My Sub-Domains Not Indexed
June 8, 2008
I'm very glad that my new site apmart.com has been indexed by Google since 1 June. Even though not all pages and posts are index, I am very happy for the result. You may read more about this even here: ApMart Indexed by Google
I have other sub domains created before buying this apmart.com domain, namely:
1. wp.binh.name - WordPress resources
2. webdesign.binh.name - Web Design
3. seo.binh.name - Search Engine Optimization
4. cntt.binh.name - CNTT (not worth mentioned).
None of those sub domains are indexed in Google. However, found out they are indexed by Yahoo!.

Major Changes
June 2, 2008
Finally, I have no choice but to innovate my site. I kept this idea in mind for few months already, but never could make it. This time, because I need to spend the time on other more profitable businesses, I decide to spend the week modifying my site structure. Maybe I won't be writing too much, but that doesn't make any Here are the additional sites and their functions:
No tag for this post.Ranks 54 on SEO Web Design
May 5, 2008
I've been targeting SEO Web Design and SEO Web Designer keywords since March 2008. I haven't officially provide any SEO services, yet. However, I do plan to improve my ranking on those keywords and when I do provide services, I can use this as a case study for my success.
Since Binh.name has increased PR from 3 to 4, here are the changes on placements search engine result page:
- SEO web design: #58+ down to #54
- SEO web designer: #39+ down to #37
- Binh: #3+ down to #1
- Binh Nguyen: remain #3

New Webmaster Resources Page
May 4, 2008
I got bored with my own blog. So I believe people also get bored. I decided to make a new page called Resources which include links to many resources for webmasters. At the moment the page is only limited to having:
- Search Enging Optimization Resources
- Google Webmaster Resources
- Self SEO Tools
In the future I will include more links as I find out relevant to my site.
I want to name this page like "Webmaster Resources". Unfortunately with the current limitation with the theme, I can't name the page any longer than "Resource". Anything goes in Page title will goes in the menu, which will make it look rediculous.

WP-Super-Cache Does not Allow PHP Conditions
March 17, 2008
WP-Super-Cache WordPress plugin does it again. This time, the cache doesn't let me display custom message for user with Internet Explorer, because it only cache the first instant of the page.
Do you notice the different view of my blog's header when it you see on Firefox, and when you see it on Internet Explorer? I inserted some PHP code to recognize when it's IE to display the Firefox recommendation message. That's because I disabled the WP-Super-Cache. When Super Cache is enabled, it will make the page display exactly the same on both FireFox, and IE.

Some SEO Tweaks on 8 Mar 2008
March 8, 2008
I've made a few more changes. This times it's especially for SEO purpose.
Blog Title
I change my blog name from 'Webmaster Binh Nguyen's Blog | Binh.name' to 'SEO Web Designer Binh Nguyen'.This title more accurately describes my position. Firstly 'webmaster' doesn't need to have strong programming skills. Secondly, although I'm more a web developer (more coding) than a web designer (more designing) but people don't use the term web developer as often as web designer.
Another point to be noticed is that I practice more SEO design than Graphic design. That's why now I choose SEO Web Designer.

This Blog is Dressing Up
March 5, 2008
WARNING: SITE MAINTENANCE IS IN PROGRESS! I have been absent from posting for few days again. This period I've been working hard on a new temporary theme. This theme is mainly reversed engineered from the Revolution Tech theme, so don't be surprise if most of the layout look similar to that.
Testing
If you see strange screen clutter, misplaced elements, strange/wrong category/tag names, strange format, PLEASE DON'T PANIC. Check back a day later, if the problems still occur please kindly send me an email, or simply leave a comment here.
