There must be intelligent life down here

Less than. HTML. Greater than.

There's an episode of Dexter's Lab called The Big Cheese in which Dexter is trying to learn french for school.  Using the age-old trick of learning by osmosis, Dexter creates a record (an LP, actually) that plays his vocabulary aloud while he sleeps.  Of course, things go awry when player skips and repeats only one phrase.  In the morning, Dexter can say nothing but "Omelette de fromage" (Cheese omelette).  Fortunately, that phrase seems to be the answer to every question he is asked, and eventually leads him to superstardom.

I feel kind of like that this morning.  Although, I have yet to speak to anyone in exclusively terms of HTML tags, I think I probably could.

Well, this is exciting.  I actually have a product to hawk now, so I can put to use some of the knowledge that I have gathered at work to promote myself.

My first stop:  Search Engine Optimization.  Basically, if someone is looking for the kind of product I'm selling, I want my product to appear on the first page of the search results of Google.  Preferrably, near the top.  And on all of the other search engines as well.  But not necessarily for the name of my product.
