Quick SEO Tip
I didn’t think I’d ever need to explain this because it seemed pretty obvious but a recent conversation at Snark proved otherwise…
If you want to be listed in Google with your name (or any other word for that matter) you must include that name/word on your website. Search engines/spiders aren’t psychic and won’t be able to list you for a word that basically doesn’t exist to them. Even better is encouraging people to use that same word in link text back to your website: in button alt text as well as plain text links.
Warning
This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.
As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.
Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.
