Working on Gloves in a Bottle site

Been too busy to write much. Mostly working on this site: http://www.glovesinabottle.com - which is now done. I took the site from a five-year old design into the modern era, out of tables and into CSS. It all validates against the W3C standards, too, because I didn’t want to have any problems with the site in the search engines. I am trying to get it to rank highly for the phrase “dry skin” - and I put enough content about that phrase into the site to make that ranking likely. The only thing missing is links TO the site from other sites, for a higher page ranking. Even so, the pages are mostly a 5 page rank as they stand now - those rankings will be updated with the next Google Dance and I am curious about where they will rank then. I tried to keep the pages named the same from the old site to the new site, but some of them required redirection as the pages simply don’t exist any more.

	You've found the blog of Jere Matlock, a web designer and writer. This journal is mostly about writing, web design and getting sites to the top of the search engines (SEO is my business). It is also full of opinions and observations about pretty much everything. If these things are not of interest to you, feel free to go now. Go on, shoo! Still here? If you have something to say, post a comment or send me an email. To subscribe to my feed, use this button: By the way, if you feel like taking offense at something posted on this site, go right ahead, it won't bother me a bit. Kingsley Amis has a nice quote about that, in which I take solace and some pride when the flames arrive: "*If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing.*" \| \| \| \|
