Hi again...
Regarding the question of how people will find these boards, there's probably no single, best answer, but I thought I should let you know that I've recently set up http://www.chatroomboard.com to serve that end. The new site is search engine friendly, but it won't be a "chat board" where users can talk. It will be a plain-old-boring website that will have lots of keywords and references to these boards, thereby allowing search engines to find these boards without letting Google, Yahoo, etc. document your every word. So search engines will continue to be blocked from each of the specific boards but at least you will be able to be found if you so desire.If you go to http://www.chatroomboard.com you will see that it is still quite unfinished. The walls are up, but there's no furniture, so to speak. That's where I need your help. I need a paragraph or two, or maybe a short history, about each of the boards. I need keywords and phrases that people using the search engines would enter. I will also be looking for volunteers who would like to engage their journalistic tendencies, regarding pottery and/or auctions of course, to contribute articles periodically. That way there will be even more for search engines to latch onto. These articles will be the first thing people see when they bring up the site and it will be a way to keep it fresh. The information about each of the boards will be on a separate page and the search engines will have no trouble finding that info.
It is just a way to attract attention and to be found.
I'm open to question and suggestions, and I plan to post variations of this request on the other boards.
