American Sentinel Down But Not Out

Written by Paul Zannucci on 12:38 PM

American Sentinel, a blog I started last summer, is down but not out.

Here's the deal: Apparently Blue Host, the worst hosting company in the world, wants very small websites with no traffic. They want 1 million sites with 10 hits. Once you start doing well, they start harassing you to move. If you have great website aspirations, I would avoid Blue Host at all cost.

So anyway, I got tired of messing with it and gave it to Jay Henderson, who is working to relocate the blog to an actual web hosting company. I will no longer be a part of it, however, and will begin to blog here again.

I've learned a great deal about blogging since starting this site about a year ago, so expect some serious improvements now that I have blogging time to burn.

By the way, they will be back and running at the same domain soon, and I'll provide a link when they are up.

Blog change

Due to putting all my political posts on American Sentinel, I've decided to change the name of this blog to Random Ramblings and open it up to, well, random ramblings.

Site Notes: News and Notes and Google Page Rank

Written by Paul Zannucci on 10:53 AM

I've decided to try to do the "News and Notes" every day (except Sunday) along with my usual posts and to try to incorporate a wider variety of topics when I find something that I like, be it political or otherwise. This will give the handful of readers who find me amusing something to read every morning. The rest of my readers can ignore that and wait for my hyperbolic conservative rants.

A lot of folks have been, or previously had been, finding my site by typing "Conservative Principles" into Google. Somehow, I have angered the Google gods, however, and I have dropped from a page 1 ranking to a page 18 ranking, and I continue to fall. In fact, if you type my own name into the thing, my primary site (other than American Sentinel, I suppose) comes in somewhere in the middle of page 2.

All this is to say, please bookmark this site if you are one of the many persons who uses Google to find it. I suspect the slide will continue since I don't know what is causing it, and I may even be delisted. This is all fine. I get plenty of readers from elsewhere, but I just wanted to put this out there for those have been coming here via Google.
