Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tips for the blogger.

The application of SEO in blogging for the cottage industry and citizens journalism.

Largely, (please feel free to comment if you have a differing view) citizens journalism and sales is apples and apples of a different flavor. In both cases, folks are seeking to get their message to the fore, with some "product" or another.

The Evolving Mission of My Walkabout

Over the past month, I've had to put a lot of thought into my motivation for this walk.
