Tonight, will the first night in a long time, when I will walk out to my car, NOT in total darkness.
Its been a cold, cold day. Nearing 5pm in the office, and it's just starting to get to 'warm'.
Its been a long day of SEO! Filling in forms online, to submit links etc to directories. I now realise how difficult it can be, and why SEO is an art; One, for the theory behind it, and Two, the patience involved in doing it!
Maintaining some twitter accounts throughout the link building has broken it up though.
Tomorrow holds even more SEO for me.But that will be some slightly different stuff injected into my day, to keep me sane!
Luckily...every five minutes or so today, has been 'Quality Street' o'clock! (chocolate never fails and keep everyone chirpy!)

SEO Technician
During my months at Hogtronix as a ‘Tunbridge Wells Web Designer’, I have been on an SEO journey.
To begin with, I barely knew anything, and the three letters meant a little, but not much.
Being constantly introduced to phrases and methods used by our SEO professional (Hogtronix MD) I quickly picked up the basic concepts and used certain techniques when building a range of web based tasks.
So far, I have been involved with on page SEO, specialising in image ALT’s, META descriptions etc, and continued to develop a deeper understanding of SEO as a theory.
Listening to client meetings and phone calls has left me with some (slightly above) average knowledge of other techniques. However, it is now time to push a little further down this route.
I have spent a considerable amount of my placement learning web design and development skills (which, although still needing some improvement as with everyone) I feel more confident than I could ever have imagined when I first started.
I think it goes without saying, that I’m looking forward to learning more about SEO, and getting to grips with getting sites higher up that search engine ladder.

The New Year
Its 2010, and the first few weeks of it have been manic!
Hogtronix MD holiday and heavy UK snow, produced some challenges for me!
I have been maintaining twitter accounts for clients, answering company email, still trying to get project work done! All of the above made slightly harder by the heaviest snow I have seen for some time! Still, we've been busy!
Various large projects completed or nearing completion has kept us smiling!
Its been a testing but enjoyable start to the year, and I'm seeing noticeable increase in my ability to complete work tasks. Aided mostly, by a healthy paranoia for checking work.
Our office, maybe in a really nice part of the countryside, quiet and good for getting work done, but BOY! DOES IT GET COLD!
Ice and snow seem to stick around for twice the normal time down here, and the 1/4 mile driveway becomes an impossible obstacle between the road and the office building!
The past week, I have been busy trying out some new skills in some free time. JQuery, and various CMS scripts amongst them. All of which, I am sure will benefit both myself, and the work I produce for Hogtronix.
All good stuff really!
