Updated: Saturday December 6th.
This page is for files that have now been done. Created and uploaded 9am Sunday November 30th.
Links below now show as excluded by noindex. Removed from dummy1 Saturday December 6th and this page with these 177 links uploaded December 6th.
Links removed from htms year-planner and academic-planner to minimise chance their indexing gets changed. Links moved to pm-book-001.
It seems the http version of the page has been indexed, but on http. Requesting indexing of the http version so that the https canonical would be found seems to have worked.
There isn't a disallow in robots.txt so files can be crawled. The files should therefore gradually get un-indexed and show in Pages as not indexed because of the .htaccess tag.
Some more than 20 years old .doc files were converted to .docx. There were a couple of reasons for doing this conversion. The first and main reason was that these days not everybody has MS Word. Some people download the Word .doc planners and then use third party software such as OnlyOffice or LibreOffice to open the files.
Software such as these have improved significantly over the last couple of years. Prior to that trying to open the more involved files gave all kinds of formatting and shading errors, sometimes rendering the results unuseable. Lately tools such as these work most of the time, but occasional glitches result in errors in the files that look like the files are wrong - they're not.
By chance the answer was discovered: opening a .doc with OnlyOffice led to shading errors. But when that same .doc file was converted to .docx and that file was opened the shading was perfectly as it ws supposed to be. The obvious conclusion was the old .doc files should be converted to .docx.
A benefit of .docx files, apart from the main one that most if not all third paty office software packages can open the files correctly if they're in .docx format, is that .docx file are maybe a quarter of the size of their .doc equivalents. Now, loading time isn't an issue as the files aren't that big anyway, but the .docx files do load a bit faster which is of some benefit.
Updated on Sunday Nov 30th.
The htm that references this one was first indexed around November 22nd.
On Friday Nov 28th the bottom half of the list was switched to the top. The same thing will be done on the ypc dummy pages tomorrow. Re-indexing was requested at 16:34pm. Page shows as having been crawled at 16:34 but does that mean re-indexed?
htms on ypc were indexed on Friday but no indication in Pages list that files have been crawled.
