Help the Googlebot understand your blog

"When you display the permanent link for a post. You should link the title of a post which presumably contains words which indicate what the post is about instead of a [#] or the word permalink or, common amongst Blogger users, the date and time."

"Use the meta tags to help the Googlebot index only your permalinks, not your constantly changing front page. To do this, use:
this <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" > on your front page
and this <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" > in archives"

Two nice little tips there for me to clean up my Google. I've a nice robots.txt anyway but fear that my home pages are still being indexed. And I'll take a look at sorting out my permalinks, maybe using the title of the post for them.
