    What we can do here to show what this is doing with our records is to show here the total blog posts you have and then your latest record number for the last blog you made. Mine is at:

    Blog Posts: 2,506
    Last Blog ID: 13,577

    I’m just starting out with WordPress, Love it btw, but found the auto-save is a big waste of space — as many have noted. I have already entered in almost 2,300 blog entries in the last few months and already I have a database with over 13,000 records!! At the end, when I get the blog fully going with over 6,000 blog entries, I can picture the database to have way more than 33,000 wasted entries just setting there in the database wasting space.

    There should be more options given on how to manage the auto-save or at least give the option to manually delete outdated auto-saved records.

    <link href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
    <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> RSS Feed” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” />
    <link rel=”shortcut icon” type=”image/x-png” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/favicon.png” />
    <link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />
    <?php wp_head(); ?>

    Yes, that code should be ok.

    All I know is that after running into this issue and then doing a simple Google search, I found this to be a very common problem with WordPress users. Google simply would not index their sites. What I was finding very odd was that the google bots were hitting my site like crazy but nothing was happening. Once I removed the line:

    <?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&format=link’); ?>

    Google instantly added my site. One interesting note as well, I have a test site still up and Google still has not indexed that site. So I have two sites. One that has the above line: No Index (3 months old), and the second main site which I removed the above line and Google is now indexing.

    At the end it makes a lot of since. As I put in my last post, I just could get what was going on. Then I thought about how WordPress was working and thought maybe, just maybe it had a lot of unneeded code in the <head> area. Sure enough when I looked at my code, there it was: all my links to all my archives in the header area. So as I was guessing, google was in a simple loop. Checking the links in the header and NEVER making it to the main page because of the links in the header which seemed to be putting google into a loop. Again, look at the stats in my last message. google was hitting my site hard. Now my site is up and going. Being index and the sitemap.xml entries show that they all have been checked. (showing before that it found the file, but was still checking them).

    So there it is.

    I was having problems with google myself, and found the answer:

    I had a problem with Google not indexing my site as well. Was crawling like mad, but nothing was being index. Well, found the answer to have Google index my site within seconds:

    When looking at your site, it looks like you may have the same problem I was having. I posted my fix to the problem to have google index my site within seconds:

    I was having the same problem with Google not Indexing my site, then found the answer to have Google index my site in seconds after the fix. I wrote up something on the issue:
