Blogs can be an inspiration to try many new things: not least, modern coding and table-free design. This site is intended to help you deal with these and other challenges facing today's commercial webmasters.

But now there is no excuse to be delivering flabby, overweight pages which are expensive to maintain and that cost points with the search engines.
Blogs are not an “Open Sesame” to floods of search engine traffic. But they can be rich producers if you work on your content, have patience and optimize your site as much as possible. Here are some pointers to get you started in the right direction.
Ultimate Tag Warrior is an extremely useful plugin for enhancing site usability, search engine appeal and a must for inclusion in directories such as Technorati. UTW offers a host of usage and format options which can be initially intimidating but it is actually simple to install and configure. Although checking out what the options can do may be a little time consuming, the good news is that you are not likely to break your site in the process.
