Never mind – i found it in capabilities.php

Makes sense but I’m still missing the real thing. I expect that WP is creating some perminent HTML page which contains the URL’s to the blogs. Then it would make sense, since Google can read the links in an HTML document and follow them.

I know that WP is dynamically creating the temporary HTML pages using PHP and mySQL. I’m a programmer and I do this all the time. But, those pages are temporary (unless WP is saving the HTML code before presenting it to the browser) so they aren’t really readable by Google.

wp-login.php contains the code:

$user = new WP_User(0, $user_login);

I’m trying to trace this through but I can’t see where the WB_User object is defined.

But how does the SearchBot know to do this? Most blogs require a login to see blogs.

I do understand that the posts are displayed as HTML. I also thought that they were stored in the MySQL database and that the HTML was being dynamically built. So when a search engine starts looking at HTML, I don’t know how it can see a post that is dynamically built HTML.

I’m sure I’m missing some big concept here and I want to understand it.

Unless I’m wrong that the posts are stored in the MySQL database…if they are actually stored in HTML documents, then it all makes sense.

I keep reading the info but I don’t get it. You say that search engines index everything? What is everything? How can a search engine get into a MySQL database and index articles and things stored in there?
