This is a quick post to see if my blog is going to show up on “the world as a blog” world map. It’s a cool real time display of weblog postings around the world as they happen in real time.
I did all the steps:
1) I added geotags to my site. This gives my approximate location. (certainly don’t want to use the exact location for privacy reasons.) See the “GeoURL” button on the lower left. Clicking that will show blogs in my “neighborhood”.
2) I already have an RSS feed on my page. The link is on the left “syndicate this site.” This is the part I’m not sure will work.
3) ping weblogs.com when I make a post. Typepad already does this.
So the experiment is about to begin. I’ll post this, then go look at the world map. Worst case delay is 3 minutes. I’ll post a comment to tell you if it worked.
