Interested in world music? My friend Jane asked me to let everyone know about the upcoming event organized by the Folk Arts Council of St. Catharines Multicultural Centre:

Folk Arts in the Park

http://www.folk-arts.ca/Festival2008/Park.htm

At 4 PM on Sunday May 25, 2008, Klez Factor will be playing Eastern European Jewish Folk Music at Folk Arts in the Park.

With my 12 years of business on the World Wide Web (WWW AKA W3 AKA the Web), I have stayed rather quiet on the subject of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I have used Yahoo! and Google since their beginnings, and know full-well that the ranking properties/characteristics of search engines is generally proprietary and surrounded in secrecy. Even though best-practices and standards have been publicly published, technical aspects of quality in programming & design vary in importance to search engine ranking, and their relevance can change over time. Furthermore, there are other criteria factored in that are organic and otherwise. I have always designed & built to conform to the most obvious and expected elements, and the approach has evidently brought success to my endeavours & business.

Today, I began publishing a page on my own internal/proprietary trade-secret knowledge of SEO, starting with a couple points, and with many more to come.
