Ammoland.com is great but i think fred is smelly. Blah blah blah stuff and more stuff. Cool stuff about guns.

More stuff about guns blah blah blah blah. Here is a new trackback.

Google webmaster tools always complained about duplicate page titles for my s9y blog. These pages were generated by serendipity when next page is clicked at the bottom of the home page for blogs that are pagenated. It always bothered me that google didn't like that I had duplicate titles but I never really bothered to think about fixing it.

I finally got around to a fix...

{if $footer_currentPage != 1 && $entry_id != true && $staticpage_content == ''} - Page {$footer_currentPage}{/if}

Just place that code into the <title></title>

This change will number page titles whenever a next page is clicked. It will not number pages on single entries, the home page of the blog or on static pages.

The default title tag in serendipity is

<title>{$head_title|@default:$blogTitle}{if $head_subtitle} - {$head_subtitle}{/if}</title>

just change it to...

<title>{$head_title|@default:$blogTitle}{if $head_subtitle} - {$head_subtitle}{/if}{if $footer_currentPage != 1 && $entry_id != true && $staticpage_content == ''} - Page {$footer_currentPage}{/if}</title>

You can test the results by clicking on next page on the bottom of the home page of this blog.

I just noticed google is not notifying users when a url is being redirected to another url.

I noticed this with my como te llama search.

The first url is a wikipedia.org page. According to google's result, the url points to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Hammond,_Jr.'s_second_album.

When the link is clicked, Google stops the redirect and asks the user if they would like to be forwarded to the new url.

I hope this change doesn't stick. A lot of seo is built around redirects.

If for some reason you don't like the functionality of the address bar, dubbed the "Awesome Bar," you can disable it.

In the address bar, "Awesome Bar", go to about:config and set browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped to true and browser.urlbar.richResults to false.

Once set, close and restart Firefox and the awesome bar functionality will be finished.
