    1. What is Google Search Console
    2. Connect your website to Google Console in 5 steps:

    What is Google Search Console?

    Google Console is a very helpful tool to understand the performance of your websites. It helps you in tracking the page wise report. It is different from Google Analytics and supplements the GA analysis by providing more granular content.

    I am sharing a screenshot of Google console for you to understand:

    Figure: Google Search Console

    Coming to the main topic.

    Connect your website to Google Search Console in 5 steps:

    Step 1: Go to Google Search console homepage

    https://search.google.com/search-console

    Step 2: Enter your website address in the Domain tab (left side)

    Step 3: You will reach at below step. Copy the TXT part. This needs to be entered into your DNS (Domain Network System) configuration.

    Step 4. How to paste the TXT record into your DNS configuration.

    I will explain with example of Hostinger, because my domain is being managed by Hostinger. Please note that Hostinger is not my domain registrar but it provides built in interface for making any changes in DNS records. For other cases, please visit your registrar. In case you do not know your domain registrar please visit this link: https://lookup.icann.org/en

    Now for Hostinger, go to https://hpanel.hostinger.com/

    hpanel is the platform through which various services are provided at Hostinger platform.

    Go to Domains.

    Then Go to DNS/Nameservers. From here you can manage your DNS records.

    As per the Google Console instruction, for verification we need to create a TXT record and paste the content given at Console page.

    This can be done by selecting “TXT” type from Manage DNS records section. Add TXT text in “Points to” section and then click “Add Record”

    Step 5: After you have created the TXT records into your DNS records, go back to Search console page and click Verify.

    You will be able to see that your property verification is complete and you can see the analysis through console.

    I hope you will be able to connect your website with Console easily now.

  • “The Merge”-What is happening in Ethereum world and why you need to know?

    Ariana

    •

    1. What is “The merge”:

    In simple words it means: Moving Ethereum network from proof of work (PoW) concept to proof of stake (PoS) concept through a merging of two blockchains.

    The two blockchains which are going to be merged are:

    1. Mainnet blockchain
    2. Beacon blockchain


    2. Two types of system:

    The ethereum blockchain that individuals use is known as “mainnet,” as recognized differently from the “testnet” blockchains that are utilized simply by designers. In December 2020, ethereum engineers made another chain called the beacon chain. The beacon chain is basically the new ethereum.

    The beacon chain is a proof-of-stake chain that has been moving ahead in disconnection since its creation year and a half ago. Validators have been adding blocks to the chain, however these blocks have contained no information or exchanges. Fundamentally, it’s been put under different stress tests in front of the much anticipated day.

    The Merge will see the data and information held on ethereum’s mainnet moved to the beacon chain, which will then, at that point, become the prime blockchain on ethereum’s organization. In the anticipation of the Merge, ethereum designers have been stress testing the new blockchain by running information and exchanges through it on different ethereum testnets.

    3. Proof of stake vs Proof of work difference

    Mainnet works on proof of work concept. In this the new blocks on blockchain are created after miners have solved a complex puzzle. This is an extremely energy intensive process and hence PoW model has been criticized for being environmental unfriendly. In today’s world when there is too much focus on fighting climate change, PoW system is unsustainable in long run.

    Proof of stake is a sort of agreement method used to approve digital currency exchanges. With this framework, holders of cryptocurrency can stake their coins, which gives them the option to really take a look at new blocks of exchanges and add them to the blockchain.

    This strategy is an alternative to proof of work, the primary agreement instrument used for cryptocurrencies. Since proof of stake is substantially more energy-productive, it has gotten more well known as consideration has gone to how crypto mining badly influences the environment and climate.
