Spent most of the day typing away again.... At least there was no snow today falling from the heaven
Still cant believe it snowed in the desert..........
Just writing and writing and styling old client sites all day long....
I wish there saw more to talk about today, but i'm tired of typing

Desert White Out
Historical Day here for ME
I saw my first snow in Las Vegas....granted I moved from a place where I thought I was getting away from snow, but in a year and a half it found me, damn......
So freezing on the outside and working in a cold office building on the inside, today was a chilling display of a Monday to say the least....
Haven't been doing a lot of designing recently, more writing a lot of content for previous clients and getting them in a better ranking situation...
Although today I am working on a design of a new site with content, they are an existing client just doing an upgrade to there account
Timberland Hardwood Flooring Company in Kent, Washington
The site is not complete, the content is and it does link to their original site, but I am not complete with the style, should have that done in the morning if I make it to work on the treacherous roads of Las Vegas with ice and wet conditions....frankly the way people drive around here it scares me....
It's going to be a rough commute in the morning... ugh

I've Been a Slackin
Okay so I have not written a blog in awhile, and I have had a lot of things happen in the past month and i just haven't been too expressive...
But since I have been away from you for so long and I am sure that all of my 1 internet followers have missed my comments and rants, I am back writing this to you...
Designed quite a few sites since I last posted
All Licensing Sites
I will post the links later, some are not all complete yet

Election Day
The whole office is in a buzz on this election thing...
I did vote and it is important to me, but it cool hearing all these young voters talking about real issues.....
Anyways being distracted for some of the day I was able to concentrate enough on doing what I needed to get done today....
Finished a few Licensing sites today and got done with content on a rework, but had issues getting it uploaded this afternoon...
Links to follow....

Monday's are the Devil
So tired and ready to leave right now....just been a day that has dragged on.... I don't know what it is....
Worked on a couple of licensing sites today and got handed a new client site to build / mirror like original site....
Just trying to get all these licensing sites plus getting hand new things gets everything off task for me sometimes...I spent most of the morning on Licensing and then started on the new site...
Should have it finished in the morning tomorrow...just need to create a form and add some style to the very bottom of the site.....

Back to Licensing
Got a huge stack of Pink folders this morning, oh joy to me....
A lot of them I have been "told" are quick and painless, but I take it all with a Tablespoon of Salt!!!
We shall see if next week will be heaven or hell......
Worked one today and looked through another one and not too bad, have to go through a lot of content and generalize it, but nothing major.....
Week had it's bumps early in the week, but are smoothing out pretty nicely now.....
Tomorrow is Friday and that makes me Happy....im outta here
Check out a few sites I did today

Wednesday Blurb
Got back and finished that mirroring today for Genewize..(see previous blog)
Today was a day of mainly working on returned accounts... usually just minor problems although mirroring a site exactly the way of the clients is a little tedious.....
Worked mainly today on some content changes and fixes, I am so glad I got my college degree so I know good grammar and can actually form sentences without the help of wikipedia.org......
Pretty much just been grinding away at content fixes, nothing too exciting on the home front today

Redesigning the Process
I actually did my first new SEO build using the new way of doing the Federline........
It took sometime to get adjusted to all the style changes but honestly since this was an easy mirror, i think it went rather smoothly... I just know that MLMs change their sites frequently and it become a challenge to keep up with the mirror....
Also this was a new MLM I haven't seen before called Genewize
Interesting on how many ways there are of online marketing businesses....
Other than that worked content and have a fairly uneventful day at work.....

Friday Waster
Today is the last day of this ghoulish week... it's not even Halloween yet and I am making references.....
I really don't think this week was as hard as weeks in the past, i just guess it just felt long, i am glad it is the weekend and I can have a weekend to recharge my batteries... (or not) TBD

Content Time
Spent a lot of the day reworking on the new content standard...
It took a minute to figure it all out and with so much changing from the way we worked on the sites content in the past to how it is today really makes it a long process to go back and redo a lot of the content that used to be...including bolding of keyword differently and structuring paragraphs differently....
It's just getting more challenging to quickly complete things but I think once it becomes a standard it should become easier
Time will tell on this....

Well, I have been writing content all day long and pretty tired of typing so more to follow tomorrow...
Goodbye and Goodnight

Friday Waster
I mainly worked on redesigning old Licensing account as I have been doing for as long as I remember....I feel good doing these sites all the time and I get to really try to work on my design skills, due to not having any original sites to go off of. At times however this can be a challenge as the week goes on I seem to loose more and more of my creativity...I don't know why this is, but when you do like 5 sites from the same area there is only so many different color choices you can choose from....
Oh well, it is Friday and this week has come and gone so till next time I wish you adieu

Redesigning the Licensing SEO
Spending a lot of the time designing Licensing sites and making sure they are transferred into the correct demo....
Nothing to major of a job, I have however been going along with a lot of the design changes that are happening in our other SEO projects....
I do like this freedom to design from no original site however, though I do have to stay in the boundaries of the Federline Template... I still feel a sense of total creativity on the color schemes and designs....
Today I worked on the designs on an Hawaiian Real Estate licensing site which still needs images in content, I will get to that tomorrow, I also and currently working on a new color scheme design and content addition to an San Diego Real Estate licensing site as well....(don't mind the off colors on the site, still in progress!!)
Saishu Hane is going to commit Harry Carry today, for the guilt of rebelling against 'the Slanier'!!!!

I Am Licensed to Write Content
Got new commands from Charlie today, I am fully operational and in charge of licensing.... of course others in my platoon will help style the battle plans, but i am in charge of communicating the task at hand...I am that guy!!!!
The battle plan today was to take over real estate in St. Louis....the natives are restless and do not like our presence there but I feel that the plan must be carried out for the survival of this mission...their are 51 obstacles involved to complete this mission, but this is no video game boys and girls, this is "website war"
Take a gander at the battle plan and enlist today for the fight......THE SHU DEMANDS IT OF YOU TO COMPLY!!!!

Today's Word of the Shu: "Enjoyment"
But really has today been an 'ENJOYMENT' day? Well I did spend the majority of my day here designing two sites....so that was 'ENJOYMENT'...
I also had the pleasure of scanning documents...
I guess this day was filled with mild 'ENJOYMENT' for the most part but in the end it all must end with me hitting the proverbial wall around 4pm....
I know why I hit this wall, it was my fault and I am fighting through it, thus why this blog is maybe a little off subject at this point....
I guess a lot of my 'ENJOYMENT' today starts with the whole design thing..it is refreshing to be actually styling sites all day instead of writing content all day....total 'ENJOYMENT'!!!
Designing Licensing sites is different then doing a client site, because you really have nothing to base your idea off of and no original company to design after so...but at the same time it also heightens my 'ENJOYMENT' as Shu would say......
Regardless it hasn't been a bad day, just a self doing long day...so I am going to finish this Mountain Dew I am sipping on, pure 'ENJOYMENT' (sorry had to get that one it...) and get back to designing this Mortgage site for the Licensing program.
Till Tomorrow make sure tonight is full of 'ENJOYMENT'

Ugh...Dreamhost
I got totally frustrated with Dreamhost today, trying to find all these sites that are on this hosting and transfer them .....
Most of the sites are done a long time ago and are very out of date with today's practices...
First the hosting site keeped timing out on me, but that is nothing new with Dreamhost and it just was a struggle finding all the files to tranfer trying to keep content and style from the original site....
I dont know how I am going to make it through tomorrow...lol
I began today working on one of the more complex sites that needs a complete facelift....that is going to take a while writing content and styling site, kind of like doing basically new clients....oh well atleast I will be busy tomorrow

New Mexico Real Estate
Pretty much writing this blog to create publicity for this site... I did on New Mexico Realty....
This site is built to attract consumers to the area as well as actually real estate agents.....
All I had to do is make generalized informational content on the areas and try to attract consumers looking to move to New Mexico......
Looking for some feedback on the design of the site, I did not use traditional flag colors of red and yellow because personally I am against those too colors together in the shade of the state flag, so I chose a nice desert color scheme to make it relevant....

Friday Blog
A long week has come to an end.....and much has been completed there is still a lot to work to come in the next couple of weeks.....
I dont really mind much of the reworks, most are redesigns and transfers....but writing a lot of content can get very stressful at times and sometimes makes it hard to focus....not saying this in a negative way it's just tiring..also never seems to be enough time once you really get going in the day...
Wrote content today on Carpet Plus a carpet and flooring company out of Orange County, California....
Not bad on writing it is just like the finish line is not getting any closer...
This morning I finished an insurance site for Leroy Van Brunt....actually very pleased with how his site came out and mirrored their Original site....
Well it is Friday and I have another blog to post so ...be safe, have a great weekend and I will write something for you to read on Monday........

Blogging for Patriotism
Spent a lot of the day working as hard as I could that the client sites all blended together....

Simply Amazing....
Completed a new account today where the mirroring of the site was a bit tricky....
The client was a cruise to cash marketer and the site actually was not that bad, I have seen worse....
I mirrored his business to Amazing Vacation Values
Took some time to mirror, but thought I made the site still capture what the objective of the company is......
Had my 1 year review today and I am still writing to you so that is a good thing...lol
Time to go, Tuesday has dragged away forever

Shoddy Keywords and Content
Having to complete all these reworks is becoming incredibly more tedious by the account...I realize how ridiculous some of these accounts got in the past 6 months...what I mean by this is not in the work or content, but in the keywords that were generated for each of these accounts....I do understand why we use a lot of the words, but they are nearly impossible to try to rank and that is making these reworks happen.....
The only problem I have been running into with adding new keywords to the account is that to get rankings you have to come up with words and phrases that are not necessarily common to the subject matter of the site and then that actually does more harm than good.... if no one is typing in the keywords then the site will never get discovered even though it is ranking on the 1st page....
I did however finish one rework today Enchanting Honeymoons
This site I did not per say add keywords to the account I just elaborated on the existing keywords and made the paragraphs more enriched...

As the Content Spins in my Head
I am so tired of writing today, wrote a lot of added keyword content to a few sites today and I am just done with it....of course two of the sites are about the same thing so it is like repeating myself over and over again and that is just tiring to say the least....
I added around 1000 words to this site for Global Alliance Team
I really can not explain why it might have taken me so long to write except coming up with the keywors was the hardest part....not because it is hard to come up with original keywords I mean I write about this stuff, but using existing keywords and making them better without changing them (i.e) localization is the hardest part but you have to find the right way to say the local place or find the best local city to use.....it gets a little rough, then you have to come up with original content which is not like the other content already on the page which can be pretty repetative.....
But in the end I got done with a couple of the sites, have a few more left for tomorrow but will do my best to close out the week on a good note.........
***Picture is just where I would like to BE!!!!***

Ahh...Doesn't Everyone Love Weddings... :-/
Just completed a site for Gail Francine Photography
Very unique site on wedding photography, not unique in the content unique in the look...I mirrored an original site she had so colors were not my choice...
I do find it to appeal to women mostly and playing of the phrase "Romance as Seen Through a Womens Eyes"
I can see the mass appeal to attracting women / bride's to hire her for their wedding...it works and I hope the site is something that she likes and will help her attract business in the local San Diego area....

Labor Dayz
Well it is now time for a 3 day weekends....yeah
Today I wrote a lot of content and started styling a rework site
I didn't not do any changes to the content site, but the styling already looked pretty good so I just rewrote the content for Paragon
Working on style for a Cruise to Cash site it is not complete so if you visit it you will see the beginnings of the styling....

Creating a Buzz in Now Orleans
Basically having to do so much to the new sites and making them a mirror image of the original or just making it better takes time...with imagery and style....Getting back to working on content for Platinum Realty this afternoon, trying to get it done but it has been hard to write a lot of more content.....
Just a time consuming day where time just seemed to fly by today, I didn't think I was working that slowly on the Realty site, but i just took time to do well....

Platinum New Destinations in Federline
Installed first new template in a while now....I couldn't remember how long it had been since I had done a fresh new client, mainly work on reworks and inhouse projects.....
Also installing a new wrinkle in the templates as in form of page curls.....
Platinum One Destinations is a hard site to mask with the pictures and colors...I had to mirror the site without the use of the direct template that is used on their site, so a little difficult but I believe I did a good job to pull it off.....

MLM Reworkings
Today was a day of adding content and reworking some MLM clients to improve on rankings....I am working on making the beginnings of the site more attracting to readers because the goal of these sites are to make the visitor click on to the main site.....I feel that MLM sites may not need to follow the traditional structure of other sites due to they need the attraction to go along with the service that they provide......
Blue Sky Creative did not need much work, good site with just come content issues that have been fixed....
Passprt to Wealthy needed something more so adding a heading tag phrase and picture to the top of the page along with good solid content in the beginning of the site will add to the attraction of the site....
Thank God Monday is OVER!!!!

Prudential Webwork
I did spend a lot of time today working on a particular rework, I had not intended on doing so but first, the styling did not even come close to mirroring the original site and I thought the original site was decent enough that the timberlake should mirror it.....
Prudential Carolinas Realty is the site and i think it is going to get back....
I did however work on more reworks as well adding content and keywords to client sites....I think today was just one of those days where a lot of things just got chaotic...it is Friday and maybe my brain just was tired today.......
Second, the content was a mess, so I cleaned it up a bit and added some keyword enriched sentences to the content to make it stand out more....hopefully this will do the trick in getting it back to where it needs to be in ranks.......

Simple put Wednesday's Blog
Reworking my agenda every other day is very stressful...granted the work today was not terrible but no the less, when you are working on a project then get pulled away from it right in the middle of being "creative" then it is frustrating.... but I had a couple of reworks I am completing.....styling is done for sites on Platinum Realty and Albeeadventures......though the content still needs tweaking...so I will have both site completed in the morning.....

Creativity Burn
I got the site done today and then got told I needed to do more with it....but in doing what I did within the structure of the Timberlake CSS I am limited unless I do into the skin and rewrite the html and reorder it...and if I am going to do that I might as well just start from scratch....So I spent a lot of this afternoon looking at template designs so I can get an idea of what might look appealing and professional. ...
Just one of those days.......
Oh also I am on my 4th stint of quitting to smoke....I wish I could say today with smoothly but no....all I can say is that I am starting to feel bad and I got a bet with my uncle so it's on and I will be strong....

Fustrating Federline
In the process of using a new admin backend to host and create or templates and let me tell you, with all new admins...so many bugs and tweaks to go through and just a little bit stressful .....
We need to get a certain number of new accounts done this week and with going through this trail and error it is taking so long to complete each client......
It just made things frustrating today for everyone, I could tell... I can't wait for like two weeks from now when everything is debugged and tweaked.....so done with today!!!!
Thank God tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!!

Rework Haven
Been working today on transferring some of our older clients on to our new admin.... For those who are lost by that statement we are basically changing our template on our websites and moving our older clients to the new design.....
Thought this would not be such a hassle but it is turning into one....just some minor live errors which are being corrected and will be fixed in no time, so no worries...just taking a little bit longer to do this and thought I would have more done today.... but the week is not over yet and I feel with all the live problems getting de-bugged the process will only become faster and less tedious......
I would put examples of some of the clients but might wait till the live testing is done before I show you some examples......
So on that note I do sometimes bitch about the insurance sites but somedays they are less of a headache than everything else...but I feel that in a week or so none of this will matter.....
I will tell you that the new template will be an upgrade to the old one and is quite impressive in the new look, also easier for us admin people to create the sites so I am happy about that......

Insuring Insurance Knowledge
This morning I finally reached the finish line in the state of Pennsylvania.....No more working on the site..yea I hope it begins to rank, I will know next week to the day.
Began the rest of the morning working on New Jersey Insurance....don't mind the content it is a mess, thus the reason why I am working on it now.... :) I have finished however with the styling of the new insurance site, mirroring it to the Official State site of New Jersey which is quite nice, the website that is....I'm sorry if I offend any NJ native but honestly the only good thing about your state is the 24 hour haven known as Atlantic City....oh and WhiteCastle!!!!
This afternoon to my surprise I got handed a new site and.......wait for it....................wait for it..............AN INSURANCE SITE!!! Wow, and of course it happened to be my second least favorite site Texas....uggghhh....but I decided to work it anyways, this time I had content written for me..."TFG"!!!!!!!!!!....and I am working on the style know also to mirror the Official State site of Texas....because professional insurance sites should atleast be relavent to the state colors...right!!!??? I just don't want to miss the memo on that one................
So as you can tell I might become an insurance agent in another venture, but for now I am so sick of it ......till then

Scranton Eggs
The recent claim to fame for this rural town in Pennsylvania is a hit NBC Sitcom called "The Office"
Wikipedia:
"The city has made numerous appearances in popular culture, notably as the setting of current NBC sitcom The Office. Video of the city filmed by cast member John Krasinski's friends is featured in the opening theme. The program makes frequent references to actual attributes of Scranton and the surrounding area, including the Mall at Steamtown, Farley's Pub, Poor Richard's Pub, Montage Mountain, The Scranton Anthracite Museum, and Lake Wallenpaupack. In a February 2006 episode, Steve Carell's character Michael Scott describes New York City as "Scranton on acid. No, on speed. No, on steroids." In a November 2006 episode called "The Merger", Scott creates an orientation video titled "Lazy Scranton" (a parody of "Lazy Sunday") in which he highlights many popular Scranton attractions. Also many local items are placed around the office like a quilt with the University of Scranton's logo on it, a Froggy 101 bumper sticker (local radio), and bobble head dolls from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons."
I used this to show pop culture in a small town that to be quiet honest maybe a lot of people did not even know the city existed.....
There is more to Scranton then just the home of a fictional Sitcom, Scranton was founded in 1776 and became an iron and steel meca in the mid 1800's....Nearby Danville PA....started becoming recognized with the Railroad industry and had a well known Canal company formed in the area for railroad travel.....
Like I said I am still writing this content on the history but I always find history to be amazing....amazing in what people invent and create without a blueprint for knowing what will happen.......

Constructing the Construction
Adding pictures and content to Republic Construction website...I have figured out a long time ago that this is a never ending job, always reworks and changes like a revolving door...So you might think a site is done with, but actually it is only temporarily satisfying the client till they want changes.....
The positive about this is that as time goes on, you learn new things, new ways and better design....then when you go back and look at a site you once worked, you can laugh at yourself and really improve on a site....I know it all comes with experience and practice...so I feel like I can do so many more things now designing websites then from before...and I am applying them everyday....
I am still learning how to do things everyday, but it is a nice feeling when what took you like 2 days to do, will now only take you like 3hours.....so nice....

Liberal Suit Larry
The adventures of Gochek and his pending lawsuit from this liberal blog...The Liberal Forums
My buddy is a strong right wing conservative and stumbled onto this forum to comment on today's political issues concerning us all.... He is very opinionated and enjoys forcing his views on others... it is fun for him... watching him do this today was comical to me and i just had to explain it...
Getting back to my adventures I spent this entire day fixing changes on a client website...from designing new content and images to creating a new php form for contact from prospective clients...I really did not think it was going to take as long as it did, but I am glad to say that it is done and I am rather pleased with this site, pertaining to the limited content and direction to go on...Marketing Company...
Anyways going back to try to get something productive done before the end of the day in an hour....
Want to send a message to the residents in Los Angeles today, hit with a 5.4 earthquake that I hope not all was lost....in Las Vegas did not feel anything but it was close enough.....

License 4 SEO
Starting Monday will become the Licensing Specialist....guessing it is like a promotion in stature just means more work and writing right!??? Just kidding, I actually don't mind it, something I do not mind writing about and also being showed that I am an asset which in the business world mean "job security" right???
Well the biggest thing is getting the sites "spidered" and ranks up....but I am also going to be redesigning the Demo Sites for SEO and other licensing sites....so design aspects will still be in my description not just writing ........ I can take comfort in that.
This is Part 1 of License 4 SEO.....

Self Inflicting Injury Will Occur
Underlining an issue with Google ranks issues on the insurance sites....
Trying to figure out why certain sites won't rank on Google but everywhere else do....
Theories
Trying to figure out why certain sites won't rank on Google but everywhere else do....
Theories
- Google does not like the states of Nevada and Louisiana ..... highly unlikly, no plusable reason for this....IT'S A SEARCH ENGINE NOT A TOURIST!!! ..... NEXT
- This is a thought, I am pretty sure keywords and content is not an issue due to the fact, the rankings on both sites are getting higher and higher...could it just be that since everyone knows Google it might be the only one webmasters submit too???
- Possible and exceptable answer for theory #2...... I really dont know how I will figure this out but know this "The answer is out there and somebody has to know it"!!!!

Google Analytics Rankings
I ran into a problem today with the Google Analytic rankings on the Insurance sites. I can not figure it out how a site which is receiving great ranks on first page placements will not rank on Google. I know that insurance is a broad topic and maybe something happen and sites got band, but that makes no sense ....
So frustrating and I feel like I have to rewrite every state and that would be a nightmare!!!!!
Not a good way to start off the week.....
So done with today....i'm outta here

Leading the Horse to the Water.......
Today came across a few reworks that don't necessarily baffle me but make me question somethings that I thought were easy to know but apparently not...
The whole thing about an SEO company to to gain a client exposure on the internet, my boss calls it to paraphrase him e-advertising..... however this does not constitute selling the clients products or handing them leads.....
I mean think about it this way, when you look at a magazine and you see all the adds in one, does that automatically make you want to buy it, some yes but others you just turn the page......
I think people do not see SEO that way and basically that is what it is....we make it easier for others to view your products, ideas, opportunities....but we can't make them buy it or believe it......
One of my favoreite sayings and honestly I have thought this and used this for years, I always remind myself in a strange way when I think someone might change their ways or thoughts...
"You can lead the horse to the water but you can't make him drink it"
This holds true in changing someone, for instanse you can lead someone from a wrong path or trying to make someone different or better but unless they want to change they will never do it.....
The same holds true for this instance...we can lead a consumer or "net surfer" to a site and let them look at all the site has to offer, but if they dont want it or are not interested they will not buy it and that is that......
We can not be relied on just making people buy something or believe something that is up to you and them we are just the helping hand to get you noticed.....the rest is up to you!!!

Bobbing for Ranks
The puzzling thing is that the sites are listed in the search on these search engines and I am not sure really why this may be....if anyone reading this blog has suggestions please let me know.....
Some examples would be Client 1918 and Client 2007
These are two sites for example that I have found today and can't totally grasp why, except for just stripping the content and rewriting completely but if there is an easier less time consuming way I am all ears.....

Golfing in Vegas
This morning and for much of the day wrote new content for Sterling Golf
It was cool to do some looking around and finding all the great and top-notch golfing that is available to anyone who visits Las Vegas.....
I know that Las Vegas has many golf courses due to the tourist attraction of the city but to know all the golf professionals who have designed courses out here was pretty cool to read about....
Didn't really have a chance to do a lot more today, I also for the most part and keep your figures crossed Alisa Riley's website
I pray that there is nothing left to do for her and that she will sign off on the site....I needs to move on.....
Busy Tuesday here, doing a lot of work on just two clients though but I got through them and I am happy about that

Hot Monday
I had a laundry list of accounts this morning with a variety of issues and fixes, I won't go into great detail on it
I did have to go through all of them examine the problems and then go back and fix as many as I could...fun way to start the week of right!?
I am hoping the Massachusetts Insurance company will receive good ranks starting next week, this client did have good ranks for awhile then all of a sudden a steep drop off.....SEO it is sometimes a very completing and hair pulling practice.
The client company site Daniel J. Guarino Insurance Agency, Inc.
I added the first and last paragraphs to existing content and am hoping to improve on the rankings and give this company the results......
So if you live in Massachusetts and are looking for quality insurance around the Danvers area, check out the link......
Till Tomorrow I am Out of Here!!!

Content God
Apparently I am the content SEO god for all Hot accounts and Insurance sites....Although the justification to this madness is that is because I do such a damn good job at it with making ranks jump leaps and bounds...
But isn't that what I am supposed to do in my job, do a good job? I can't complain I usually get to focus on just one thing a day and work at it all day, I am good doing this because I can just focus on one thing....cant say it any more plainer than that.....
I guess I am glad I get recognition for doing a good job at this, I have always been a well rounded writer although it is not my favorite thing to do I do a decent job at writing.....
The Hot account I worked on today a entrepreneur opportunity website it was written with a lot of content already I just enriched some paragraph inside the content and then added a enriched paragraph at the end of the site.....

I Assure You I know Insurance...By Now
On my third insurance site out of six... I swear sometimes it is almost as bad as writing am MLM...I did say almost..Today I did finish a complete redesign of the Pennsylvania Insurance Site
I wish I would have saved what the original looked like, but I guarantee you, you did not want to see it....I just don't understand, the whole concept is to make the site look professional to the state, that in mind it should look like the official state site to some extent and none of these do.
Anyways wrote almost 12 pages of content today and my joints hurt in my fingers and hands....I need a break...
I wish I had another story to say about Pennsylvania, but I only wrote about Allentown and Bethlehem and neither city have I traveled too.....

Pennsylvania Turnpike
It has been awhile since I have driven down the Pennsylvania Turnpike....I have a friend back east from Philadelphia and for many weekends we would venture up to Philadelphia and spend the weekend in the city and driving the turnpike into Hershey, PA to Hershey Park...nothing beats a city full of chocolate aroma and kisses as street lamps.....So you can imagine I do have a lot of fond memories on the State of Pennsylvania, so memories of course I have seem to have never remembered but many I have kept on too.....Writing content on this state brings back many memories of divisional clashes of bitter rivals as the Skins battled the Eagles on a snowy Sunday in December....the smell of hot dogs and beer...to just walking the cracked sidewalks of South Broad Street....good times.....
Reminisce Much?
Sometimes.
I do miss times back on the east coast of this great nation, and there are a lot of things everyone needs to experience in their lives...but never forgetting the journeys you go through is the only way to live.......

Tuesday, was filled with content excitement....yeah....well first finished content of Louisiana and added the content to the website.....This afternoon I began working on Pennsylvania....same mess as usual so may take some time as well.....
Was looking for Pennsylvania pictures to create a better header for the site and also restyled the website..... this image was too funny not to put on here...I guess if I came across this sign it would at least make me laugh a little for being late to work.....

Learning Louisiana
Reading and writing on one state for almost a week, you would hope to learn a few new facts about each place and state,... While this really is not that important to me due to the fact that frankly I am just not interested in this state,,,it gets boring at time....thus I have to and I guess knowledge is a good thing on somethings...but I have decided that unless it is time to party Mardi Gras, I am happy just knowing Louisiana is there......Now finding 10 new ways to rewrite one phrase is pretty damn impossible after awhile and I am working on insanity at the moment......On that note a image of enjoyment for us all..... no picture today could not find a good one, tomorrow perhaps

Grinding Away
Today...working on styling and content for Insurance site again....I wish I could tell you more about this site but I am just know really starting to make any kind of headway to the actually site....Should have styling done by the mornings end and have a lot of the content completed....
Wish there was more to say, but with big projects like this you usually do a lot of work on a very small topic....

The Broad Side of an MLM
Writing broad content for a 5 page new MLM website, it is more tedious than it may seem....
I have realized that when writing the content you have to be vague but then again people usually do not sign up for a service with out knowing all the details....So I did my best also had to do a lot of restyling to the site to make it resemble more of the MLM look.....What a pain, the a/c is broke it is about 115degrees in this room and I am so ready to not work anymore this week....so on that note, see you......

Im History in Louisiana
Spent the day researching and developing content for an insurance site for Louisiana. I found out that a lot of the history is very vague, which might make it challenging to write about, although I can use a lot of filler and interesting traits to the state for history content,. Havent really even started on the body of the content yet, the actual insurance content, but that will likely have to hold till Monday, I have an important website to complete due to an aloof client of ours......
Anyways, I wish I had more to write about today, it is so hot in the building today, no A/C it is June in Las Vegas, do the math..... so in parting I would like to leave you with a visual of my web exploration of the state of Louisiana.....

On to the Boot
Louisiana Content Nightmare
Theme of this Rant
Theme of this Rant
Well finished one nightmare, fell back asleep into a new one.....
I don't know what to do about these Insurance sites, but wow....I will try to get Louisiana done as soon, i understand it has no ranks right now and for good reason, missing cities that are keywords but have no content for them "Shreveport" and has information on Missouri and Georgia in it, I have no idea what happened here, going to just start over on this state........
On a positive I did finish the content for Nevada Insurance and submitted it this afternoon....I thought that the content in that one was bad, but nothing compares to the content in Louisiana, but I haven't looked at the other ones yet either...i am going to cry

Today I hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil only blog about evil......
I quit smoking on Friday for like the 4th time in my life and this always happens, I can never sleep.....So exhausted recently that it has been a steady injection of caffine for me to function right now....So continuing on the Nevada content writing today, will get that finally done and over with, only five more states to go...I really do not know why this has been such a struggle for me... I will come back and edit this later on in the day, add alittle more insight to my day, hopefully be more awake by this point.....

Blogging in Nevada
I have been writing this content forever on the state of Nevada and Nevada insurance, I am trying to really make this content great and it is taking some revisions to do it....trying not to be too repetitive in what I am saying and giving relevant facts on the state.....this is so exhausting just writing reading and rewriting content.....on page 26 of 33 and should have done tomorrow I hope, got held up this morning having to scan some things but I should finish this state up tomorrow and hopefully the other states will not be as difficult to write because of the basic premise I will have for writing the content structure......took me two times of structure to finally get the content the way I wanted it to be.... oofff!!! Not to mention it is Monday and it is so difficult sometimes

Nevada Knowledge
I am learning so much about the state of Nevada I can almost take the test......
So burned out of writing 20 pages of content on the state, only like 20 more to go...but atleast I get to take some R&R this weekend to be fresh and write more on Monday....I ended up splitting the txt into 2 sections...Southern Nevada and Northern Nevada.......
Wrote content on Boulder City, Henderson and Mesquite...starting on Las Vegas and North Las Vegas....and on Moday writing about the North: Reno, Carson City, Sparks Fallon, Elko..... fun fun fun.....I think once I get one down the other will be easier, it was kind of like writing those MLMs because once I figured out the structure I wanted the easier it was to complete.....till Monday, Have a Fun and Safe Weekend!!!

I'm Just Writing Here!!!
Just writing, writing, writing, break , writing, writing, so tired of writing, writing and writing.....All Day these sites are going to kill me....
Finished Boulder City along with the generalize Nevada content, on to city #2 of 8 I think, this is going to take some time and I have 5 more site left after this one....so I figure 2-3 days per site is not too bad considering they are 130keywords each and the original content is garbage.....oofff!!!
What to do....
Nothing more exciting about today, just trying not to go completely insane...somewhat succeeding, not complaining just tired.......

Yeah Special Projects
I got handed a "at first glance" overwhelming about of work to do...It is reworking the rental program sites, 6 of insurance and 6 of real estate....I actually did not think I would have to do a whole lot of work to these massive amounts of content, till I started to read through it and found out that is this mainly bullets and duplicated content, oh joy...hope we are not black listed on Google joy!!! Then to my surprise we actually rank well on Google, really well, so I started to think how much should I really change of this content?? But honestly I think it is a matter of time before the search engine reads this....One concern is no ranks on Yahoo.... or Alexa....honestly and just putting my concerns out there is if I go ahead and rewrok the content for this site that has almost 200 first page placements and completely change content, how much will it negatively effect the site before it hopefully improves rankings?? I guess this site will be my guinea pig on this and we will go from there..... because almost 200 is not good enough for this program and not ranking on Yahoo and Alexa is unacceptable.

Good Morning Post
Got a little busy at the end of the day yesterday that I couldn't manage a blog before I left....so I will grace you with one this morning.....
Finished with a 5 page web build and then pushed out the timberlake seo site for the client to help out on the web build....have not heard back from her yet, but I think it will be a success.....
Did get feedback from the one page site I did on Republic Construction a Roofing Company in Boston
He seemed really pleased with the site and I am doing as much back linking as I can to help promote the site and get him business.....
I will come back with more later....just wanted to let something out from yesterday and since I didn't have a chance to

Man of Few Words
Dont have much to say today....
I could write about the rental program and how much it is an exhausting
process....it is just not having a clear thing to write about other than a city or area and a vague job.....I am trying to finish this content and get everything styled, it took much of the afternoon just trying to figure on how to tackle this content..........
I will finish it Monday......need a weekend to recharge my batteries........

Completed First Web Build
To marked my first web build completion....only a one page site but I am actually really happy with the work I did....I feel like a lot of the basics are coming back, still have some questions on the in depth techniques but I am learning.....
Also know to always look on Google before asking stupid questions....Designer rule #1
The site is still waiting for an approval from the client but I did try to get in touch with him today but was unsuccessful.
The web build is http://www.republicconstructionma.com
Learned about the slice tool today with Photoshop, never really used it before just one of those tools where there are about 5 ways of doing the same thing....such is in all programs I guess....
Waiting on the 5 page site, still need the content for homepage from the client so that site will be done as soon as I receive that information......

Completion of first web build
Beginning to get the hang of web building and beginning to remeber a lot of things I for got.....Still have some design troubles but that will come with experience I guess and my understanding of the does and don't in professional web building....I do have these set backs I believe because of my art background, we pretty much had full control of what ever we designed because it was not for standards of the web but for art and art only....

CSS Learning Curve
I have a pretty steep learning curve on CSS for the moment, it is all starting to come back to me.....Just the fact of not really writing CSS and HTML from scratch in a few years and I can tell how much I have lost....it is amazing how hard you work and how long it takes to learn something only to lose it so quickly....I am getting it though and this webbuild is starting to come together, just need clients content and pictutres and this site should be up tomorrow...
I just hate the fact the day goes by so quickly when your writing this.....oh well gaining knowledge and that is a good thing

1st Tech Call
I had my first tech call today, interesting experience, but not uncommon.....client has limited computer knowledge which will make this interesting on what he gets back to me and how much I must do to make everything work....I am however to finally be able to work on this.....
Right now most of the day I am rewriting reworked content which is a pain and very frustrating at times....
Still waiting on a call back from Alisa Riley so I can complete her site, hopefully soon
Interesting Thursday to say the least

Repetition is Knowledge
Repetition is Knowledge we'll at least in my case....let me explain what I mean here
Since moving to design I have come to realize that there is a bit of HTML and CSS I have lost over the years from school...in school working on website builds all the time I got very comfortable, for the lack of a better word, on writing HTML and CSS from scratch.... Being out for a little while from school and not building sites from scratch I have lost but while working for the last couple of days a lot of the knowledge is coming back....I have that learning ability of the only way I truly learn and become good at something is to actually do it, I really have never been able to learn from books too much with out doing the work...I am writing this blog because internally I am feeling relieved and is a sense giddy to be finally getting back to what I loved in school.....
I am a happy blogger today!!!

A Feast of Men
I have had a steady diet of everything these past few days...from News, to Reworks, to Licensing Sites to a Web Build. It has also for some reason been alittle hard for me to concentrate this week, not sure if it is the changing of the season or what but I am starting to think it is just the overwhelming of things I am just freaking and not wanting or knowing where to start so I just ahhh!!!
I am starting to get pretty satisfied with my design of the web build the site is http://alisariley.net the site is not yet up yet but you can check out here original on http://alisariley.com.....
I am hoping to at least have it visible on the net by tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest...
I am full and looking forward to a break till tomorrow morning, today I am stuffed....
