TT vanity pages

Create yours if you think you're vain enough

TT member profiles are not indexed by Google.

This means that a vanity search on your own username is unlikely to yield relevant results.

You can fix this by creating your own vanity page in the TT wiki.

Here's how...

Open a web browser window, and into the address box type "http://www.toytowngermany.com/wiki/" followed by your username, then click return, or enter, or whatever. A blank page should load. Then click the "edit this page" link which is highlighted in yellow on the right-hand side. Enter your desired text in the resulting textbox. Then click "save". Simple. You can edit the page again at any time later.

After the first edit, wait a few days - until Google has had time to spider your page - and then do the vanity search again. Depending on how common your username is, you may or may not see the page coming up in the results. If the result doesn't appear, try tacking the word "Munich" onto the end of the search terms.





Note: also be sure to add the following line of code to the bottom of your text entry:

@Editor Bob

Seems to be no permissions on the Edit function?

Am I violating the Wiki Code or something (blush blush)

Whoops - that's scary - I put my name in a comment on JEs page and it marked me as some number - is that my computer number thing??? (IP address?)

Edit - I did put something nice, I guess it's a good way of tracking anyone writing nasties. But still...

If you create a wiki account it will display your username next to comments instead of your IP.

Well I think this old thread needs to be bumped up. There seems to be more personas on TT yet a lack of definition for them. Post those vainity pages haha.
