Redotted from Mike: Would you like your Blue Dot profile page, treated like a "Blog" by Google? For many of us, Blue Dot is a blogging tool, but Google Blog search is not aware of it.

You can add your Blue Dot profile to this page, to ask Google to include your site in their blog search (you may have to do this periodically to get them to update your blog ... perhaps this is a feature we should do automatically for Blue Dot users?)

Just type in your profile:

http://bluedot.us/users/USERNAME

Or, if you want to just have your dots that are tagged a certain way added, enter in:

http://bluedot.us/users/USERNAME/tag/YOURTAG
