.

I first read these stories on LiveJournal back in 2013, some time after I first encountered Tumblr, Supernatural, and the wider world of online fandom. Once I discovered SPNxCriminal Minds crossovers I devoured so many of them. Something about POV Outsider on the Winchesters, the existing connections with investigating monster vs human-crazy cases, and run-ins with the FBI... it's just works so well.

Of all the SPNxCM fics I read and enjoyed, All The King's Horses is among those that bookmarked themselves in my brain. Since it's been living there all these years, I thought it deserved a place on my bookshelf too.

(Rambling below)

Sourcing the Fic

I used FicHub to download the fics off of Fanfiction.net as HTML. Then I pasted them into LibreOffice Writer and created rich text documents of each fic, so I could Place them into Affinity Publisher.

The stories were crossposted, first on LiveJournal and then Fanfiction. I included the metadata from both sites in the appendices.

(It's fascinating to see the differences in the same work between platforms. FFN requires genres, so if the author doesn't add them on LJ then by default there's more info on FFN. But FFN limits listed characters to 2, so authors have to pick and choose the most important. Then there's the author's amusing disclaimers and spoiler warnings for these fics, which are only included in the LJ version)

Shoutout to the author for how they linked/listed their accounts on other platforms! Thanks to that I was easily able to track down all the tags/metadata for the fics, and find them here to express my appreciation for their stories!

Typesetting

Fonts

EB Garamond is my new favourite body font, 11pt as per my usual.

The title page is entirely Arial: 1) it was the closest match I have to the case file prop I was copying, and 2) if it was a government doc they wouldn't be using anything but the most basic fonts.

Headings and the the bullets bracketing the page numbers are set it Supernatural Knight, a free font in the style of Supernatural's title.

The location segments are in D-DIN, the closest free match to the font Criminal Minds uses (which is probably DIN).

Daniel is used for Dean's 'rushed but legible' note.

Permanent Marker for the 'thick black Sharpie' case file labels.

Artwork

Title pages designed as FBI case files, copied from a prop found online (specifically Etsy's propfictionstudios', but it's all over the web so no idea who actually created it). I had fun plugging in all the fanfic/bookbinding meta!

The ID# above the author's name is the FFN story ID, and the date is the date originally posted on LJ.

The handprint used in the headings of ATKH is Dean's scar. I traced off of a screenshot from s4e01 Lazarus Rising. I chose to use the handprint instead of the anti-possession tattoo or a Devil's Trap as my SPN art element because 1) it's specific to Dean, and 2) indicates/reminds that the story is not set during the season 3 Agent Henriksen/FBI arc.

Grabbed the FBI seal off of Wikipedia.

Construction

Both fics typeset and printed separately, then sewn together into one book. Title page for the sequel was tipped in like an endpaper prior to sewing.

Endbands sewn with orange embroidery floss (DMC 721) around 1.9mm cording. I chose orange because Dean's being in jail brought to mind the orange prison jumpsuits Sam and Dean wore in s1e19 Folsom Prison Blues.

Black bookcloth for the cover, like the Winchesters' beloved black '67 Chevy Impala. (I'd wanted a Supernatural reference to balance out the Criminal Minds-ness of the FBI case files).

I'd originally planned to make lineart of the front of the car, and have it stretch across the bottom of the cover (maybe even wrap around to the back). Even found a useful reference to trace [from here], but it didn't look as good as I'd hoped. Instead I reused the FBI seal and swapped out its text with the titles.

(The effect of shiny foiled FBI symbol on small black book reminds me of one of those FBI badge wallets!)

The foiling process was an unnecessarily long and gruelling affair. My laptop served as a massive power bank for the hot foil pen as I spent 2hrs ever so slowly tracing the image, and then 15mins on the author name and touch-ups. Did it need to take so long? Moving slowly, pushing down hard, going over everything at least three times? I'm sure it didn't. BUT I did not want to chance peeling up the foil to check how I was doing and risk shifting it. It was worth it in my books (haha) ‒ I feel giddy and kick my feet like a schoolgirl whenever I see it!

New Things

Used 24lb paper for the first time, and I love it! It's a little thicker and heavier then regular 20lb printer paper, feels more substantial.

The page numbers & running/section headers are along the outer margin, instead of in the header/footer. This was my way around Affinity's buggy-ness regarding pinning things inline in master pages. (More about that below). If I had been thinking, I could have formatted them like the tabs on a file folder and cut the textblock to match. Oh well, the things you notice once it's printed 😔

This time I also started new chapters/sections using text flow & paragraph spacing settings, instead of using a master. As always, there are pros and cons.

Pro: much faster and less involved. (find chapter start, apply paragraph style VS working from the end cutting text, inserting a frame break, unlinking frames, inserting new pages with master, relinking, pasting, and adding chapter title to a different text box)

Con: images need to be added manually (whether by adding image directly, or by applying a master with the image). I forgot to do this for the second fic, so only ATKH have Dean's handprint scar.

Difficulties Encountered

Affinity Publisher is fighting me on pinning things inline on master pages. They like to disappear on regular pages I've applied the master to. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it only works on some of the pages. Idk what's up. (The bullet character only faces one way so I had use textboxes, flip/mirror one, and pin them inline to the page number).

So instead of having page numbers in the footer, bookended left and right by text boxes with Supernatural Knight's bullet, I put it vertically down the side.

Updated Publisher and all my paragraph styles' fonts changed/went funny. Something to do with the update's variable font support, I think. What was previously 'EB Garamond' regular, was now something along the lines of 'EBGaramond-Regular' which isn't a font. Issue seems to have ironed itself out in my original (near-complete) doc while I was busy remaking it. 😐

On the bright side, the update brought QR code generation to Affinity!

hello, some writer questions! 1) what time are the fics due on the 2nd? 2) how do we submit - pdf, gdocs access, etc 3) can we get any more info on the summaries - mostly word count max for the summary, and for author notes that might be relevant to artists if that's separate. 4) if ships are listed in their own column or whatnot, can we specify main ships vs minor ships? I don't want to mislead people but also don't want to hit on a hard no for a minor ship. thanks!!!

Thanks for the ask!!

Fics will be due at Writer Check-in 4, which will run like the other check-ins, meaning writers will have 48 hours after the form is sent out to fill it out and submit their fic. If anyone cannot make this deadline, there is an extension available until September 8. We will put out last calls for fics in the days leading up to September 8 so that the due date does not come as a surprise. We will still accept fics after that (until December 30), but they will be automatically assigned to Doodle Tier.

The submissions will be completed using a Google Form. On the Submission form, writers will give us their own information, and then for each of their fics: - Relationships (romantic, queerplatonic, platonic, and background) - Rating of the fic - Whether or not artists need to be 18+ - Warnings (with space to elaborate and add your own notes for artists) - (Optional) Up to 10 tags* - Summary - Upload the fic as a single document. Miscrosoft Word or Google Docs is preferred. We will also accept plaintext files, markdown files, and html files.

Summaries should be 250 words or fewer, with a hard limit of 300 words (for the sake of artists who have a lot of summaries to scroll through). Here is a brief presentation with some suggested exercises to build a summary for Art Claims! Though we don't have specific requirements for the content of the summary, we recommend that summaries give a complete overview of your story i.e., you should treat it as a publisher pitch rather than an AO3 summary or teaser. This is your space to talk to the artists, so anything you want them to know about your fic should go here and/or in your tags. Warnings will have their own additional space.

Ships will have their own section!! On the Art Claims site, artists will have the option to sort summaries by Art Tier or by relationship. Your summary will appear under each of the major relationships present in your fic (romantic, queerplatonic, and platonic). You will also be able to list any background relationships that are present, but your summary will not appear under the sections of the site dedicated to those relationships.

*Tags: The optional 10 tags are for Art Claims only. For posting, you may tag your fic however you would like. You might want to think of the Art Claims tags as an "at a glance" overview of your story. You might use the tags to highlight major aspects of your fic, or to clarify things that might not be clear from your summary. You do not need to include relationships, characters, or warnings in these tags.

Ok so I just recently found out neocities exists and I'm already kind of obsessed. I'm ginna make a site there because I LOVE html/css. I'm aware they arnt the most like...amazing ground breaking code languages, but im not an amazing coder. I wasn't on the web in the 90s-early 2000s (not born yet) but I honestly love the web design. This post I think really sums it up. I learned pretty much everything off w3schools, and I use vs code, which is an awesome thing imo, because it has a ton of plug-ins, but also the default is great too. It auticompletes tags, and i also love the colors.

Ok, so I think we should bring personal sites back. I've been feeling frustrated with Instagram, and...social media in general being over run with Ai, so I'll hopefully get a site of my own up soon.

Also I don't know how to add links on tumblr yet because I literally do not know how to work this thing. I'll figure it out soon.

beginner’s guide to the indie web

“i miss the old internet” “we’ll never have websites like the ones from the 90s and early 2000s ever again” “i’m tired of social media but there’s nowhere to go”

HOLD ON!

personal websites and indie web development still very much exist! it may be out of the way to access and may not be the default internet experience anymore, but if you want to look and read through someone’s personally crafted site, or even make your own, you can still do it! here’s how:

use NEOCITIES! neocities has a built in search and browse tools to let you discover websites, and most importantly, lets you build your own website from scratch for free! (there are other ways to host websites for free, but neocities is a really good hub for beginners!)

need help getting started with coding your website? sadgrl online has a section on her website dedicated to providing resources for newbie webmasters!

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are the core of what all websites are built on. many websites also use JS (JavaScript) to add interactive elements to their pages. w3schools is a useful directory of quick reference for pretty much every HTML/CSS/JS topic you can think of.

there is also this well written and lengthy guide on dragonfly cave that will put you step by step through the basics of HTML/CSS (what webpages are made from), if that’s your sort of thing!

stack overflow is every programmer’s hub for asking questions and getting help, so if you’re struggling with getting something to look how you want or can’t fix a bug, you may be able to get your answer here! you can even ask if no one’s asked the same question before.

websites like codepen and jsfiddle let you test HTML/CSS/JS in your browser as you tinker with small edits and bugfixing.

want to find indie websites outside the scope of neocities? use the search engine marginalia to find results you actually want that google won’t show you!

you can also use directory sites like yesterweb’s link section to find websites in all sorts of places.

if you are going to browse the indie web or make your own website, i also have some more personal tips as a webmaster myself (i am not an expert and i am just a small hobbyist, so take me with a grain of salt!)

if you are making your own site:

get expressive! truly make whatever you want! customize your corner of the internet to your heart’s content! you have left the constrains of social media where every page looks the same. you have no character limit, image limit, or design limit. want to make an entire page or even a whole website dedicated to your one niche interest that no one seems to be into but you? go for it! want to keep a public journal where you can express your thoughts without worry? do it! want to keep an art gallery that looks exactly how you want? heck yeah! you are free now! you will enjoy the indie web so much more if you actually use it for the things you can’t do on websites like twitter, instead of just using it as a carrd bio alternative or a place to dump nostalgic geocities gifs.

don’t overwhelm yourself! if you’ve never worked with HTML/CSS or JS before, it may look really intimidating. start slow, use some guides, and don’t bite off more than you can chew. even if your site doesn’t look how you want quite yet, be proud of your work! you’re learning a skill that most people don’t have or care to have, and that’s pretty cool.

keep a personal copy of your website downloaded to your computer and don’t just edit it on neocities (or your host of choice) and call it a day. if for some reason your host were to ever go down, you would lose all your hard work! and besides, by editing locally and offline, you can use editors like vscode (very robust) or notepad++ (on the simpler side), which have more features and is more intuitive than editing a site in-browser.

you can use ctrl+shift+i on most browsers to inspect the HTML/CSS and other components of the website you’re currently viewing. it’ll even notify you of errors! this is useful for bugfixing your own site if you have a problem, as well as looking at the code of sites you like and learning from it. don’t use this to steal other people’s code! it would be like art theft to just copy/paste an entire website layout. learn, don’t steal.

don’t hotlink images from other sites, unless the resource you’re taking from says it’s okay! it’s common courtesy to download images and host them on your own site instead of linking to someone else’s site to display them. by hotlinking, every time someone views your site, you’re taking up someone else’s bandwidth.

if you want to make your website easily editable in the future (or even for it to have multiple themes), you will find it useful to not use inline CSS (putting CSS in your HTML document, which holds your website’s content) and instead put it in a separate CSS file. this way, you can also use the same theme for multiple pages on your site by simply linking the CSS file to it. if this sounds overwhelming or foreign to you, don’t sweat it, but if you are interested in the difference between inline CSS and using separate stylesheets, w3schools has a useful, quick guide on the subject.

visit other people’s sites sometimes! you may gain new ideas or find links to more cool websites or resources just by browsing.

if you are browsing sites:

if the page you’re viewing has a guestbook or cbox and you enjoyed looking at the site, leave a comment! there is nothing better as a webmaster than for someone to take the time to even just say “love your site” in their guestbook.

that being said, if there’s something on a website you don’t like, simply move on to something else and don’t leave hate comments. this should be self explanatory, but it is really not the norm to start discourse in indie web spaces, and you will likely not even be responded to. it’s not worth it when you could be spending your time on stuff you love somewhere else.

take your time! indie web doesn’t prioritize fast content consumption the way social media does. you’ll get a lot more out of indie websites if you really read what’s in front of you, or take a little while to notice the details in someone’s art gallery instead of just moving on to the next thing. the person who put labor into presenting this information to you would also love to know that someone is truly looking and listening.

explore! by clicking links on a website, it’s easy to go down rabbitholes of more and more websites that you can get lost in for hours.

seeking out fansites or pages for the stuff you love is great and fulfilling, but reading someone’s site about a topic you’ve never even heard of before can be fun, too. i encourage you to branch out and really look for all the indie web has to offer.

i hope this post helps you get started with using and browsing the indie web! feel free to shoot me an ask if you have any questions or want any advice. <3

SEO Checklists For Small Businesses

Many small businesses often neglect search engine optimization (SEO) for their website. This is due to concerns that it may not be worthwhile, too expensive, or simply not meant for smaller companies. 

However, implementing effective SEO strategies can result in higher conversions, improve brand reputation, and consistently generate a strong return on investment (ROI).

The difficulty of SEO for small businesses lies in the fact that they typically lack a dedicated team for it and have limited time to keep abreast of new developments in search.

As a small business, you are up against not only other small businesses, but also publishers, big brands, and various informational sources that show up in search results.

Not to mention, your budget doesn't come close to that of your larger competitors.

Why is SEO crucial for small business owners?

For small businesses, SEO is crucial in attracting potential customers who are likely to convert into leads and sales. With financial constraints, it's essential for these businesses to effectively reach their desired audience. 

A HubSpot report reveals that 64% of marketers prioritize search engine optimization, highlighting its significance in the competitive online market.

Through SEO optimization, small businesses can effectively rival larger competitors by focusing on niche keywords and appearing in relevant search results for their products or services. 

As research from Chitika suggests, the first page of Google captures the majority of web traffic (up to 91.5%), making it crucial for businesses to invest in SEO. In addition to increasing visibility, SEO also offers valuable performance metrics such as ROI, providing owners with valuable insights into the success of their marketing strategies.

By implementing successful SEO strategies, small businesses can effectively reach their desired audience by targeting and ranking for niche keywords. This not only drives traffic to their offerings, but also generates leads and boosts revenue without requiring a significant increase in marketing expenses. 

As a result, small businesses can achieve a positive return on investment and make the most out of their limited resources.

In this article, you will discover a comprehensive SEO checklist tailored specifically for small businesses. 

1. Set Up Google Search Console

Setting up Google Search Console is a game-changer for small business owners. This free tool provides insights directly from Google about how your site performs in search results. First, create an account and verify ownership of your website. You can do this through various methods like adding a meta tag or uploading an HTML file. Once verified, you’ll gain access to vital information regarding indexing status and any potential issues affecting visibility. Explore the Performance tab to see which keywords bring traffic to your site. You'll uncover valuable data on click-through rates and average positions that can help refine your strategy. Don’t overlook the Coverage report, which highlights errors that might hinder your site's performance. Addressing these issues promptly ensures search engines can crawl and index your pages effectively.

2. Set Up Google Analytics

Setting up Google Analytics is essential for tracking your website’s performance. It provides valuable insights into visitor behavior, traffic sources, and user engagement. Start by creating an account on the Google Analytics website. Follow the straightforward prompts to set up your property. This step will generate a unique tracking ID. Next, add this ID to your website. If you're using a content management system like WordPress, plug-ins make installation easy. Just paste the code where required, and you’re good to go. Once installed, familiarize yourself with the dashboard. Explore features like real-time data and audience demographics. Understanding these metrics helps tailor your marketing strategies effectively. Regularly check reports to monitor trends over time. Adjusting based on insights ensures continuous improvement in reaching your target audience and achieving business goals. You can hire a SEO services company or a freelancer if you find it difficult to integrate Google Analytics into your website.

3. Set Up Bing Search Console

Bing Search Console is often overlooked, but it offers valuable insights for small business owners. Setting it up is straightforward and can enhance your online visibility. Once you’ve created an account, verify your website. This process typically involves adding a meta tag or uploading an XML file to your site. It only takes a few minutes and opens the door to critical data about how Bing crawls and indexes your pages. After verification, explore the dashboard. You'll find performance metrics that show which queries drive traffic from Bing. Understanding these keywords helps refine your content strategy. Additionally, monitor any crawl errors reported by Bing. Addressing these issues promptly ensures search engines can access all parts of your site efficiently. The reporting features are useful for tracking changes over time too. Regularly check back to see how updates impact your rankings in the Bing ecosystem.

4. Install Yoast SEO

Installing Yoast SEO is a game changer for small business owners looking to enhance their website’s performance. This powerful plugin simplifies the optimization process, making it accessible even for beginners. Once activated, you’ll find an intuitive interface that guides you through essential settings. It helps streamline your on-page SEO by providing real-time feedback as you write content. You can easily optimize titles and meta descriptions to improve click-through rates. Yoast also offers readability analysis, ensuring your content engages visitors effectively. The ability to set focus keywords allows you to target specific search terms strategically. With regular updates and support from an active community, Yoast remains relevant in the ever-evolving world of SEO. Embrace this tool and watch how it transforms your site’s visibility and user experience.

5. Identify Your Project’s KPIs

Identifying your project’s KPIs is a crucial step in measuring success. Start by asking what you want to achieve. Is it increased traffic, higher conversion rates, or better customer engagement? Clearly defining these goals will guide your strategy. Choose specific metrics that align with those objectives. For example, if traffic is your aim, focus on organic search visits and page views. If conversions are key, track sales numbers or form submissions. Don’t forget to consider qualitative metrics too. User satisfaction can provide insights into how well you're meeting customer needs. Regularly review these KPIs to gauge progress and adjust tactics as necessary. This ongoing analysis helps ensure you're staying on track toward achieving your business goals while keeping an eye on evolving market trends.

6. Set Up Rank Tracking

Rank tracking is essential for understanding your website's performance on search engines. It helps you monitor where your keywords stand over time. Start by selecting a reliable rank tracking tool. Options like SEMrush, Ahrefs, or Moz can provide valuable insights into keyword positions. These tools allow you to track multiple keywords simultaneously and generate detailed reports. Make sure to set specific tracking intervals. Daily updates may be overwhelming; weekly or monthly checks are often more manageable. This way, you can focus on trends instead of daily fluctuations. Additionally, remember to analyze the data regularly. Look for patterns in ranking changes and correlate them with any SEO strategies you've implemented. Identifying what works will help refine your approach moving forward. Don't forget about local rankings if you're a small business targeting local customers. Tracking these will give insights into how well you're competing in your area.

7. Discover Long Tail Keywords with “Google Suggest”

Long tail keywords can be a game-changer for your small business. They are more specific phrases that potential customers use when searching online. Targeting these keywords helps attract the right audience to your site. One of the easiest ways to discover them is through Google Suggest. When you start typing in Google’s search bar, it automatically provides suggestions based on popular searches related to your query. Take note of these suggestions as they reflect actual user behavior. This can give you insights into what people are looking for and how you might address their needs with your content or products. Additionally, using long tail keywords reduces competition compared to broader terms. By focusing on niche topics, you increase your chances of ranking higher in search results. Explore different combinations and variations regularly. The landscape shifts quickly, so staying updated will keep you ahead in attracting valuable traffic.

Conclusion

To navigate the complex world of SEO, small business owners must arm themselves with essential tools and strategies. 

Setting up Google Search Console allows you to monitor your website’s performance, ensuring it reaches its target audience effectively. Similarly, Google Analytics provides valuable insights into user behavior, helping you make informed decisions. Don’t overlook Bing Search Console. It offers a different perspective on your visibility in search results that can complement what Google provides. Installing Yoast SEO is another crucial step; this plugin simplifies optimization and ensures that your content meets best practices. Identifying key performance indicators (KPIs) will guide your efforts by focusing on what matters most for your business goals. Rank tracking keeps you updated on where you stand in search results over time, enabling adjustments as needed. Finally, discovering long-tail keywords through “Google Suggest” opens doors to more targeted traffic and less competition. 

By following these steps diligently, you're not just improving visibility—you're setting the stage for sustainable growth online. Embrace these SEO checklist items and watch how they transform your digital presence positively.

1. Understanding SEO Basics

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of SEO Canberra, let's start with the basics. SEO, or search engine optimisation, is the practice of optimising your website to improve its visibility and rankings on search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo. The purpose of SEO is to attract more organic (non-paid) traffic to your website.

To understand SEO, you need to get inside the mind of a search engine. Search engines use complex algorithms to crawl and index billions of web pages, determining their relevance to specific search queries. When a user enters a search query, the search engine analyses its index and delivers the most relevant results.

So, how do search engines determine which websites are the most relevant? Well, they consider several factors, including keywords, meta tags, and on-page optimisation techniques. Let's break it down.

A. Keywords

Keywords are the words or phrases that users enter into search engines when looking for information. To improve your website's visibility, you need to identify and incorporate relevant keywords into your content with the help of the digital marketing agency Canberra. For example, if you run a bakery in New York, you might want to target keywords like "best bakery in New York" or "delicious pastries in NYC."

B. Meta Tags

Meta tags are snippets of HTML code that provide information about a web page. They include a title tag, which appears as the clickable headline on search engine results, and a meta description, which provides a summary of the page's content. By optimising your meta tags, you can improve your click-through rate and attract more visitors.

C. On-Page Optimisation

Techniques On-page optimisation refers to the various techniques you can implement on your web pages to improve their visibility and rankings. These techniques include optimising page titles, headings, and meta descriptions, as well as optimising URLs, images, and internal links. By using relevant keywords strategically and creating high-quality, engaging content, you can increase your chances of ranking higher.

Understanding these SEO basics is crucial for laying a strong foundation for your SEO strategy. By incorporating relevant keywords, optimising your meta tags, and implementing on-page optimisation techniques, you can increase your website's visibility and attract more organic traffic.

2. Keyword Research

Now that you understand the importance of keywords in SEO, it's time to dive deeper into keyword research. Keyword research is the process of identifying the most relevant keywords for your website and incorporating them strategically into your content.

To conduct keyword research, you can use tools like Google Keyword Planner or SEMrush. These tools provide insights into the search volume, competition, and relevancy of different keywords. By analysing this data, you can identify the keywords with high search volume and low competition, giving you a better chance of ranking higher.

When conducting keyword research, it's important to consider long-tail keywords. Long-tail keywords are longer and more specific phrases that target a niche audience. While they may have a lower search volume, they often attract more targeted traffic and have a higher conversion rate. For example, instead of targeting the broad keyword "bakery," you might want to target the long-tail keyword "gluten-free bakery in New York."

When incorporating keywords into your content, it's important to strike a balance. Keyword stuffing, or excessively using keywords, can do more harm than good. Digital marketing agency Canberra are smart enough to recognise keyword stuffing and may penalise your website. Instead, focus on creating high-quality, engaging content that aligns naturally with your target keywords.

3. On-Page Optimisation Techniques

Now that you have identified your target keywords, it's time to optimise your web pages to improve their visibility and rankings. On-page optimisation techniques involve optimising various elements of your web pages to make them more search engine-friendly. Let's explore some key on-page optimisation techniques.

A. Page Titles

The page title is one of the most important on-page elements. It appears as a clickable headline on search engine results, so it needs to be compelling and descriptive. Include your target keyword in the page title to improve its relevancy and increase your chances of ranking higher.

B. Headings and Subheadings

Headings and subheadings help organise your content and make it more reader-friendly. They also provide search engines with a hierarchical structure of your page. Use header tags (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to indicate the importance of each heading. Include target keywords in your headings to improve their relevancy.

C. Meta Descriptions

The meta description is a brief summary of your web page's content. While it doesn't directly impact rankings, it plays a crucial role in attracting users to click on your link. Make sure your meta description is concise, compelling, and includes your target keyword.

D. URL Optimisation

Optimising your URLs is another important on-page optimisation technique. Use descriptive and keyword-rich URLs that accurately reflect the content of your web page. Avoid using long and confusing URLs that make it difficult for users and search engines to understand your page's topic.

E. Image Optimisation

Images can enhance the visual appeal of your web pages, but they can also slow down your website if not optimised properly. Optimise your images by reducing their file size, adding alt text (which describes the image for visually impaired users and search engines), and using descriptive file names.

F. Internal Links

Internal links are hyperlinks that point to other pages within your website. They not only help users navigate your website but also provide search engines with a better understanding of your website's structure. Use descriptive anchor text and strategically place internal links to improve your website's visibility and rankings.

In addition to these on-page optimisation techniques, it's important to create high-quality, engaging content that aligns with your target keywords. Focus on providing value to your readers and answering their questions. Use header tags, bullet points, and a logical structure to enhance readability. Remember, content is king, and high-quality content will always attract more visitors and increase your chances of ranking higher.

Final Thoughts

In final thoughts, our journey through the intricate realm of SEO has unveiled the keys to unlocking online success. From keyword mastery to strategic link-building, each tip and trick serves as a guide to elevate your website's visibility. Remember, SEO isn't just about algorithms; it's about crafting a digital presence that resonates.

So, armed with these insights, venture forth into the vast landscape of search engine optimisation. Let your content shine, your keywords speak volumes, and your website soars in rankings. The path to SEO triumph is at your fingertips—utilise these strategies and watch your online presence ascend to new heights. Happy optimising!

What?

I would far rather it stripped the decorative elements out and committed to styling being a separate, modular thing that is device-aware.

HTML did do this. That's why HTML5 was a breaking change.

HTML5 split the semantic and presentation layers.

(The only non-semantic elements left are <div> and <span>. If you wanted to get rid of those, you'd need to add a whole fourth language to webdev, which is obviously absurd.)

Everything else has an actual meaning. Even <p> has a meaning, "this is a paragraph of text", which is a concept that is important in most human languages. <b> has legacy bold styles for backwards compatibility, but also because generally speaking that's how you bring attention to text, and that's a different meaning from <strong>. When I'm hand-writing HTML, I use <em> and <i> both, because <i> is correct for book titles and <em> is appropriate for emphasis. <u> is different from <mark> and <ins>, and <strike> is different from <del>. And so on. <table> isn't a presentational element; it defines a data structure that can be styled however you want.

Device-awareness is all up to CSS3 (as most recently revised), and its media queries and container queries. You can turn a <table> from something with two scrolling dimensions into something with one scrolling dimension, using CSS.

It is very not hard to write:

<p class="poem">This is a poem. <br/> it is centered. </p>

<style> .poem {text-align: center;} </style> and then when you want to make al poems on the page use a fancy font, instead of adding twelve bajillion <font> elements, you just change the style tag:

<style> .poem {text-align: center; font-family: cursive;} </style>

Exactly!

To phrase it wrong but also kind of right: If I can do it in naive Microsoft Word,* - if all I want to do mark up my hypertext - I should be able to do it in pure HTML. I don't want to "style" my home page with "cascading sheets," I'm writing text here. Text that I want underlined and centered.

*(I'm aware Word Skill is a deep and subtle river)
