I guess this was a dumb question? I'm not ashamed, as this is my first forum and one of my first websites altogether. I can handle the code, though, and I'm determined to expose my forum posts to google in some way. Perhaps it is already and it just takes some time, but I suspect this is not the case. Any point in the right direction would help as I am having trouble finding any information about it.
I have some really vague ideas of what needs to happen... I might need to create some kind of index when google comes looking or somehow provide some instruction to robots that visit. I'll keep looking and when I realize what it is I'm looking for, I'll be sure to post what I discovered. Of course, I'll keep checking back in the meantime for any pointers.
Thanks to the creators. It works great so far...
