About 1.5 weeks ago, someone asked how to make his GL site more google friendly. Here are their own published guidelines on how to do that. I also visited a few webmaster forums. In those, others said Google will penalize your site if you use the illicit practices pointed out in their guidelines. Although getting links to your site are important, they also recommended staying far away from any programs or sites which specialize in reciprocal links. Many of the participants in these end up getting penalized.

I've been working with Geeklog for more than six months now, and during that time the most often requested feature that I've seen has been for better (or any) handling of setting time zones different from the server and user preferenced time zones. To this end, I have suggestions on how to handle 'time' for possible use in Geeklog 2 and perhaps for future inclusion in the 1.3.x branch.

These are simple, straight forward recommendations meant more to spurn discussion then to be directly implemented into the codebase. However, these ideas are well thought out and have undergone some 'sanity' review.

Is there any plugin/hack/setting that allows for the separation of comment search results and story search results? Currently, if you do a search, the search script lists all the relevant stories and comments into one long list. If the comment has the same title as the story, it only confuses people who think \"why is it listing the same thing twice\"? Is there any way to perhaps indent the comments beneath the story,...or create two separate sections alltogether?

Thanks for any help.
