Sure, there are plenty of good uses of flash and javascript (and maaaaybe the occasional frame), but what Aaron is likely talking about here is when the use of these technologies obstruct the indexing of your content.

Examples: using javascript to toggle a div’s display property may prevent Google from ever seeing that content, information contained inside a flash animation may never be indexed, etc.

I do not think there is anything wrong in using JavaScript to add behaviour that is not content or navigation critical.

“Halfdeck – Planning? What’s that?”

As they say, if you fail to plan, you plan for failure :D

Michael: is that why you used “looks” instead of “look”? ;)

Aaron: you nailed ‘er, buddy. That’s about all I got to say about that.

Doc – Happy Easter, the growing of extra chins is surely a bad thing. ;)

Michael – You are a great writer, I get all kinds of interesting traffic from your highly relevant contribution, thanks!

Halfdeck – Planning? What’s that? I get and idea and have to complete it, when it is done I am done, boy would planning be great!

Plan ahead.

Ok, I usually don’t plan ahead – I write whatever I feel like writing about at the time. But in every game I ever played, the key to sucess is foresight – anticipating the other guy’s move and forcing him into a corner instead of reacting to his every move.

I agree about the writing as well. While grammar is important, it is not necessary as one may think. Afterall, the majority of people reading are not “proof reading”. When I first started to write articles (well before my personal blog) I use to get concened about grammar, but I found that I was converting just as much with typos, or poor grammar as I would with good grammar.

I kind of looks at content as the most important aspect of pages I create. Its one thing to get someone to your pages or site, but completely different getting someone to stick around and maybe buy something.

Ha! Aaron – I dig the advice about going to the gym three times a week – it is oh so easy to start growing extra chins if your only exercise is on the keyboard – plus, most of my best ideas (blogging and professional) come to me when I’m doing exercise.

Whether you go to the gym, go for a run, walk the dog or just go out and play in the park with the kids – the best way to keep your blog healthy is to make sure you don’t neglect the mind and body too –

Have a great Easter Aaron.
