#at least from my understanding based on the FAQ page

[hollow-prey]

one of these days I've gotta write about Phoenix and the whole backstory I've crafted for him, since TLF never gave him any kind of lore because he was a non-canon character in a spinoff game whose sole purpose it seems was to sacrifice himself and die at the end anyway, so any backstory they might have given him would have been completely meaningless

Transcript: I love Underverse. It is one of my favorite UTMV medias. I cannot overstate how much I adore this series and everything it is. But I cannot ignore its continued influence on the fandom's overall perception of Ink in place of the original Ink. I'm talking about the *Ink becomes a threat to others when he runs low on paints* point that shows up in almost every fanwork since 0.4 and Underverse's reinforcement of the misconception that Ink "doesn't feel pain" in later episodes. I'm mostly talking about the XGaster vial scene and the fight with Fatal. Spoiler for later in this rant: Yes, the original Ink feels pain. I've heard all of the explanations and excuses like Jakei didn't know, it's Jakei's story, Jakei doesn't have to be accurate, it's an AU so who cares?, and so on, but allow me to be frustrated. Underverse is one of, if the the most influential UTMV media out there. If someone sees something in UTMV, it's likely going to be Underverse and only Underverse. Many go to watch Underverse without knowing about the characters original stories and form their view of characters solely on Underverse's portrayal, then go on to create in the fandom. They do not have to seek out more information at all but it is frustrating when they then try to say they are being accurate to the "original" version of the character when they are so obviously basing the character off of the Underverse versions. If I see X-event or Cross in a "canon Ink lore" discussion I'm out. Imagine this: imagine we did not know how Dream fought before Underverse season one started. If Jakei had Dream use purple magic attacks and a spear, many in the fandom would think he did that in Dreamtale and would call it canon to the original Dream. That's an exaggeration but you get my point. Many don't know the Gasters in 0.6 are Ink's dads because it's not in Underverse's episodes! This is why the fandom reactions to those Ink scenes frustrate me. The emotionless scene might have been written when less was known about Ink but the "Ink does not feel pain" moments were way too recent for that information to not be out. When Ink runs out of paints, the person that is most threatened is Ink. He is helpless to the point where he can't react even if someone hurts him. He can feel pain and has felt pain. It's not always as intensely as others do but he can still feel it. I have seen the idea that the original Ink can't feel pain at all pop up more after Underverse 0.7 came out and I don't think it's a coincidence. I am NOT blaming or upset with Jakei by the way. I want to make that clear. Jakei cannot control what ideas viewers cling to and it'd be ridiculous to expect anyone to. I wish people would stop claiming Underverse Ink is a completely accurate representation of Comyet's Ink or saying he is "canon Ink, just in a different situation". He is not. Both Comyet and Jakei have said he is not a fully accurate representation of Ink. Saying that he is does a disservice to both versions of Ink. Underverse Ink is Jakei's version of Ink, that's all. And before it's brought up again: Yes, Ink's emotions are real. That is what his vials do. He feels so much he vomits, part of his character is that he struggles to understand and cope with his own emotions, and he dies without those paints. I will not lie; I am wary of anyone who tries to claim his emotions are fake because he's soulless and or because they come from the vials. Wariness is also an exaggeration but I cannot think of a word to say my point, sorry. Let me reiterate: I adore Underverse. It is fantastic and influential. I am more frustrated with parts of its fandom than Underverse itself. I beg more to stop taking Underverse Ink's actions and lore as canon to the original. At least read Ink's FAQ on Comyet's page and look into Ink's original lore instead of looking to Underverse for "original Ink" ideas and discussions. And if you are talking about Underverse Ink, please do not try to say you're talking about the original one. The same for other characters and their lore too.

(This vent got long. Sorry, mod)

[Mod note: Holy shit, you reached the character limit.]

INTEREST CHECK - 2 WEEKS REMAINING

We've already received over 100 responses to the interest check! We're leaving it open for 2 more weeks barring any last minute changes from the mod team, so if you want to give any input about our current schedule, now's your chance!

Our TL;DR for the first part of our schedule is:

March 25th: Sign-ups OPEN!

April 20th: Summary submissions OPEN! Authors must submit at least a 2k word document - see here for what this can contain.

April 25th: Writer sign-ups CLOSE!

April 30th: Artist sign-ups, beta sign-ups, and summary submissions CLOSE!

May 7th: Claims CLOSE!

May 10-11th: Assignments sent out!

Find the rest on our Schedule page!

Below the cut, we'll answer some questions from the interest check so far - so fill it out if there's something you want to see from us! If there's anything missing, check the FAQ for more.

Is the discord open?

Not yet! We will be opening the discord when sign-ups are under way.

Can cosplays count as an art form?

After discussing with the rest of the mod team, we decided that at present, we will not be including cosplay as an art form. While it is undeniably an incredibly impressive form of art and great fun for everyone involved, it would be difficult for the mods to enforce regulations about what does and doesn't constitute a cosplay. Thank you for understanding!

How do artists and writers get paired?

Writers will submit their summaries, which will be available for artists to look at. Artists will privately look at all of the submissions, and then select anywhere from 5-10 summaries that they are interested in writing for, submitting this information into a form for us to collate. Based on this information, we will pair the teams!

Can I join with a friend?

Yes of course! The more the merrier! Only one of you needs to formally sign up and submit the necessary documents, but both of you would be eligible to join the discord server!

Are video edits allowed?

Yes! They must be posted somewhere that the author can see, preferably hosted on Tumblr, Twitter, or YouTube. Posting on TikTok is allowed, but should not be the only way to access it.

Can I communicate with my team via WhatsApp instead of Discord?

We can't explicitly recommend any form of communication that's not on the usual social media - Discord, Twitter, BlueSky, or Tumblr - for security reasons, as WhatsApp gives your phone number. It is completely up to you and your team how you prefer to communicate, and if you all agree to use WhatsApp, then go ahead! The mod team would prefer for teams to use social media where possible, but cannot enforce this on a team level.

What if there's someone I don't want to be paired with?

The mod team can be discrete. During submissions, please indicate up to three people you do not want to be paired with. It's an unlikely scenario (I'm a mathematician, I know how often unlikely things crop up!), but we can make sure that you won't be partnered with these people. Any more than three and the matching possibilities may completely fall apart.

and last but not least:

Thank you for running this!

You're welcome! We are all doing our best, and are very grateful for the patience everyone is showing us in running this event to make it as smooth as possible. We hope to see you sign up soon!

Expanding Hyrule - Mod Positions

Expanding Hyrule has been expanding so quickly, it has been hard to keep up. This request is arguably overdue, but here we are! Truth be told, it has just been me behind the scenes running EH here since the start, though the support from the community has been outstanding and I appreciate your grace as I figure this all out a ton. But! We have reached a point where I just can't keep up with doing all of this on my own. So the archive is expanding to have additional moderator positions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're interested in being a moderator for EH, please reach out to me either here on Tumblr ( @amelias-hart ) or on Discord (amelias.hart) with why and what tasks you'd like to help with. You are welcome to make suggestions on task areas based on your skillset. The current team will cap at five, including myself.

Requirements

Over 18 years old

Member on the EH Discord and have a Tumblr

Familiar with the general goals of EH and the rules for the EH Discord

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FAQs

That's a very short list of requirements, is that really it?

Yes! The community has given me plenty of grace for learning on the go, so I am more than willing to extend the same grace to potential mods. There are also a lot of hats to fill to run an archive like this, from Discord moderating to Tumblr posts to data management, that having a more specific list of requirements might make people feel like they need to wear all of them and they don't. That's the point of having a team.

Why the two platform requirements?

Mod coordination will be run through a mod section of the EH Discord, so in order to make sure the team is all on the same page, you will need to join on there. As for why on Tumblr, that's because the archive is on Tumblr. Whether or not that includes actually making posts or managing the lists will depend on how the final team is organized, but you should at least be able to see the archive.

Will this include moderators on other platforms?

Undecided. While EH has an AO3 collection, it is also currently run with the understanding that a lot of people are nervous about joining collections. It is very likely we will poll how people feel about multiple moderators being on the collection versus just myself.

What will mods do?

That's a broad question, but very likely mods will divide up the whole task list I do currently and then each take on their own relative sections. What those sections look like will depend on who volunteers. Once selections have been made and we've talked together about what we want the team to take on, we will communicate that final to all of you. As for myself, I will take on a section we'll called "creative director" which is to stay I'm staying at the helm for general project management, but the individual tasks of that will get broken up between us.

Some thoughts and tips for FTH

This is a big event, one that can be confusing and even stressful, so here are some tips for contributors before the whole thing begins.

Most importantly, this is meant to be a fun way to raise donations for important causes. If thinking about it stresses you out too much, don't do it. There are many ways to donate and participate in charity events, and it is perfectly valid to choose what is best for you.  

After you decide you want to participate – look at the 2022 auction page (here) to get a general idea of how it looks. Be not afraid – once you understand the logic, it is easy to navigate. And now that you have some idea how the FTH offers look like, read the FAQ (here). It is a bit long, and can be a bit overwhelming, but well worth the reading.

And now, to the interesting part – my suggestions for a successful bid.

Firstly, decide how many creations you want to offer. Each person can offer up to three creations (fic, art, beta, podfic, ect,), and in a variety of lengths and ratings. Can you really commit to writing 3 fics, each one more than 10K? If so, excellent. If not, it might be better to offer shorter fics, or a long fic but only one.

Don't forget that creators who are offered the option to make something for their second bidders BEFORE second bidders are offered the chance to donate in return for a fanwork. So, it is possible that instead of 3 entries, you will end up with 6.

Equally important is to be clear about your yay and nay. Is there a rare pair that you can’t wait to create art for them? Maybe a character that you don’t want to engage with? What are your favourite genres? Do you prefer canon compliant or AU? Are there scenes you love more than others?

Elaborate what you are especially interested in writing about, but also what you are unwilling to address. There is no need to explain your reasons, but the more specific you are, the more chance people will get excited about your ideas, and won't ask you for things you are not willing to engage with. You can also check for past years to see what others wrote, to some inspiration. 

That is true also for notes and special interests – have you worked in a circus? Maybe you have experience with making flint knives? Sometimes people need very niche knowledge, so don't hesitate to add things.

Highest rating means just that - how explicit you are willing to create, based on the AO3 rating system. If you prefer to stay in the SFW zone, choose G or T. If you want to write NSFW, your choice is between M or E. That means that if a contributor chose G they will create only something with that rating, but a contributor who chose E can write at all the ratings, depending upon the prompt from the bidder. 

Example works - there will be people who are not familiar with your work, so choose the ones that reflect you and your style the best. Make sure they are those you love the most, even if they are not the one with the most kudos or comments.

Ways of communication - sometimes people will have specific prompts in their mind, and want to make sure the contributor is fine with it before they bid. You can choose how to communicate (email, twitter, tumblr, ect.), but whatever way you choose, remember to leave your messages open and check your spam. 

About the bidding price - the default minimum bid price is $5. The money is donated straight to a charity, and the contributors are donating their time and labour. Each year, the FTH mods decide upon a certain number of charities that the winners donate to, and each contributor can decide if they want the donations for their creations to be passed to any of the organisations on the list or specific ones. 

Some organisations are marked with an asterisk (*), which means they allow for international donations directly through their websites, while other organisations don't allow it. The bidders are from all over the world, so it is advised to choose at least one organisation that allows international donations as well.  

The sign-up period is two weeks, so no need to rush. Don’t forget to look at your offers after the browsing week starts, and contact mods if there is any mistake.  

Don’t be disheartened if your offers don’t get bidders straight away. While some people bid as soon as it is possible, others wait for the last minute to make their offer. In any case, the mods highlight offers without bidders, and eventually most, if not all, offers are being claimed.

Once the bidding is over, it takes some time for the mods to notify the winners, for them to donate and present a proof, and after that to receive your contacts from the mods and reach out, so please wait a few days. If after a week no one has approached you, ask the mods and they will solve the problem.

Once your bidders contact you, the real fun starts. This is the time to decide on a prompt both of you will be happy with, and how much collaboration you want. Some contributors prefer to deliver the final creation, while others want to update every step of the way. Some winners will ask to see the work before it is published, while others wish to be surprised, so make sure to reach an agreement beforehand. 

Enjoy, and thank you for your donation!

What is a System?

Hello, if you've been lead to this page it's probably because you've seen talk of systems, plurality, fictives, etc. by us and you're not quite sure what that is. Here's a little FAQ for you, using RvB as jumping off point to help understand.

Note that this is nowhere near a comprehensive covering of all of plurality, but simply a crash course in things most commonly referred to on this blog.

What's a system? What does plural mean?

A system is the collection of multiple (at least partially) independent entities housed in one mind/body. Being plural, or plurality, is the state of having these multiple entities in one body. For a variety of reasons, sometimes a persons brain decides to divide itself up into different entities, or system members.

What.

You know how, in the show, Church splits off the AI fragments into different parts of himself? That is based off a real thing called dissociative identity disorder/DID. (in the show they use the term multiple personality disorder, which is just the outdated term for it). Real people also have this disorder, or have an otherwise similar experience of being plural/a system.

So you're a system?

Yes! How exactly our system works isn't quite relevant here, but if you want to read a little more about our alters, you can do so here. (Note: alter is a synonym for system member that we prefer to use. Not all systems use this term, so try to use whatever term they use to refer to their own members).

What's a fictive?

A fictive is a type of introject, and an introject is a member of a system whose identity is based off something that exists externally from the system. Using RvB as an example again, you know Tex is her own person, but is also based off the memories of Allison? This makes her an introject, specifically a factive. A factive is an introject based off a real person in a system’s life (friends, family, celebrities, etc), while a fictive is an introject based off a fictional character.

And you're a fictive?

I, meaning the alter who uses this blog the most frequently, ghost, am a fictive of Church. So my identity is basically that of Leonard Church. Kind of. It's a lot more complicated than that in reality. The most important thing to remember is that I'm an actual person, and I'm not fictional. So please just treat me like a normal person.

What are exomemories?

Exomemories (sometimes also called pseudomemories, though that term should only be used for those who say they prefer it) are memories that a system member might have that did not actually occur to the mind/body that they're in. Often times fictives, and also just alters in general, can come into the system kind of like… “pre loaded” with a life and memories. You know how, in Blood gulch, Church talked about how he went to high school with Tex and other such memories with her? These did not happen in reality, but he still remembers them occurring. Similarly when I came into the system, I came with all the memories of being Leonard Church in Blood Gulch, etc. Other alters in our system may or may not have their own exomemories, and may or may not feel comfortable sharing them.

What is Front?

If an alter is in front or fronting, it means they are in control of the body. Related terms are co-fronting, meaning multiple alters are in control of the body at the same time, and co-conscious (shortened cocon), meaning an alter isn’t in control of the body but is still present and aware of what is happening.

Is it rude to ask to speak to a specific alter?

This is something that varies from system to system. For us, you are free to send messages and ask questions of specific alters. In fact, it means a lot to us when you do! However, note that we do not control who fronts when. There’s a good chance your message won’t be responded to for months. Do not ask us to have specific alters front on your schedule.

I have questions that aren’t answered here.

Feel free to ask us any further questions! Note that anything too personal probably won’t be answered unless we’re close. Also, there’s a good chance that if it’s too off topic you’re going to be redirected to our main blog @chromaticroses.

I don’t think this is real.

Die mad about it.

*Insert question about syscourse?*

Why would you ask us, a Red vs Blue blog, this.

We’re not going to engage with any sort of discourse here. We are explicitly accepting of all types of systems and are uninterested in people who are not. If you have genuine, good faith questions about some of the controversial things you may have heard about plurality, reach out to us at our main blog: @chromaticroses.

That’s it for now. Hopefully you enjoyed the podcast and speak to you soon.

Let’s dive into today’s topic and have a good chat about something that’s been on the minds of many Irish citizens living abroad — buying property back home in Ireland.

Irish Ex-Pat Mortgages — Purchasing Property in Ireland While Living Overseas

If you’re currently living and working abroad but dreaming of owning a place back in Ireland, then an Ex-Pat Mortgage might just be the perfect fit for you.

Let’s run through a few key points you’ll want to know:

You can buy a residential property in Ireland even while you’re based overseas.

You’ll need a 30% deposit, and the lender may offer up to 70% Loan-to-Value (LTV).

You could borrow up to four times your individual or combined qualifying income.

The maximum mortgage term is 25 years.

First-time buyer grants are available — but only for new builds.

At least one applicant must hold an Irish passport and have a PPS number.

If you’re not an Irish national, you’ll need an Irish work permit for your income to be considered.

This mortgage type is available only for completed properties — not self-builds.

So, what exactly is an Ex-Pat Mortgage?

Well, it’s a mortgage specifically designed for Irish citizens living abroad. It allows you to secure property in Ireland without the need to physically return during the buying process — making it far more manageable.

Who’s eligible to apply?

At least one applicant must be an Irish citizen with a valid passport and PPS number.

You should have been in continuous employment for over two years.

Joint applications are welcome — provided all applicants have valid work permits or visas.

Usual mortgage lending criteria will apply.

And again, that 30% deposit is non-negotiable.

Lastly, you shouldn’t currently own property in Ireland.

Now, how can you prepare before moving home?

Gather Your Documentation

Have your passport, address proof, six months of bank and credit card statements, recent payslips, and a CV ready. If self-employed, include tax returns and business accounts. Also, get your credit reports, translated if necessary.

Deposit Savings

For example, if you’re eyeing a €500,000 property, you’ll need around €150,000 as a deposit. Don’t forget to check if you’re eligible for the Help-to-Buy scheme.

Credit History

Get your credit reports in advance, especially if you’re relocating from the Middle East or places where accessing documents later could be tricky.

Financial Conduct

Keep your finances tidy: pay bills on time, avoid new debts, save regularly, and steer clear of gambling transactions. Staying in your current job during the application period helps too.

Got questions lingering in your mind?

We’ve put together a helpful FAQ section on this page to guide you through some of the most common queries about Ex-Pat Mortgages. If something isn’t clear or you’d like to talk things through, feel free to give us a call or book an appointment — we’re here to help you every step of the way.

Voice Search and Digital Marketing: Adapting Strategies for the Smart Speaker Era

Imagine this: You’re cooking dinner, your hands are full, and you suddenly need to check the calorie count of olive oil. Instead of typing it into your phone, you simply ask, “Hey Alexa, how many calories are in one tablespoon of olive oil?” — and within seconds, you have the answer. This is not just convenience; it’s a revolution.

Welcome to the smart speaker era, where voice search and digital marketing intersect to reshape how businesses connect with their audiences. With devices like Amazon Echo, Google Nest, and Apple HomePod becoming part of our daily lives, marketers must pivot their strategies to remain relevant.

The Rise of Voice Search

Voice assistants are no longer futuristic novelties; they’re household staples. According to recent studies:

Over 50% of internet users utilise voice search daily.

More than 35% of households own at least one smart speaker.

Voice-based shopping is expected to hit $40 billion in 2025.

This data isn’t just interesting—it’s transformative for those in digital marketing. To stay ahead, brands must re-engineer how they communicate, advertise, and deliver content.

Why Voice Search Matters in Digital Marketing

Traditional SEO is built around typed search queries, often short and keyword-heavy. But voice search is different. It’s conversational, question-based, and heavily dependent on context.

For example: 

Typed: “best pizza NYC”

Voice: “What’s the best pizza place near me that’s open right now?”

This subtle shift means digital marketing and technobridge strategies must evolve in the following ways:

1. Focus on Conversational Keywords

People speak differently than they type. This means:

Use natural language in your content.

Optimise for long-tail, question-based keywords.

Include FAQ sections that directly answer common voice queries.

2. Optimize for Local Search

Voice search is inherently local. Users are often looking for nearby solutions, especially on mobile.

Claim and optimise your Google My Business listing.

Use location-specific keywords.

Ensure consistency in your NAP (name, address, and phone number) across directories.

3. Enhance Page Load Speeds and Mobile Usability

Smart devices are connected to mobile apps and web browsers. If your site is slow or not mobile-friendly, you’ll lose potential traffic.

Use responsive design.

Minimise page load times.

Keep navigation intuitive.

4. Structured Data and Featured Snippets

Voice assistants often pull from featured snippets or content with structured schema markup.

Use schema.org to tag relevant sections.

Write clear, concise answers at the top of your content.

Focus on content that is most likely to be read aloud by smart speakers.

How Digital Marketing and Technobridge Align with Voice Search Evolution

At Technobridge, we understand that technology changes fast—and businesses must adapt even faster. Our digital marketing and Technobridge partnership is built around forward-thinking strategies. We blend traditional marketing expertise with cutting-edge voice search optimisation, helping businesses future-proof their online presence.

We focus on

Audience behaviour analysis in the smart speaker ecosystem.

Integrating voice-responsive content into existing digital strategies.

Training marketers to embrace AI-powered tools and conversational marketing.

Key Tips to Prepare for the Smart Speaker Era

To succeed in this evolving space, businesses must not just adopt but embrace change. Here’s a quick checklist:

 Include voice search as a core part of your SEO strategy.

 Use a natural, conversational tone in all digital content.

 Optimise for mobile and smart device compatibility.

 Keep content concise, structured, and answer-based.

 Work with professionals who understand digital marketing and Technobridge best practices.

Conclusion

The smart speaker era is not a trend—it’s a transformation. Voice search and digital marketing are no longer separate lanes; they are converging at high speed. Whether you're a small business or a multinational enterprise, your ability to adapt will determine your relevance.

By aligning your strategy with voice-first behaviours and working with forward-looking partners like Technobridge, you can not only survive but thrive in this new era. Your audience is already talking—make sure you’re listening and ready to respond.

My Experience with SCDL Project Report and Other Distance Learning Assignments

Understanding the SCDL Project Report

The SCDL Project Report is an essential part of the project. It needs a study, proper format, and logical presentation. To be honest, at first, I was overwhelmed with it. Though, but after I got to know the basics, everything became easier..

Selecting the Topic – I decided to go with a subject that intrigued me. This was a source of motivation to finish the job.

Research Properly- I gathered data from books, the internet, and case studies.

Organizing My Work – I split the project into different sections such as Introduction, Objectives, Methodology, Analysis, and Conclusion.

Getting help through the format—SCDL gives hints. I was very careful to ensure that everything is wonderful, so I didn't make mistakes.

My Struggle with IMT CDL Project Report

It was so much easier for me to complete my SCDL project and lecturer project that I then assisted my friend with his IMT CDL Project Report. Even though the format was different, the main idea was the same. The most relevant thing in successful writing is the power of clear and well-organized opinion statement.

When I was doing my NMIMS Assignments, I found out that they were mostly case study-based. To answer case studies, I needed to think analytically besides and rather than mere theory writing, I had to practice concepts in real-life situations.

Afterward, when I did LPU Assignments, I noticed that they were very straight to the point. The questions were easy to answer, but they required a lot of detail.  The secret was to write concisely and use plain language.

Most Common Student FAQs

How should I select a project topic? 

Select a topic that catches your attention and is easy to find research on.

Where can I find sample reports? 

Many colleges are offering their students with sample reports. Forums and older students can also be a good source.

How shall a person pen an impressive beginning? 

Commence with a short description of the topic. Also, Don’t forget to say why it is crucial.

What if I don't meet up with the deadline? 

Some universities allow you to submit a paper with a penalty. Check with your institute.

Do institutes accept handwritten assignments? 

Most schools prefer students to submit their work electronically, but it is always good to check the specific requirements.

How can I avoid plagiarism? 

Could you, please, avoid any plagiarism? While writing your text, assure to apply citations for referred material..

Would I be able to get help from someone? 

Sure, but make sure you get the content too.

How should I format my project report? 

You may begin the rectangle. Use proper headers that are easily moved between, bullet points, and also always provide sources for the material you cite.

How should my project report length be?

 It is related to different universities' requirements. Typically, it will be at least 30 pages but no more than 50 pages.

What if I can’t find enough research material?  

You can always check academic papers, pls do remember that! Case studies, and government reports are great resource materials for research. Libraries and online journals are the best way to search for publication when you are handicapped by a small library.

Final Thoughts

Dealing with tasks and documents on projects can be a bit tricky, but they are also useful for study. I failed, but I gained precious knowledge from them. If you are dealing with your SCDL Project Report, IMT CDL Project Report, NMIMS Assignments, or LPU Assignments, then I suggest you take it step by step. Keep your head up, stick to the timeline, and be brave enough to take help when you need it. You got this!

Ultimate Guide to SEO: On-Page & Off-Page Optimization

Introduction

In today's digital era, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) plays a crucial role in improving a website’s visibility and ranking on search engines like Google. SEO is broadly classified into two categories: On-Page SEO and Off-Page SEO. Understanding both is essential for website success. This comprehensive guide will cover all the details you need to know about On-Page SEO and Off-Page SEO to boost your website’s rankings.

What is On-Page SEO?

On-Page SEO refers to the optimization of elements within a website to improve its search engine ranking. It involves optimizing content, HTML code, and site structure to enhance user experience and search visibility.

Key On-Page SEO Factors

1. Title Tags & Meta Descriptions

Title tags and meta descriptions are crucial for SEO as they influence click-through rates (CTR).

The Title Tag should be under 60 characters and include the main keyword.

The Meta Description should be between 150-160 characters and provide a compelling summary.

2. URL Structure

A clean and SEO-friendly URL helps search engines and users understand the page content.

Use short and descriptive URLs.

Include keywords in the URL.

Avoid using special characters and numbers.

3. Keyword Optimization

Keywords are essential for SEO. Use them strategically in:

Title tags

Meta descriptions

Headers (H1, H2, H3)

Image alt texts

URL

4. High-Quality Content

Content is king in SEO. High-quality content should:

Be original and informative

Use long-tail keywords naturally

Provide value to readers

Be at least 1000+ words for better rankings

5. Header Tags (H1, H2, H3)

Header tags structure the content and make it easier to read.

H1: The main heading (should include the primary keyword)

H2 & H3: Subheadings for better readability and SEO structure

6. Image Optimization

Images enhance user experience but should be optimized:

Use descriptive file names (e.g., "seo-guide.jpg" instead of "IMG123.jpg").

Add alt text with relevant keywords.

Compress images for faster loading times.

7. Internal Linking

Internal links help users navigate the site and improve SEO by distributing link authority.

Link to relevant internal pages.

Use keyword-rich anchor text.

8. Mobile Friendliness

With Google’s mobile-first indexing, websites must be mobile-friendly.

Use responsive design.

Ensure fast loading times on mobile.

9. Page Speed Optimization

Website speed affects rankings and user experience.

Compress images and enable browser caching.

Minimize CSS and JavaScript.

Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN).

10. Schema Markup

Schema markup helps search engines understand content better.

Add structured data to enhance rich snippets (e.g., star ratings, FAQs).

What is Off-Page SEO?

Off-Page SEO refers to actions taken outside of your website to improve its search engine ranking. It focuses on increasing domain authority and credibility through external signals like backlinks, social media, and brand mentions.

Key Off-Page SEO Factors

1. Backlink Building

Backlinks (incoming links from other websites) are a critical ranking factor.

High-quality backlinks from authoritative sites boost rankings.

Avoid spammy or low-quality backlinks.

Use guest blogging, broken link building, and outreach strategies.

2. Social Media Engagement

Although social media signals don’t directly impact rankings, they help in indirect SEO benefits.

Share content on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn.

Encourage users to engage and share.

3. Influencer Outreach

Collaborate with influencers to gain credibility and backlinks.

Reach out to industry experts.

Get mentions on high-authority websites.

4. Local SEO (Google My Business)

For local businesses, Google My Business (GMB) is essential.

Optimize your GMB profile.

Get customer reviews and ratings.

Use location-based keywords.

5. Forum & Blog Commenting

Engaging in relevant forums and blogs can drive traffic and backlinks.

Contribute valuable insights.

Avoid spammy link building.

6. Press Releases & Brand Mentions

Getting featured in press releases or online news platforms can increase your credibility.

Submit PR articles to platforms like PR Web, BusinessWare.

Build relationships with journalists.

7. Guest Blogging

Writing articles for other high-authority websites helps in getting quality backlinks and exposure.

Find industry-related blogs accepting guest posts.

Write high-quality and relevant content.

8. Broken Link Building

This strategy involves finding broken links on other websites and offering your content as a replacement.

Use tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush to find broken links.

Contact webmasters to replace the broken link with yours.

9. Podcast & Video Marketing

Podcasts and videos improve brand visibility and SEO rankings.

Publish videos on YouTube with proper SEO optimization.

Join podcasts as a guest speaker.

10. Content Marketing & Syndication

Distribute your content across various platforms to maximize exposure.

Use platforms like Medium, Quora, and LinkedIn.

Repurpose content into infographics, videos, and slides.

how did you make the faq? it's so pretty !!!

hiii, tysm <33 it's the FAQ page that matches my theme, lowlife!! - this are the tag page and about page in case you want them 💕 and since hot girls don't gatekeep, here's is a tutorial in case you know literally zero stuff about codes :) - more tutorials.

remember that you must do it from a computer and you need to have the "custom theme" activated (see this if you don't know how). im gonna do this tutorial in a random sideblog from scratch btw.

disclaimer: don't change anything else but what i mention here, especially if you don't know anything about html and css because, in the codes, any mistake can make the whole code not work. don't touch anything else but what is involved in the design!

as you asked for a tutorial on the FAQ, i will do it specifically for that page, but this applies to the others, as this is how to install pages in general. first, go to the bottom of the "edit theme" until you see "add a page", add one and change "standard layout" to "custom layout". fill in the url with what you want the web address to be (i used "faq" like most people but you can use something else ofc) and you will notice that there's an option that says "show a link to this page" - if you turn that on, this page will be accessible from your homepage and will be next to your askbox, archive, etc. otherwise, it will just show through the link. you can leave it unchecked if you don't want a link to this page next to your ask or archive, but remember to add it manually to your main theme otherwise no one will be able to see it!

now, in another window, go to the installation page and copy all the code and paste it into the tumblr page. with "update preview" you will see how it is displayed without the need to save it (if you're still editing - remember to save it at the end lol).

now you're going to be faced with a situation: tumblr doesn't let you use javascript by default and these pages have javascript. i have two solutions for you. one is to follow this tutorial to ask tumblr for permission to use javascript, and the other is to remove it in case they deny it - which is not usually the case anyway - or take too long, etc. (the only thing that will happen is that you will no longer have the dynamism that the base code has, on these pages not much happens if you remove it, but on others you will need to ask for permission).

to do this, remove the scripts tags: in the second and third picture i pointed out with the mouse which ones they are. JUST remove that and save it to check that the page is visible and everything else is in order.

the page should already be installed and working correctly, now let's make it pretty!!!!! for this part, i highly recommend googling at least the basics of html and css, but i'll explain it from scratch anyway. but you can ask me everything you need hehe.

changing the colours: this is done with the hex codes. if you have a profile picture or header, upload it to this website to see what colours it has if you want them to match.

once you have those colours, you will go to the page and change the hex code for them. the choice of colours is up to you, play with them, change them and see what colour is altered in case you don't understand what is what, but the tags are quite understandable (background, body, accent, etc). remember that if you took out the javascript the "night mode" will not work, so in the next two to "root" (which identify day and night mode) you can change them but leave them the same as each other.

once you have the colour palette, scroll down to the body. there where i pointed out, you can change the shape of the profile picture, the defalut mode if you left the javascript on, whether you want the sidebar to be left or right and whether you want the borders to be solid, or with dashes or dots. as the code itself says, depending on what you want, just change the word that is already there for the change you need.

where it says F.A.Q and "a short description can be pasted here" would be your sidebar (the profile picture changes itself automatically in this one, but in others you have to change it manually with a link) - if you want to match all your pages to your main theme, just paste the description you already have.

you can put a link in your bio, just copy that and change the word "don't" to whatever you want the link to be and change the link.

ask guidelines, as well as within the questions themselves, you can use html tags. <b> and </b> it's bold, <i> and </i> it's italics, <small> and </small> its to make it smaller, or <strike> and </strike> it's to "strike out" the word. remember to put the start tag where you want it to start and the end tag where you want it to end (the end tags are the same but with a /). paragraphs are separated by <p> and </p>, and as the code explains, you can put bullet lists and blockquotes or literally any htlm tag (to change colour, ordered lists, etc). you can also add links (same format as explained in the description)!!!

for the questions and answers, change the first five where it says "question #X goes here" and "answer to question #X goes here", leave the rest the same. if you want more than five questions, at the end you will see something to copy-paste or you can use question #2 through #5 (NOT #1) to copy and paste it under #5 and change the numbers, as well as the questions and answers.

for example, here you should add the number 6 after the #'s and the questions and answers. finally, you can change the sentence that appears at the end of the askbox, you can match it with the one you already have or make it a custom one from the FAQ.

save everything and you have your faq page! hope you found the tutorial useful :) <3

feel free to ignore this if you’re not accepting requests! i couldn’t find an faq or anything before i sent this so i’m sorry just in case <3

tagging 🏷: @ncllcraines

Today was rather a normal day. no killings or anything- well, not yet at least. you’ve been dealing with a lot. school, home, basically everything all together.

Not just that, you’ve been falling behind on college too. one of the teachers suggested you may need a tutor, which you lied and said you didn’t but they gave you one anyways.

And that tutor was Ethan thankfully. having to take care of your siblings was the only thing on your mind at the time. your mom is barely home cause of work. so being the big sister that you are you decided to step in and help.

you had stayed up overnight, working on everything without taking a break. this was a real struggle, your mom and step-dad were alcoholics at once, but then stopped when they realized what damages were happening since your step-dad had a mini stroke.

But other than that everything has been good, but for you? therapy was suggested from your mom.

on some days you were happy, some days sad. randomly out of nowhere you started feeling depressed.

Sleeping habits started changing, you started going asleep around 1:00/3:00 at night and when you’d wake up you’d still feel tired.

Working late shifts, just all of that was bothering you. and you were behind on exams, right now ethan was in your dorm, helping you with your work.

"So, do you know how many bones were fractured? it shows it on…let’s see, page 27. if we go back, we can find the answer on page 20." Ethan said, you sat there sulking.

You really didn’t understand the point of this, "do we have to do this? I understand this is important for my future but-" you were cut off by ethan.

"(Y/n). if you don’t want to finish this oh well, I’m going to help you. you’re going to be successful." Ethan said, you groaned in annoyance and looked back down at the sheet.

A sigh came from his lips, the only thing he wanted was the best for you. he could see how much you were struggling, he could see what you were trying to do.

"Are you sure everything is okay? you’ve been distant lately." Ethan said, when he asked that question you stiffened.

Why was he bringing that up now? nothing was wrong you were just extremely frustrated at the moment.

"I-I’m sorry. did I say something wrong?" asked ethan, you rubbed a tired hand over your face. the stress was evident on your face.

"I think I’m at my breaking point. you know how you just get tired of having to hold everything down all at once? if I’m being honest: I can’t- I…" you trailed off, as much as you were trying to hold your composure.

Then the tears started to fall, ethan wasn’t really shocked though, he knew what you were going through but waited for you to open up about it.

"You’re crying." Ethan said with a frown, he was startled when you wrapped him in a hug, "I’m just tired, ethan. of everything." you told him while sobbing.

"I know, I know. but it’s okay sweetheart, we could just put this to the side and lay down for a bit? if you want." Ethan suggested.

"Actually, that’s a great idea. I need a break anyways." You agreed, Ethan nodded and placed some of the books and sheets on the table.

Arms found themselves wrapping around your waist, maybe this was what you needed, some type of comfort. after all you’ve been dealing with a lot lately.

"Thank you, ethan. for being here." you said, he didn’t reply and instead placed a kiss on your cheek, "Anytime, love."

He was your safe place.

Im so sorry this was short, it was horrible also ik 😭 and this also felt rushed. I might fix some things up here, also if anyone would like to send request go ahead!! my inbox is open :D

Inherited Manor Challenge 2023 FAQs

How do I add the save file to my game? To place the save file, use this link and download the file.

Go to Documents > Electronic Arts > Sims 4 > Saves. BEFORE SAVING MAKE SURE THE FILE NAME DOES NOT MATCH ANY EXISTING FILES. It will be a string of eight numbers followed by .save, such as 12345678.save. If the numbers match one of your existing files, your existing file will be overwritten. You must change the number as adding any extra characters (12345678.save (1) or 123456789.save) to the file will make it not run. You can now load this save when you open your game just like any other saved game you have created. This is not available for console players.

There are people already in the house You loaded into the wrong lot. If you are starting in the Partihaus household with Marcus and Eva, you probably clicked on Resume on the main menu instead of Load Game. The good news is this is the easiest fix ever: simply go to manage worlds and locate the correct lot on the map. Continue as directed.

The lot isn’t damaged! And yes I am on the correct lot If you are playing with the save file without all of the required packs or playing with the gallery download, the burns will not stay. This is very annoying but out of my control, which is why I added alternative rules. You can delete existing furniture before moving in, or after then resetting your money with the money cheat, to “fix” this.

Where do I start? This year there is actually a little more structure to the challenge, so you can use the maps and room descriptions to follow the order I recommend. If you prefer the old way that’s fine too. Actually, let me know which you like better. That would be helpful for the Inherited Manor Challenge 2024.

Can you make a base game version? I did make a base game version alongside the original challenge, and that is still pinned on my reddit page for your consideration. I will probably make another one in the future but not this year.

How do I restore burned furniture? You can replace it when you have enough money, or use the Eco Lifestyle Civil Designer career to unlock the smog vacuum. You may also be able to use spells from Realm of Magic but I am not super familiar with that pack yet.

What is a full bathroom (and kitchen)? A full bath includes a place to bathe, a sink, and a toilet. A half bath will include a sink and a toilet. Sometimes a shower and sink or shower and toilet is called a three quarters bath. Bath math makes no sense. A kitchen should have all cooking methods available: stove, oven, countertop, and microwave (basically no greyed out option on the refrigerator).

How do I get my sim to stop cleaning everywhere? Locking doors and micromanaging is unfortunately the best answer for this. Feel free to add some extra walls and doors temporarily if you need to! But don’t count them towards the Room $$ total.

There’s a dirty spot my Sim can’t reach. Darn, thought I got them all. If you replace the flooring, the burn marks will go away, and you can move any ashes or trash into a reachable space.

I am still confused on how to know if a room is done. Understandable! It’s kind of weird to explain. Let’s take the Carriage House as an example. Once you have all of the required furniture items, go into build mode and click on one of the rooms. If you click on the bathroom, it’s obviously a room of its own, so you’ll see the walls are all highlighted. If you click on the part with the kitchen, or at least where I put it, the room ends at the edge of the platform because the game counts platforms as rooms of their own in most cases, so there will be sort of a ghost wall along that platform edge. Once you have a single room selected, click on the folder icon in the toolbar at the top of your screen and use the Save Room option. This will act like you are going to upload the room to your library or gallery but you don’t have to. All we want is to know what the total cost of that room is. To know if you meet the goal for the Carriage House you’ll add the totals of the bathroom, raised main floor area, lowered main floor area, and second floor together. These room totals will include walls and windows, so if you swapped any of those out that will be reflected, and that way you don’t have to track furniture costs etc.

Bust the Dust is causing serious issues because I can’t clean the next room yet! You have my full blessing to disable the dust system.

Is this the Heir to Ruins challenge? Nope! I didn’t know that challenge existed until I uploaded the original Inherited Manor Challenge so any similarities are purely coincidence.

Stuff is missing! If you are using the gallery download, I deleted all of the burned furniture since it wouldn’t place correctly anyway. If you don’t have all of the packs and stuff is missing like doors, windows, and so on, replace them with whatever you’d like! I know the game replaces most things from unowned packs, but apparently it has not been replacing all of the doors and windows this time around. If you have all of the packs and stuff is still missing, congratulations! You have discovered a new bug! Yay!

I can’t release the spirit to the netherworld! If you are playing with the save file, make sure you are trying to release the spirit using a living sim. Ghosts can’t do that interaction. If you are using the gallery download, ghosts don’t come with the lot, so that interaction isn’t available. You can still rosebud yourself $1000 after placing the urn in your graveyard, though!

Can I make an Inherited Manor Challenge? Be my guest! The main rules are you must go room by room, start with a restricted budget, and burning the house down is basically tradition. Obviously it would be really nice of you to give me the appropriate credit, plus I’d love to see what you make!

Can I stream this etc? Abso-frikkin-lutely. I humbly request you include a link where possible to the main challenge, whether that is this Reddit post or the Tumblr one.

Still have questions?
