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.

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."

Win from Narconon – This program has given me my life back

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

This is the kind of personal win one can expect from doing the Narconon Drug Rehab Program

When I arrived here at Narconon, I had lost all hope in life and myself. I was defeated and living on the streets, smoking crack. Being in an abusive relationship brought me so low I felt like I would just rather die. When I was first here I wouldn’t talk to anyone in fear they would hurt me or put me down. I never, in a million years, imagined I could feel so good. This program has given me my life back.

SEO of big drug-rehab site

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

I’ve been working long hours on a large drug rehab site (over 200 pages), taking it out of a Content Management System (CMS) so we can actually optimize each individual page for its keywords; it’s a relatively large project as these things go. It has a ton of drug information to help educate people on the dangers of drugs.

Their CMS system was really getting in the way of doing things like adding a “canonical” meta tag to each page of the site.

Over the years I’ve optimized several smaller drug rehab sites; yesterday I …

Scientific proof that Narconon drug education works to prevent drug use

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

A recent drug education study published in a science journal by a well known behavioral scientist, Richard D. Lennox, and Marie A Cecchini, proves conclusively that the Narconon Drug Education program for high school students drastically reduces drug use among those students.

Congrats to Narconon (one of my clients) for this milestone. The Narconon program has been around for more than 40 years now and has gotten tens of thousands of people off of drugs; now they have conclusive scientific proof that using the drug education materials to educate high school students on drugs will bring …

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

The venerable “The Way to Happiness” Foundation has come out with some new videos illustrating each of the 21 precepts contained in their common sense moral code. That’s the non-religious moral code that is used to teach prisoners and druggies around the world a moral code, in the highly effective Criminon criminal rehabilitation and Narconon drug rehabilitation programs.

The first of the Way to Happiness videos are here.

Germans & Scientology

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

Well, things are getting crazy in Germany again – instead of banning Judaism as they did last century, they are trying to ban the Church of Scientology (which they’ve never recognized as a church despite its religious bonafides) out of pure old-fashioned NAZI-style bigotry.

For the truth about what Scientology is and does, go to www.scientology.org or to some of its many activities for social betterment, such as CCHR or Narconon, or its literacy crusade, or read any of the basic books …

Crack addict – fully recovered

Monday, November 19th, 2007

This success story from a Narconon Arrowhead graduate says reams about the way their program works:
