economics.mystrangemind.com

I thought it would be best to separate the economic posts into their own blogger blog (economics.mystrangemind.com). This will make it easier to organize the vast amount of info, into a concentrated resource that functions as a streamlined and intuitive method of ingesting vast sums of economic data in short order.

It will also make it so that people who are not interested in economics will not have to see it if they don't want to.

Now that Google's blogger, our dependable host, has allowed me to attach a domain directly to the blog much more is possible than ever before.

This development bodes well for the blogger blogosphere in general, since now all of the pages of one's blog will be under their domain instead of blogspot.com, as they had to be prior. So the page rank of these sites will be increased since all of the links will redirect to pages under the blog's new domain and all future links will be directly to the domain.

Prior to this domains had to be cloaks or redirects, so even if the blog isn't the main part of the site, it was difficult for a blog to seem like a continuous part of the site. This discouraged many people to leave blogger for paid services or even move their blog off of google's machines and onto another host.

Now this mess is unnecessary and bloggers can easily point their domains and sub domains to Google's DNS servers with a simple CNAME record.

Search engines hate domain cloaks, since they think it is a blank page. Redirects don't solve the problem that links and content do not appear under your own domain.

I will put in all of the free time I can to build a base of information that is useful to the community.

I'm going to use the DNS capabilities to implement a network of blogs under this domain and maybe a couple others if all goes well.

If anyone would like to be an editor and help shape the future of this project, drop me an note at K A H O T E P AT G M A I L DoT C O M
