Some minimal changes to my online presence

I dropped Anisha off to her aunties house after work tonight. She is going to the flower show on Friday. She has organised to get the day off work to attend.

This evening I made a few changes to nztechie.com and my blog. Firstly, I'm planning to re brand my blog so that it effectively fits under the nztechie.com brand. This will be achieved by two methods. Firstly, I have requested my hosting company to create a CNAME record to point to Googles DNS server so that a new sub domain of blog.nztechie.com will be redirected to Googles servers.

There is always the opportunity to host on my own server if I ever wished to. With 300 gigabytes of storage on my host, I'm not going to run out of space very quickly. In fact, the indicator on my websites configuration has been steady at 1% of storage usage for the last three years!

Secondly, I have rebranded the blog so it displays an image for the title, displaying NZTECHIE.COM - BLOG. This looks a bit cleaner, but there is a little concern that I might be penalised in googles search results for removing some of the title text.

Thirdly, I added the capability to subscribe to my blogs RSS feed to my main website. After a little bit of work, and one line of easy text, visitors can now subscribe to the blogs RSS feed in one click. RSS length has also been changed from full to short in my Blogger preferences. I also helped Nanar Tan set up a blog for herself on Blogger.
