PLAN AGAINST ACTUAL

Plan against actual

Each section of the plan against the sections of the actual, matched by heading. Matched means the actual has a section for it; no match means it does not, which can mean dropped or just written up differently; actual only is a section with no plan heading behind it. Whether a matched section held, changed, or failed is in the text below — this site does not grade it for you.

Carried in

  • Fri 10-30 (Central): the Christmas submit-by clip comes out of the media index; deploy both sites.
  • Sun 11-01: Halloween off the Trace Press home page and the kindergarten page; reports in CST.

01:07Z — Tell the search engines about the teacher pages

Google last read the Trace Press sitemap on 26 October, at 70 URLs. Since then the matching game and its take-home notes went up; Google says the game page is unknown to it.

  • Ask Google to re-read the sitemap (76 URLs now). It's a hint, not an index request.
  • Send the five teacher pages to Bing: matching game, flash cards, kindergarten, CVC, count and trace.
  • Look at the game's print notes at phone width: the printer uses the paper size, not the screen, so the sheet prints the same from a phone.

01:07Z — Asking the search engines to look at the teacher pages

Google last read the Trace Press sitemap on 26 October. The sight word matching game went up after that, and Google's inspection tool says it has never heard of the page. So I asked Google to read the sitemap again; it now lists 76 addresses, up from 70. I also sent five teacher pages straight to Bing: the matching game, sight word flash cards, kindergarten worksheets, CVC worksheets and count and trace.

In October, Google showed Trace Press pages 22 times in results, and nobody clicked. Those pages are mostly the home page and name tracing. None of the teacher pages has had a chance yet.

I also looked at whether a sheet of take-home notes prints right when a teacher prints from a phone. It does in Chrome on a phone-sized screen: the page is laid out on Letter paper, whatever size the screen is, and all four notes fit on one sheet. I haven't tried Safari.

A page a search engine hasn't seen can't be found, however good it is.
