These two days I learned new things. I was shocked to find out that none of my sites are indexed by search engines eventhough I already have them for many years. Now I'm sure you can tell that I'm not a tech guru nor a computer geek. I always thought that it is an automatic thing for websites to be indexed by Google or Bing. Anyway, thanks to Google we can find almost any answers in the internet nowadays and by simply 'Googling' a few questions. I have learned new thing! I actually have to submit my websites' sitemap to Google for it to be indexed and I am happy that I've submitted them all.
And then came the next hurdle. The forever frightening 'Pending' status right next to your submission. You start to wonder when will your sites be indexed. You then search online to see what people are sharing in the virtual world and the news is certainly not promising. Some have said that their websites were not indexed even after a week or longer! It certainly does not sound encouraging at all. You can't do anything because the ball is no longer on your court. You could only wait for the ball to be hit back from the other end back at you.

And today I was happy to wake up to
good news that one of my sites has been successfully indexed! And I have
also managed to solve a problem with my other site and get it verified
in my Webmaster page. A few hours later after I got to my office, the first thing I did was of course not working but checking the status of my blogs again and realized that 2 more sites have been indexed! Isn't that a wonderful way to start your Friday
morning!
We never stop learning in life and if you were like me only started blogging in my late 30s, then you would have plenty to catch up and learn. But it is good because every hurdles push me harder to look for answers and the by product of that is a more knowledgeable ME!

This weekend is going to be awesome as it is forecasted to be considerably cooler than last week, in fact a sharp drop of 14 degrees to 24 degrees! I love this type of weather as it is not too hot nor cold, just perfect for outdoor activities! With a perfect Friday to start off I would like to wish you all have a wonderful and productive weekends!
