This post isn't big or clever, and certainly isn't interesting.
Nope, I'm not joking; it's really very dull.

I'm trying to make this thing a bit more searchable and integrated and other words that make it sound like I know what I'm doing.
If you had Googled the word `versive` 3 days ago then I would have come up on the third page - considering the obscurity of the word versive (not actually recognised by Merriam Webster or Dictionary.com ) that's hardly a great result, and there were two pages of results between me and the top - seemingly the medical profession at least, among others, thinks that the word is real

First thing I did, I allowed RSS feed shenanigans onto the page in the hope that it did something more than add a splash of colour. I didn't even know what the hell RSS was, or what the bloody hell those little orange boxes on news pages and homepages actually were before yesterday.

***In case anyone else was ever wondering about it too: The RSS thing is basically a way of amalgamating updates from different websites into one place, eg:
~ new blog posts from blogs you regularly read,
~ news stories about topics of your choice from your favourite news sites,
~ product updates from sites dealing with your favourite industry,
~ virus alerts from your antivirus company, video game updates, etc.
all of them together, all without having to look for them idividually. You need an RSS reader (downlaod any one of dozens for free, just search for `RSS` and then you just add what you want and remove it as needed. Now I come to explain it it's actually a really great idea if you tend to browse similar parts of the web, and would like to save a bit of time.***

The only other thing I have done so far is to add Versive to Facebook, simply by putting in the address of this page as My Website on my profile and, lo and behold, this now comes up as only the 8th result, and is therefore on the first page of google!

Whether this is a genuine improvement (and it would only be so because of the Facebook linkage at the moment, the way Google works is mostly by favouring sites that are linked to and from popular sites) or merely thanks to quirks of the notoriously byzantine Google machine, but to me it’s all good – no-one is going to stumble across this thanks to the name, but at least now if I’m out and about and I can’t remember the precise address (or more likely, no-one can be arsed to write it down) then it can be easily found.
Go me.

The other thing was my, probably fatefully, daring to try the Google AdSense program – I signed up for it and still I don’t know how it works – and, pending their approval (I hope they don’t actually read this rubbish) then I might get started in a day or two. I hope to buggery that it starts to make sense for me and I have no expectations of making any serious money, not until I take over the internet and crown myself ruler of all geeks, anyway.
I’d probably have to give the crown back, actually. If I can’t instantly grasp how an online ad program works (or recite at least 3 episodes of a SciFi series word-for-word) then I can’t truly be a geek.

So maybe it’ll be `out there` a little more as a result, and if I can make a few pounds every month (and it’ll take a massive rise in popularity and large numbers of people using ads to get that much) then it might at least cover my photobucket and blog.co.uk pro-member subscription, which amount to about as much and would be best counteracted by something such as this.

Anyway I said it wasn’t at all interesting, I’m really just thinking out loud, or leaving myself a note so in the future I can read back through this and realise how very wrong I probably was/am/will have going to be*.
