Heya, as requested by Ana I'm forwarding here a suggestion I made on #-publicity yesterday: let's change the page title (as in html <title> element) of bits.d.o into something that mentions "debian blog". My suggestion is "Bits from Debian - the official Debian blog". Rationale #1: given that the blog FQDN is not something people would be able to guess offhand, we really want it to rank first (or anyhow before planet.d.o, I think) in search engines when people search "debian blog"; changing the page title will help with that. Rational #2: it seems a more precise and telling title anyhow. While I was at it, I also suggest to change in the about page the mention "this is an official Debian blog" with "this is the official Debian blog". Attached you can find patches against debbits/debbits.git that implement the 2 above proposed changes.
