dear Dogs on Trucks jr.

hello! mighty fine weather we are having, don't you think?
I have a robot question for you.

Please tell me how to train my robots so they will deliver relevant content to my readers.

right now all they are delivering is generic stuff that makes me look like some fool who does not care about relevant content.

I keep trying to tell them to serve some ads about "conservation", "global warming", "alternative energy", "ethical mining" etc. but they are still not getting it.

Can you give me some suggestions?

Thanks!

Dear Henrietta,

Try to be patient with your robots. It's not their fault that they are binary.

Keep using your target words whenever you get a good opportunity to do so. And don't forget to tag your posts! In the bad old days of the Internet, tagging your text was a no-no. The Big Dogs of the Internet said that that was called Keyword Stuffing, and they considered it spam.

Now, thank goodness, tagging your text is legal, so little dogs like us can get our message to the public without having to grovel and perform demeaning information architecture gymnastics to make our content look like their context.

However, if you do all this and you don't see any good results within a few days or so, it may be time to put your bots into deep hibernation.

Hope this helps you in your vague quest for information, Henrietta. Have a great day and stay curious!

wal-mart movie at the middle school last night

hi folks

just wanted to let you know that the wal-mart movie showing last night went extremely well. the (old) middle school auditorium was nearly full. I believe this means there were 200 - 300 people there.

Don and Margaret did a wonderful job with this event. it was very pleasant and nice to see so many friends and acquaintances.

go spend some money at Margaret's store, if you are in the mood for some gift buying. Margaret is a great lady and she has contributed an awful lot to the conservation of culture not only in the NRV, but all over the world.

this movie really opened my eyes to the general ickiness of wal-mart...

so, I am in a big hurry right now and do not have time to write much but if you are interested in the opposite of Sprawl, please stay tuned to the Let Me Help You Shop network and I will spin you as much good content as I can.

IF you happen to be in Floyd right now, or will be there later, why not stop by the Jacksonville Center? there will be a straw bale studio raising there later. oops. I mean now. see what I mean about being late? ok bye...

hope you all are well. please spend all your money very thriftily, don't get scammed. Thank you for shopping at Let Me Help You Shop.

--Suzy

ps I will be hanging an oil painting at the sustainablity show called will you please tell the mycelium I said hi
also I am in the process of finishing a sculpture called mea culpa La Nantoka
this is a sumi ink painting on a wood panel. color is a sort of hybrid deer/rattlesnake camouflage.

hi folks

hope you are all doing well
today I am trying to get some sitecleaning done

it is a cold day here, but beautiful

if you are brand-new to this site, and to the ideapark.org community, welcome.
if you are a returning visitor, tadai-ma, and welcome.

so I hired some robots the other day to help sort out my content here
and hopefully earn me some pocket change to keep my sites running
but they were just chumps. they read my content and said,
"we think your readers will be curious about gold mining."

well, my readers may be curious to learn about gold mining,
but I won't have a big ad on my site saying, Gold Mining Equipment for sale on my site,
any more than I am going to have an ad for clown shoes on my site.

speaking of mining, today marks the first anniversary of a very sad occasion.
a year ago today, Sue Daniels lost her life in Giles County, Virginia.
if you need to catch up on the story, I have posted most of what I know to the loop.

I didn't know Sue for very long, but she made a very strong impression on me.
and the funny thing is that the impression seems to be getting more vivid - not less - as time goes by.

anyway if you have time, please take a minute to learn about Sue.
if you are a lady, you owe it to yourself.

so I am working on a site map for ideapark.org

it looks like this

I am also working on a new monster picture
it sort of looks like this

I am also working on some truck pictures but this is all I have so far

kinda croppy I know but oh well.

hey guess what we made sprouts and they are incredibly delicious
also the cold frame is working exactly as planned

so below is some snip-n-save content freshener
and with that I must say, adieu

have a wonderful day, take care

Suzy
