I know a lot of you who are new or old guests on my blogs, might notice that my blog's title is different with my URL.
Title: Mixed Blogs 2010
URL: http://iloveblogging-increasetraffic.blogspot.com
To answer that, let me just go back just a little in time.
Way back in 2010, i started joining blogger because I got curious and hubby strikes on me. For those, who doesnt know me, by profession, I am inclined to legal matters and politics. That's why if you noticed, most of my posts pertains to personal view about some hot topics in the metro, more politically inclined. But, boredom and versatility strikes on me, that I decided to write other things which excites or interests me. CIRCUMSTANCES DO CHANGE NOT PEOPLE. When it happens, boredom will hit you hard up to a point where your unable to make something out of something. If you know what I know. (Hoping) So I stopped blogging for a while and employment opportunity knocks on me. So i joined the labor force for two years without extra minute to spare and opened my blog. Abandonement sets in. Up until I surf the net one day and came across an interesting blog post. That blog gave me light, an inspiration to write again.
Enough with the story, answer the question! :)
Present time: As I log back, I was amazed to see how many have visited and as to what posts they have been interested into. So I decided to clean it up, make more personal. Since I've different topics, I decided to change my blog name into Mixed Blogs 2010 instead of iloveblogging. Without thinking much of the consequence, when ahead to Setting and changed it. It was successful though since I'm seeing the title on the URL. Not thinking much about technically matters. Then, went to Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools. Added the new URL, verification process and other techy matters. But then I noticed, that Im not receiving any datas on the new URL and the old one. I kept thingking what went wrong and read the guidelines on Google. Honestly, I was having a hard time figuring out everything and what should I do because some of the pages on my blogs and giving me 404 errors. And when I tried to add sitemap to my new URL, which I got from xml-sitemap.org, test it on Google Webmaster Tool, failed and give me an HTML error. And it is not giving me any stats for traffic or any data at since I did the change. By the way, as per research, the best sitemap is from xml-sitemap.org, it won't post any problems as long as there's no issue on your blogs end like in my case. For two days, I kept on reading and testing but to no avail, failed again. For awhile, I distract myself with other interesting topics.
So I thought hard, ( LOL! ), when did the problem occured? What did I do? Those questions played on my head. Told myself, why not bring it back to its previous status quo!
And I did, which I believe though, not 100% sure, that it resolved my dilemma. I change it back to my old URL and viola, webmaster tool automatically gave me the button to resubmit my sitemap. Success!
By the way, I'd like to share to you the error on my webmaster tool page. Sorry though, I wasn't able to get a photo at the initial issue, this is after I made the change.
After clicking the resubmit button, no errors were found. Delighted and relief. This is why I opted for legal since I hate technical matters, funny but I previously work before in a company dealing with both technical and general matters. :)
Anyway, guys, if you're an A student on this matter, feel free to comment and make a suggestion about what I did and if there's any missing link which I didn't notice or failed to do, please let me know, because I'm really not familiar with it. Still learning. If you have any suggestions, please do comment away, I would highly appreciate it. Sorry for the long story, i like beating around the bush. Guilty! O_o
