The WordTickler Libraries
Public and Private Galleries and Blogs
Any member may have his or her own Blogs and/or Galleries. All one needs do is send me a private message. In your message, please indicate which of these forums you desire:- Public Blog (visible to the entire internet, search engine spiders included)
- Public Gallery (visible to the entire internet, search engine spiders included)
- Private Blog (visible only to members of The WordTickler Libraries)
- Private Gallery (visible only to members of The WordTickler Libraries)
I'll be happy to create any or all of them for you. You will become the moderator of your own Blogs and/or Galleries, able to add content, manage comments and move things around as you see fit. For instance, you may wish to move a work from your Private Gallery to the Public Gallery for a "viewing" you wish to give a prospective buyer. Conversely, you may wish to move something from your Public Gallery to your Private Gallery because it has recently been submitted to a publisher who requires it be removed from the public eye. Whatever the reason, you will have complete control of your Blogs' and Galleries' content and comments.
As you can see at the top of every page on this web site, you now have the ability to use RSS and Atom Syndication with your Blog or Gallery. If your Blog or Gallery is picked up by a search engine spider, it will only be visible to the Internet if it is a Public Blog or Gallery.
Private Blogs and Galleries will not be accessible by search engines as they will not be able to access the RSS/Atom Syndication URL since it is directly linked to the viewer's ability to access the forums. Even if someone publishes the RSS/Atom Syndication URL for your Private Blog or Gallery, it will still not be accessible by non-members (search engines included). However, Private Blogs and Galleries that are syndicated via RSS or Atom are visible to bona fide members of The WordTickler Libraries.
My Best,
