Hello all, Ok. How long has everyone been sitting in the corner laughing histerically outloud at my "web site"? When did it become all one word and why didn't I notice?

I get busy and so focused on one thing that the rest fades away into the background. Sometime in the past few weeks, I began to notice use of the single word website where I have been using two words.... web site. I see it as a site on the web so that's the way I refer to it. I guess this is pretty insignificant to the big picture but it really makes me feel like a dork...:-) You can still laugh if you like.... laughing is good for the soul and I'm happy to provide the entertainment.

Back to the keywords, I did a little more reading yesterday. I'm trying to get my brain wrapped around the site promotion thing. I still have plenty of products to get out there but I'm trying to think ahead.... sometimes easier said than done. I have a week off from my regular J-O-B. My goal this week is to rest, relax and spend some quality time with my WEBSITE (there, all one word, are you happy now?).

This weekend I received a book called Online Success for Non-Techies. I ordered it from my hosting company, and, as part of my package. I figure it's a place to start. Yesterday, while visiting the in-laws, we all sat on the screened in porch with our respective morning beverages and reading our respective morning brain food. For my in-laws, it was the Sunday paper. For me, it was all about keywords and organizing myself to get this site running like it should be.

I made it through almost half the book and I found it to be full of good common sense advice about how to get started. Most of this I have done so I noted a few things I should go back and do. He talks a lot about keywords and how to know what the right keywords are. I have to admit, I thought I had a good idea what these were all about. After reading this portion of the book, I now have a game plan about how to be sure my keywords are accurate to my site. The book outlines a very methodical way of determining keywords... I like methodical.

Guess I better get started on my week "off work" here... or is it "offwork"? Question everything.

Till nexttime,

Sandy
