AppLoop: Make An iPhone App From Your Blog
Oct 20th
AppLoop has launched a new BETA service that lets you make an iPhone app out of your blogs RSS feed. This is pretty awesome stuff.
Essentially AppLoop does all the behind the scenes stuff (you know code and programming). All you do is set up a free account and submit your RSS feed. I submitted my veg blog and hopefully it gets approved.
I’ll charge .99 for my app. How super cool would that be.
What do you think, will you submit your RSS feed?
Google Webmaster Tools And Robots.txt
Oct 18th
Do you use Google Webmaster Tools? The free service from Google to help webmasters make their sites more Google friendly.
I have been thinking of Google Webmaster Tools lately as JR from Internet Marketing Strategies) has written a fabulous article covering the tool. He describes the 6 tabs on the tool one by one and covers some tips on why and how to use GWT.
As i mentioned to JR every time i read a new article on GWT, i learn something new. I wouldn’t necessarily describe GWT as super advanced, but it isn’t exactly child’s play either. Some level of webmastering is required.
I want to get to the bottom of one thing within GWT: robot.txt
The what, who, when, why, and how? Feel free to share your tips and experiences below. When i go to Google Webmaster Tools, i notice a few things in the overview section. (see screenshot below)
It seems this blog has 19 not found URL’s and 2 URL’s restricted by robots.txt
What does this mean? How do i fix it? Feel free to weigh in below in comments.
