BlogChalking

Daniel P½dua has come up with a way to facilitate geographical (and other keyword) searching for blogs. He calls it blogChalking (partly inspired by the popular warchalking meme of the moment).

I've added the icon:

blogchalk: xian/Male/36-40. Lives in United States/Oakland/San Antonio and speaks English. Spends 60% of daytime online. Uses a Fast (128k-512k) connection.

to my navigation panel and the applicable keywords to my META tags in the HEAD of my homepage template. Last, it appears you need to use the keywords at least once in the body of a post, so here goes nothin':

Google! DayPop! This is my blogchalk: English, United States, Oakland, San Antonio, xian, Male, 36-40!

Blogistan Pie: OK, I'm on a roll here (I guess, in a lame sort of way). I've posted third and fourth verses for what I'm now calling Blogistan Pie since The Day the Blogging Died just really doesn't trip off the tongue. The Day the Weblogs Died may have been a better choice... (Blogosphere)
RFB obsolete: One nice thing about the LazyWeb is that if you get tired of doing something, don't worry about it. There are probably other people already out there doing it, possibly better than you were. I'm sort of in a dilemma with Radio Free Blogistan. I've put a lot of energy over... (Nanopublishing)
