big impact.
It not only cleared up my confusion but also reminded me of the power of online communities.
Here was the picture:
Fabibi, the Chilean cosplay phenomenon, has graced stages at conventions worldwide, dazzling audiences with her diverse costume creations. Cammy White in her various flavor (Classic Cammy, Killer bee Cammy, and Bison Cammy).

Once again, thank you very much, good Sir!
This blog you are reading now has been online for 16 years!
To be exact that is 5870 days
It was created back in Oct 3, 2007☝
Nobody has a family setting up a blog for each member, and typing their life experience, and exchanging there - because it is not a forum.
Try googling content from blogger.com or blogspot.com
using a syntax like 'keyword -site:blogspot.com' and see what is coming up
Remember google wave, google plus ...
Feels like blogger is about to go down - that is just a feeling, but let's just say
that most of the blogger.com content is either spam, or plain crap
"How much money do you directly make by having x followers on your facebook page?"
"I am the internet! Apple fan, Youtuber, technology lover and avid twitter! Be my friend!"
