[WSG] Order of Tags within head (XHTML)
I was advised by an SEO company that : The Title tag should be the first tag in the HEAD area of the web pages, otherwise search engines may overlook it which will significantly damage the rankings. What is the best practice/order for placing tags withing the head section? Any feedback very appreciated.

Re: [WSG] Is it still necessary to encode ampersands?
I just had problems with ampersands in google static maps, where if placing multiple pins in 1 map I had to change markers= to amp;markers=, otherwise wouldn't work at all MM On Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 7:39 AM, Dan Webb libweb...@gmail.com wrote: Hi folks, Years ago, I use to painstakingly and religiously convert to amp; when ever I encountered it (HTML 4.01 Strict doctype). It's still pegged as invalid by the W3C validator, but is it really still necessary these days? What could possibly go wrong in modern browsers? I'm talking specifically here about ampersands in URLs that are provided to me by database vendors, which I have no control over; I'm about to start inserting literally 100s of them into static html pages. thanks, danny boy. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *** -- -- Ing.

Re: [WSG] [at]font-face confusion
Maybe sIFR will help?

I have therefore took to my books/research to look it up but am coming across conflicting information. I am finding information on the internet and in the books that says [at]font-face has been deprecated in css2.1 but have found many references to web fonts for css3 using [at]font-face but with reference to little or no browser support! I wonder if anyone has come across this recently, has a working solution or can advise or clarify?
