Hosting for the BrakeBlog was coming up for renewal at the same time I bought ericbrake.com. I debated whether to buy the dot com TLD. To GoDaddy’s benefit, they want you to believe that you must buy every TLD variation of your website. However, I didn’t want to fall into that trap of impulse buying. So I didn’t impulse buy, I’ve probably been thinking about buying the dot com for a month. Right now, ericbrake.com is just a redirect to the dot ws domain. I may use it separately later.

New Meta description?
Posted by – April 20, 2008
I use the Google Webmaster Tools to keep tabs on what Google is saying about the BrakeBlog as well as if there is anyone else linking to me. One of the things GWT tells me is that my meta description is too short. Right now it reads “All things are possible in Linux”. I’m thinking along the lines of a longer description like this.
I live in Hopkinsville, KY. I am passionate about Linux && { Free || Open || Libre }; Software.
A few things about this description are the keywords included like Hopkinsville KY, Linux, and software. The expression Linux && { Free || Open || Libre }; is a shell statement that means “Linux AND { Free OR Open OR Libre };”.
Edit: Darn it! WordPress won’t let me use all of the fancy ampersands and braces. I’ll have to settle for something less ambitious.
