So, just when I thought my brain was going to explode from all the input about metatags, java script and SEO tips.... I find this site! Wow! All the stuff I've spent hours researching and trying to understand.. in one place!
I've read through a few posts and thought should say my piece.
I first started surfing the net in 1990. Have I ever seen a lot of evolution. (Compuserve...came with my "State of the Art" Tandy RL1000!)Yeah, way back, when a window was just something to through your computer out of....
If anybody understands the importants of Browser compatibility, its me! My dinosaur computer, already a crash-a-holic, never liked IE nor NN... Having a wopping 16MB ram,155 mhz, dialup at 28800 et al, the new upgrades were out of the question. Two weeks ago I was net-reborn.I downloaded Opera 6. I feel like I have a new computer and DSL. Most people can't even beleive I can even get on the net with my system, let alone do all the other things I do.
It took a lot of tweeking. Now, thanks to Opera, my computer is "The Little Engine That Could".
SO now, I endeavor to "save the world" hehehe. Ah, well, if I can just save one business from a web page crash & burn... it will have all been worthwhile. lol.
Oh, about my nickname. My personal motto is;
"If you're not living on the Edge, you're taking up too much room"
My Web Design Beef of the Day:I find it quite funny when I see unsavy consumers talked into 500kb index pages with 5 major javascripts, 3 popups and 48 pics... not even touching on the stupid keywords, 2% text to html....blah,blah..
Feel free to respond to my comments, give me suggestions, start a betting pool of the exact date I will crack, or just tell me to get a life. :)

> just tell me to get a life.

Get a life, and when you do, find out if your life has a sister, hehehe

Welcome. Like you, I've spent the past couple of weeks wishing I had found this place months and months ago.

kevinpate...trust me you would be pushed over the edge!
JOAT....being generous? my family bets on boxing day...
lawman....
OK, you are good.
I've been here all of a couple of hours and you've uncovered one of my biggest character flaws..... jump first, look later. Ha. Well, fortunately for me, that flaw have broken more boundaries than it has gotten me in trouble. I was the kid in school who skipped the instructions and jumped in to experiment.
But I take heed in my mistakes.... going to read now....
Thanks all for the warm welcome...you haven't heard the last of me,though you may wish you had.lol :)
