So I haven't busted out with any new bloggage in quite a bit. Initially, it was my goal to keep it weekly, but you know how it goes. One thing leads to another...and the last thing you wanna do is sit in front of the computer relaying garage sale finds and how much I like the way a Boglin's skin feels. But it's fun. I like to write, and, to be honest, with such a cool banner adorning the top of this page, I can't NOT keep this thing going. I can't let the rock and roll mania die, I can't let such a rad art piece go to waste! Plus, it features one of my favorite things -- me!
Well, anyway. I thought I'd try something new. Mainly because I've got zero ability to muster up an essay about some junk I got at the dollar store (it's some seriously rad junk, I'll get back to it as soon as I can) but it's also an experiment in internetting. A legitimate test in surfing webbing web surf.
Okay, whenever I google myself (don't judge) all sorts of Calabrese crud comes up. This is good, although, it's usually a tie between a bunch of chubby Italians and pictures of me circa seven years ago. But currently, most of the time, pictures from this blog pops up. It's everything from hastily taken Star Wars toys to pints of beer in Tucson. This is fun and all, but I figure I'd try something new. If there's
any way to tip the scales and even the odds when it comes to what's being shown on the first page of google, I'm gonna test it out. I'd rather pump up the web full of my face, if it's at all possible. You may call it narcissistic, I call it good promo. We recently played San Francisco with Strung Out, and a good buddy, Alan Snodgrass, took some rad photos of us, so here's what I'm going to do:
I'm going to post some of those photos.
Boring? Yeah, totally. The thinking is that not only will I knock out a decent sized blog (quantity over quality!) but maybe I'll finally be able to clog up the web's search engines with more than toys and booze when associating with my name. Next time you search Calabrese, you can forget about the Anthony Bourdain tributes...say hello to sweaty, God-like live shots!
Enjoy!

These make me want to listen to you guys some more and thrash around and get sweaty. Jus' sayin'.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to have a better chance of adorning the first page of google, you should either name all the pics 'Bobby Calabrese' or add it to the alt tag.
Great! NOW he tells me! Haha. But seriously. What's an alt tag?
ReplyDeleteEye candy! Not to sound gay or anything.
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of sounding ridiculously fan-girly, your blog is by far my favourite. It never fails to make me snicker and pass on the link to others so they can revel in the rock-ness that is Bobby Calabrese.
ReplyDeleteAlt tags are what google reads for information about an image. They're easy to add. Just scan through your post and look for where it says '.jpg"' then put a space after the quotation mak and add in alt="Bobby Calabrese" and thou shalt have your face all over google in no time!
ReplyDeleteDamn it, Bobby, stop looking so much like a young Bruce Campbell!
ReplyDeleteDecomposeur, does that really work? I'm not sure I'm doing it right. Or is it better to name the pics?
ReplyDeleteBobby, you can name the pictures and it'll show up in a google search. It'll increase the odds of it showing up if you also add yourself as a tag to the post, and like Decomposeur said, put alt="Bobby Calabrese". It's pretty easy to do, you just have to remember to do it.
ReplyDeleteSome pretty cool "action shots". Captures the mood of y'all's live show quite nicely!
ReplyDeleteYeah it works, when I was working as a web developer, I had to do that on a massive website to all their pics. It can take a week or so to get cached into google but once it does, you're there forever.
ReplyDeleteAlso, a late reply.
