Just finished reading another chapter of Search Engine Optimization: An Hour A Day and got some understanding of meta tags and invisible text, but how am I supposed to learn to write it? Is there (of course there is) HTML class? Because it sure seems like optimization is not possible without HTML.
Are there people who do all of this - form and content - for themselves?

Step away from the laptop.
Stop now. Ninety minutes ago, I sat down to check email and I'm still here. I also checked the RSS feeds in my Google Reader where a handful of the 102 new items drew me further afield. One post from Mashable had a whole batch of applications for delicious which I had to try, which moved me on to pasting html code for new widgets into my blog. Now I have a tag cloud and a blog linkroll. (What is that; sushi or a dessert?) So many toys; new toys every day; and, here I am blogging. These things don't pay the bills. There's an empty whiteboard waiting for me and until I pick up the dry erase marker and get about it, they'll be hell to pay.

Two hours since I sat down to check email. Stop. Step away from the laptop.

Big Day in New Mediaville

Go to the head of the new media class!  Today this auto-didact figured out so many things. I learned where to post code for widgets, meaning I could move various widgets out of my title bar and into their proper place.   Then (drumroll!) I used html and posted "Add this" buttons to my blog template.  It's the first time I've gone deep into html.  This is only fun and exciting if  you don't know what I'm talking about.  Kind of like me,  two months ago.  

What did you learn today?
