So I recently discovered that my site had dropped for PageRank 5 to a PageRank 3. I looked into it, and I still have lots of links coming to my site. It appears that I was penalized by Google, and it seems to be because I had some paid links on my homepage. So, I decided to add rel="nofollow" to the links. The only problem is that when you try to do this with the Blogroll editor in WordPress, there is no nofollow option. So I had to add one.

If you wish to do the same, it's quite easy. Just find the /wp-admin/edit-link-form.php file, create a backup copy of it, and modify it. Look for lines 113 and 114, which should look like:

And add this code before it:

You'll now be able to edit your blogroll links and add rel="nofollow" to any you wish.

OK, so one of you awesome students requested "Flash Hero" as a flash game on my site. Ive never played it before, but it looks cool, so I'll go ahead and add it.

Looks like my site was down for a couple of hours today. I apologize for the loss of any gaming time you may have experienced! It seems the site is getting to popular, and it was using too many hosting resources. I've implemented a caching plugin, so hopefully that fixes the issue.

I also apologize for the lack of posting in the last few days. I guess I really just don't know where to go with this blog. I don't know what sorts of new content people want to see and read. Do you just want me to keep posting games?

As most of you know from all of the programming tips on this website, I like to share knowledge. And I do get thousands of programmers on the website every single month looking for solutions to coding problems. However, the majority of my visitors are all you high school students, coming to my site to better your hand-eye coordination through my flash games.

Well, I had an idea to make this site not a complete waste of time (just a partial waste). I thought, maybe you're spending so much time on my site, that you're not dedicating enough time to schoolwork. And maybe it's affecting your grades…

So, I've decided to at least offer my assistance with your schoolwork and homework. I did well in school, so I know that I could at least provide some of you with some answers. I'm not totally sure how it will work, maybe you'll just post your question/problem in a comment below, and I'll answer the ones I can in a new post.

Make sense? Do you think it's a good idea? I need your feedback!

Yes, I know, it's lame, but until today I've never posted even one video on Youtube. It's not that I didn't know how, or was scared to or anything, I just didn't need to. And I suppose I still technically don't need to, but I'd like to start experimenting with Universal Search, and the embedding of video clips into search results.

By the way - I apologize for my shoddy appearance this morning. It's early, I'm tired, and I haven't really given much attention to my hair. Oh, and the shakiness of the camera is due to the fact that my MacBook is suspended on a bowl to get it to the right height!

So, here's the product of my very first video recording:
