Well, today, only four days later, the prediction comes true.
Why the sudden change?
Yesterday, I noticed that my blog was no longer being picked up by Bing, Microsoft's new search engine. And though I haven't checked yet, I suspect the same might be happening with Google.
I went to http://help.live.com/help.aspx?project=wl_webmasters&market=en-us&querytype=topic&query=wl_webmasters_trou_msnbotindexing.htm to see if I could figure out a reason for this, and read the following: Don't put text you want indexed with images. For example if you want your company name and address to be indexed, make sure it isn't displayed only inside an image of your company logo.
Bear with me, I'm still learning.

It's amazing how one simple thing can knock you off the computer block..I like the new header, it does look mysterious..I'm still learning trying to add more to my personal blog The Nana Blog, but it is a journey. I've been working on it for a year!! And still learning...
Yes, Lee, this is quite a learning process and it takes so much time. But in the end, I get a great feeling of accomplishment. I notice that you at The Naked Hero have your blog title in the header along with an image, and it doesn't seem to affect your search engine results negatively. I wonder if there's someone out there who can help answer this. In the mean time, I'll keep researching.
