Updating My SEO Because Even the Internet Needs a Good Declutter If you’ve been poking around peanutbutterandwhine.com lately and thought, “Huh, something feels different,” congratulations. Your instincts are sharp and possibly paranormal. I’m deep in the process of updating my SEO. Not the glamorous kind of update where confetti falls and Google personally thanks me, but the gritty, behind-the-scenes kind where old posts get dusted off, links get refreshed, and keywords are gently coaxed into behaving better. Think less makeover montage, more haunted house cleanup. While revisiting early posts, I discovered something unsettling. Many of the original photos and videos have completely vanished. Not broken links. Not corrupted files. Gone. Poof. Into the digital ether. This can only confirm one thing: peanutbutterandwhine.com is haunted. There is no other explanation. Sure, it could be old hosting changes, platform migrations, or me being wildly optimistic about my organizational skills a decade ago. But let’s be honest.…

    Spell check?? Yea, spell check is not my friend when I’m texting or writing I end out with words I don’t mean to send! NOW I have to READ own emails for extra sentences!!! before I hit send!  UGH!! I am NOT an idiot stupid dingba never mind I am smarter than I sound honest!!!  Case in point….. I exchanged the nicest emails with Ferne over at The Purple Baby Brigade today only to go back and read MY email…… ummmm hummmm okay, so here is what I sent “But the guy in Nigeria is really going to I subscribe via emailme a million dollars right??!?! ; )”   WAIT… WHAT does that SAY!?  WHY.. wait… WHAT?!?!  Ohhhhhhhh Ummmm hummm okay so here is how me no talk right……. try and keep up.

  • Too much tv!

    I know I KNOW!!!  I watch too much tv.  YEESSSS I know I could fast forward through the commercials……. but then HOW would you know when there is a really funny one?!?!?!  SEE!?!  YOU fast forward I’ll be sure and point out the ones you missed. Like this one. This made me snort laugh!! If walls could talk, my blog would whisper, “It wasn’t me.”Because somehow, somewhere between coffee refills and letting the dog out, the Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine keeps sneaking in and removing pictures and videos. I don’t delete them. I would remember that. I am a responsible adult who double-checks things. And yet… photos vanish. Videos evaporate. Blog posts wake up looking underdressed, like they forgot their pants. Cue dramatic music. After the fifth “Where did that image go?” moment, I decided to stop fighting the paranormal and use it as an opportunity. If the ghost insists on rearranging my content, then I’m going to roll up my sleeves and improve my SEO score while I’m at it. Because if I’m re-uploading images anyway, they might as well have proper file names, alt text, and sizes that don’t make Google sigh heavily. Videos? Optimized. Old…
