Thanks for that little gem, Luke. I was kind of hoping for advice on the best way to learn more about SEO, and the most up todate techniques. I got a bit depressed when I googled SEO, and the first 50 or so results on what I searched for had dates in 2005. I feel sure that SEO has changed since 2005. Maybe it hasn't. And my site is out of date and is being upgraded. Those errors you refer to are a result of the WYSIWYG inline editor I used on my AFPv3.1 CMS. It's since been brought up to date and on the AFPv4.0CMS's I'm installing for clients the results are up todate and much more compliant. I'll upgrade my own site when I get time, but paying work takes precedence over non-paying work in our household. Thanks for pointing it out. Just what I needed.

HI, The internet is a great resource. You won't get a certificate from it, but you will learn. btw your site has 62 validation errors, even transitional XHTML doesn't like href=http://afpwebworks.com/Index.cfm?pid=111125 with no quotes on the attribute. also <font> id deprecated. Cheers Luke Mike Kear wrote: I'm sorry if this is off topic. I think it crosses over standards because it relates in a way, I hope you'll be a bit forgiving to me... I need to upgrade my Search Engine Optimisation skills. I've had quite good success at getting good rankings for my clients with attention to standards, good practices with design and coding, but I feel I need to know more about SEO and ought to update my skills in this area. I need to learn more about current techniques and become more skilful at the techniques I use. So I'm asking for your advice. What's the best way for me to update SEO skills?
