 * Hello Everyone,
 * The name’s Nate. I’m 22 and I’ve recently started a blog so lamely titled [“Project Nothing!”.](http://www.projectnothing.com)
   I’m not sure why I chose that particular name, but I will be opining about recent
   scientific developments, politics, cosmology, pop culture, and my personal favorite,
   fitness.
 * Please stop by and do leave me a comment. It’s encouraging to me. If you like
   what you see, send me an e-mail and I will be sure to check out your own personal
   site as well. Thanks a lot guys, and happy blogging.
 * -Nate

 * I enjoyed my browse and read. Limiting posts per page to 5-10 would be a good
   idea. Many people will be turned off by a five mile long page with 20 posts on
   it.

 * Thanks for your reply.
 * Yeah, I know… I’ve thought about it. The thing is, I hate to make so many posts
   and see them go off of the front page so fast. Is there anyway I can link post
   titles in the sidebar or something?

   ALREADY!” Call me an a-hole! Something!

 * Things are going well. Still frustratingly un-indexed by you know who.

 * Have you tried to send your site to Yahoo or MSN instead? It might help you to
   get indexed by Google. Don’t forget to update your Google Sitemap and if you 
   can, get your blog indexed by DMOZ.

 * I am indexed by Yahoo and MSN. What’s Dmoz, and how can I update my Google Sitemap?
 * Thank you (I’m a rookie so I apologize if my questions are silly)

 * DMOZ is the largest site directory edited by human. You could visit them at [http://dmoz.org/](http://dmoz.org/)
 * And for Google Sitemap, I think there’s a plugin for it. I forgot the address
   but you can find it easily on the forum I think.

 * When I had my ecommerce site going, I waited for 9 months to not get my site 
   listed into DMOZ, that is one of the hard ones I think, but of course I could
   be wrong.

 * Thank you. I have installed a Sitemap plugin, but I’m not sure I understand where
   to go from here…any help would be great.
 * Also, if someone could help me place my meta tags, that would be great, too.
 * Thanks again.

 * Did anyone ever answer your question about how to put post titles in your sidebar?
   Your site is still downloading for me (I’m on dialup, ick!), so if you have a
   sidebar, I don’t see it yet, and therefore can’t see if you’ve added post titles.
   Looks great so far, though. 🙂
 * This is the code I have in my sidebar to call for recent posts (just the titles):
 * `<?php
    $today = current_time('mysql', 1); if ( $recentposts = $wpdb->get_results("
   SELECT ID, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_date_gmt
   < '$today' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 5")): ?>
 * `<?php
    foreach ($recentposts as $post) { if ($post->post_title == '') $post-
   >post_title = sprintf(__('Post #%s'), $post->ID); echo "<li class='sidebar'><
   a href='?p=$post->ID'>"; the_title(); echo '</a></li>'; } ?>
 * And where you see “DESC LIMIT 5” you can change the 5 to however many number 
   of post titles you want.

 * No, I don’t. And thanks! I managed to figure out the sitemap thing and I submitted
   it to Google. They accepted it! So that’s a good first step. Now I need to work
   on the meta-tag and getting my site validated.
 * The latter I’ll probably need some help with..

 * As for the meta tag, usually I put it on my header.php files via WordPress admin.

 * Right, right.
 * Do I put it…
 * <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive
   <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>
 * **HERE?**
 * <meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(‘version’); ?>” /> <!–
   leave this for stats –>
 * <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/
   css” media=”screen” />
