I just thought I would quickly update my blog and wish everybody a happy new year. Highlights of this year are (in no particular order)
Whatever you are doing in 2010 I wish you happiness and prosperity.
I’ve been neglecting this site recently. The last thing I did to it was to enable automatic Twitter updates, which is a bit pointless, especially if you follow me on Twitter. I don’t really know what I want to do with this site, but I might just make it a gateway to my social media profiles.
So I have deleted the Twitter posts and some of the older posts that I don’t like too much.
What I might do is to rarely update this blog and create a front page that links through to my social media profiles and other sites. I may even change the site over to Drupal, which I have been doing a lot of work with recently and quite like how it’s put together.
When optimising sites I use a set of search engine techniques that I have dubbed RG (or Really Good) that allow me to keep at the forefront of the search engine optimisation industry. So I thought I would outline a few of the key techniques that I employ under RG.
My search engine strategies are always ethical, but rather than assume that the search engines understand this I employ the ethical meta tag. When I am optimising a site and I want to make absolutely clear that what I am doing is all above board I would use the following tag in the head section of our page.
<meta name="ethical" content="whitehat" />
Other values of the content attribute include blackhat and greyhat, to cover all eventualities.
Rather than having tiny little title tags that don’t describe very much I like to take the approach of creating not just big, but really, really big title tags. This is accomplished by a simple process of copying and pasting the entire contents of a page into the title tag, thus resulting in a keyword rich and relevant title tag.
As you know, there are 6 heading tags (h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6) so rather than do the usual thing of starting with a h1 and working down; I use a dice to decide which heading tag to use. Every time I come to write one in the code we just throw a dice and use whatever value appears. This keeps the content of each page fresh and interesting for search engine spiders.
Rather than actually tell anyone what their search results are I prefer to take a more pragmatic approach. If everyone involved assumes that a site will be either "ranked" or "not ranked" then by not checking we are creating a state of quantum flux. The site is both "ranked" and "not ranked" at one and the same time. If anyone actually checked the results the quantum waveform would collapse, so in order to prevent this I simply ban everyone from Google.
By using these RG techniques (and a few others) I can help you to optimise your site and help you achieve the rankings you want.
I recently came across some startling information about homeopathy dilutions, and as a result of this information I thought I would verify how much water would be needed to directly dilute a solution to 30C.
To answer this we need to look at how substances are diluted in homeopathy. If we take a typical homeopathy cure for insomnia, which happens to be pure caffeine, we would start off by diluting this into 100ml of water.

I thought it was about time for a little change, so I have spent the last few weeks plugging away at a new design for the blog. I really just wanted to move away from the very dark theme and create a white background, with three columns and a blue header. I’m not a designer, but I’m quite happy with the way things have turned out. I have also added in Gravatars for comments to make it a little more social friendly.
