This is only temporary…I was going to use this blog for school but changed my mind.  I’ll still post the first blog here so keep reading but there will be a change sometime this week.

So after doing some research and reading your opinions on the matter, I learned a lot about SEO’s. I agree with Ian, though, about how just having GREAT content can… well, he said it better, “you can enhance what you have through other rules of semantic markup, linkage, and keywords, but all of these issues can be addressed by simply generating the kinds of information that draw people to you.”  Basically, great content.  Very nice Ian and very true.

The internet is BEYOND HUGE!!!  That alone makes it almost impossible to get your website up-front and center for users to find, let alone, enjoy.

You seriously need to make sure you just PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE your art form of writing code; have great semantics, perfect it.  Make sure you ALWAYS validate your code; one little mistake can make a huge difference, I’m sure we all know this.

Here’s a good article:

Update(9:37 pm 3/5/10):  NEVER MIND!!! I GOT A CLIENT!! WOO!!!

So I have to create a website for a REAL WORLD CLIENT and I don’t have anyone so far. Now, if I know you personally and we’re friends then I can’t make your site. You need to be a complete stranger to me. Teacher said so. Emailing is the best way to get in contact with me: ktmartinez1986@gmail.com

MOVING!!!!

April 4th, 2010 by Katie received 2 Comments »

Ugh!! I’m exhausted from moving this weekend.  School finished 2 weeks ago, thank God, I needed the break, but then this week, I moved in to our new house and after I’m done writing this, I’m going to rest in my new bedroom.  Wanted to type this before that since it’s been, what, over 2 weeks since my last post.

Anyhow, I finished my flash homework and it turned out great!!  Still needs some more tweaking but maybe I’ll post it for you to look at and let you know through facebook.

This break was too short.  Tomorrow I go back to school and won’t have another break till June!  I know and I’m not even done moving yet.  We still have to fix up the old house and then sale it…I’m going to have to skip out on sleep for a while.

Anyhow, my beds calling; TTYL!  :mrgreen:
