[...] doesn’t it? It can. But, that’s not what Jay Thompson was thinking about when he wrote Active Rain Launched “Outside Blogs” on the Geek Estate Blog. Rain or shine, you can now get yourself an “outside blog” [...]

Jay,
Thanks for explaining this to me. I am starting to see the benefit of moving forward with my word press blog in the works.

I am definitely interested in how this will effect the AR community, I am really leaning on the side of my good friend Steve & Jay, that owning ‘my own’ is really adding up and making more sense everyday! Great review Jay.

Diane – Localism is a collaborative effort from the AR community and one’s outside blog is uniquely their own content. On Localism, collaborative works really good for the consumer since we can collectively give them great info.

Um, what’s the difference between an AR Outside Blog and Localism?

Here’s there answer:
If you choose a subdomain
domain.ar.com
then
“We will be adding no-index tags to all sub-domain blogs”

That took the wind out of my sails over it…I was psyched…but now… not so much…
whats the point if it’s got a no index tag?

(Please let me know if I’m wrong on this

Jay, like you, my AR account is basically dormant. I have it, to provide occasional comments, and read the “insider” posts now and again.

From what’s described, I don’t see much benefit to the AROB over their standard blog. Pointing your personal dot com over to this new URI would add a tiny bit of added SEO.

Regardless, I’ll set my own up, if for no other reason, to protect my “name space”.
