Good point; I hadn't remembered or considered that. Must come from the milieu in which I've worked for the last nine months. All of our pages use NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW, and NOARCHIVE. Our apps are proprietary and non-public; search engine ranking is not something we seek. Rather, we actively discourage it.
Not that it would do a lot of good to come upon one of our pages via a search engine, since unless you're a customer (our customers are large EDI-capable companies) you're not going to see anything or be able to go anywhere or do anything on the site. There is precisely one password-protected entry point. Even using the "Back" button while in the app tosses you completely out, requiring re-logon and navigation through the app to get back to where you were. Still, that is something to keep in mind should I be doing any development outside this somewhat... rarified? isolated? environment in the future, since SEO will no doubt be an important issue in that event. One tends to discount or forget things that one doesn't use or consider regularly. Coming here to wdvltalk helps keep me from getting too far out into the ozone. ;-) Cheers, Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: "rudy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 1:20 PM Subject: [wdvltalk] RE: font meets font in css > > I would say that 'tain't that much briefer, and I would still prefer the use > > of <span> for this purpose, since it accomplishes the objective and requires > > no adjustment or accommodation of the meaning of the heirarchical tags. > > > > Call it a personal preference, if you wish, since either approach will work. > > oh, they both work, but if you care about semantics, you will always go for the > structural tags, which are semantically rich > > tip: search engines love structural tags, and will rank you a lot higher if you > use them than if you use spans > > but i guess it's your choice > > ;o) > > > ____ .
