My apologies for coming 'late', to this thread - but I have been on
summer vacation, and so am just catching-up on these recent postings.

You asked about SEO help - but the latest "Panda" and "Penguin" up-
dates by Google have rather made 'Search Engine Optimisation' a bit of
a minefield, when compared with methods which were used previously.


You said that your "W3C" errors were fixed, and (after checking your
website) it is certainly a lot better than most I have seen - but there
are still a couple of design 'mistakes', (see the attached W3C report).

Unless you comply FULLY with those W3C standards, then it is likely that
some visitors to your website will have problems - because you have no
control over what computer system or 'Browsing' software, they are using.


You had also asked for help with 'marketing companies', and it looks as
though Bill Irvine has already given you the same answer which I would
recommend myself - subscribe to the "Education Marketing Mailing List",
where you could post requests for help and receive lots of advice.

Wishing you success, with selling Analemmatic sundials to schools - but
as another person had previously said, "Don't give up your day job"!

Validation Output: 2 Errors

  1. Error Line 48, Column 10: The hgroup element is obsolete. To mark up subheadings, consider either just putting the subheading into a p element after the h1-h6 element containing the main heading, or else putting the subheading directly within the h1-h6 element containing the main heading, but separated from the main heading by punctuation and/or within, for example, a span class="subheading" element with differentiated styling. To group headings and subheadings, alternative titles, or taglines, consider using the header or div elements. 
    		<hgroup>

  2. Error Line 87, Column 298: An img element must have an alt attribute, except under certain conditions. For details, consult guidance on providing text alternatives for images.
