I've had better luck, though, with the Technorati search I put on my site. You might want to do that, too. The directions are here:<BR/>http://www.technorati.com/<BR/>developers/help/searchlet.html<BR/><BR/>(I'm breaking up these URLs so they'll appear properly, so you'll have to remove the line break.)<BR/><BR/>You just have to add your own address and blog name in there. You may also have to claim your blog at Technorati to get the thing to start reading your posts. (I'm not sure if that's a sine qua non, but it's a good idea anyway.) Directions at Technorati, or there's a summary here: <BR/>http://paulstamatiou.com/2005/<BR/>11/03/how-to-boost-your-blog-traffic/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6656468.post-1153402559116244102006-07-20T14:35:00.000+01:002006-07-20T14:35:00.000+01:00And since I was the one who asked you about VOSS, ...And since I was the one who asked you about VOSS, I want to assure you that I actually did do a search of your blog first, but with no joy, so made the natural assumption that you had never posted about it.
