I’ve never been a big fan of CSS. No real reason, it just seemed like such a PITA. And it is really, let’s be honest. BUT I’m working on a site for a client and they want it mostly CSS. More search engine friendly and all. I know enough CSS to fill a shot glass. [...]

A client of my client recently had me make their site Search Engine friendly. Was quite an interesting project. I had never really looked into SEO, and SES stuff before. Gave me a chance to get a little insight into how the search engines work in relation to dynamic sites. We used <cf_fake_url> to accomplish [...]

Print Servers!!
