Topic focused Brains are ideal for sharing and publishing. They are a great way to enter into the publishing arena on WebBrain.com and are a ton of fun to create.  Here’s how to create a compelling Brain in 6 simple steps.

1. Select the Right Topic: Breadth or Depth?
If you want to attract attention on your blog or webbrain.com choosing a topic that’s engaging is a must. If you are pressed for time and want to publish, keep your topic focused. For instance, instead of mind mapping out the entire history of the United States you could choose a more specific topic  like “the Effect of the Industrial Revolution” or American Entrepreneurs.  Narrowing down your topic will help you avoid any gaping holes in your content and ensure that your Brain covers all key ideas on your subject.

Want to build a Web site without having to worry about how people are going to navigate around it? Would you like to just put your Brain up on your site and have the linked pages show up in an area on your site? This slightly more involved than basic Brain publishing and embedding, but not difficult really. This short tutorial will walk you through everything needed to get TheBrain’s slick navigation, visualization and search up on your site quickly and easily.

To build a Brain and set it up for use as your web site navigator, you will need the following:

• A web site
• PersonalBrain 5
• The ability to edit the source code for the home page of the site
• A basic understanding of HTML, including how to layout a page using div tags

Can Google see my Brain?

Yes, Google (and other search engines) can crawl your Brain and index it for searches, whether you just publish it on WebBrain and even if you embed it on your own site. The only exception is private Brains (obviously) and in some cases unlisted Brains. Keep reading for the nitty gritty details about how this works…
