I’m pretty sure thats what it does..just the one line

So that all your incoming links still work,I found this worked for me.

leave a .htaccess file in the now empty original blog folder with this one line.

redirect 301 /blog/ https://www.YOURSITE.com/

Are you sure you’re a net detective? ??

you need to find a trackback link under their article you are discussing. If there isnt a trackback URI on his article then it cant happen.

Take that trackback URI and stick it in your trackback box when you publish.

Then (maybe after moderation) generally a link to your site and a snippet from your article should show under his article on his site.

maybe this article will help…

Call me paranoid but you could have found these all on google, are you watching us?

Blogger blogs get spidered quicker, but don’t get ranked any higher.

There are some SEO things you could do

but although I’m not an expert,I feel you have missed the purpose and the power of the blog, which is the personal interaction and what you really need is to start actually interacting with other relevant blogs.

Using blogging methods such as trackback, comments, blogrolling, submitting your feeds, reading and reacting promptly to others’ feeds…being a little contentious, or amusing, or personal. Getting some multi way conversations going or at least sticking your nose in others’ well attended conversations.

If there arent many detective blogs about, find relevance in non PI blogs or add a personal, amusing (or even say a photoblogging) level to your own. . Enjoy yourself and forget about google, then watch the hits roll in..

(thats the theory anyway, one day i’ll try it myself)

“An .htaccess file is simply a text file containing Apache directives. Those directives apply to the documents in the directory where the .htaccess file is located, and to all subdirectories under it as well. Other .htaccess files in subdirectories may change or nullify the effects of those in parent directories “

I have a root htaccess and a wp htaccess.

funnily enough they all remain blue on my pc.
maybe its your (or my) browser settings.

Pages had stopped showing once I created permalinks.
