div on, yon divvers
April 11, 2008(from rambly.tid#techblog)
so in searching (google) for .tid versions of these tiddlyspots, the div tags (<div></div>) mug up the info, and there i am, with my hard-earned searching strategies going to the good Mr. Ruston and the (taciturn?) UnaMesa.
don’t get me wrong, i would be more than happy to put tiddlywiki info on the front page. and in the code. wherever. but if i have a search listing, my peoples want to see what the site is about. right?
plus it says, only works with javascript, and i even know some javascript now, and i wouldn’t click on a link that says that, about ‘only works on’. cos of crash-ola potential, who wants to risk that?
but. upon further a-muse-ment, i wonder about those little div tags. cos every problem is its own solution, am i wrong? if i were wrong, well, that would be a problem, and if it were true that i were wrong about every problem being its own solution, well, then, there would not be an inherent solution to that problem, so let us be thankful that this is not the case, and i am, indeed, not wrong.
about the div tags. if google likes div tags, then i say, give ‘em div tags! what if, when we get our shiny new tiddlywiki file, we can type in our site description, and it goes in da div tags! can that be done? is it impossible?
what if, oh, let’s go crazy here, and say that what if the tiddlers i wanted to release to the feed were to go in a similar <tag> situation in the html file.
but see, i would be as happy as this octopus to lets my tags, and only my tags, be submitted. not every stupid thing i ever say needs to be referenced forever, you know.
just the tags. when i name the tags, i name what the info is about. and my tags go in the html file, and get searched by the googly ones, and read by the (soon forthcoming from who knows where) tagReader (s).
question of tag(s) plurality is still on the table.
