Something extra you can do… humanize the web. It may not be great for SEO, or get you noticed by popular bloggers, but it’s a nice touch to remind us all we are humans, writing to other humans.
You can create a plain text file easily. Just type it into your version of Notepad. With my Linux PC I use Mousepad. Type in the text as they show on the site, add your own information, of course. Then save the file with the human.txt name. You shouldn’t need to type in the file extension. Save this to your desktop. Then load it to your domain. It should show up at the link yourdomain.com/human.txt If you have any trouble double check the file name, make sure it is humans with the txt file extension.
This is a direct link to the human.txt file I made.
From the Humantxt site:
It’s an initiative for knowing the people behind a website. It’s a TXT file that contains information about the different people who have contributed to building the website.
The internet is for humans…
We are always saying that, but the only file we generate is one full of additional information for the searchbots: robots.txt. Then why not doing one for ourselves?
