Top of Google

Well I’ve been trying for years and it finally happened. I sit proudly at the top of Google, I’ve been Googling “Autistic Geek” about once a week since I really started adding content about mid-May and today I discovered that I am at the top of Google for that search string,
My problem has always been that I had static content or built my own CMS with the default “index.php?post=12″ that Google hates (as of this writing, don’t understand the mod_rewrite part of Apache).
Then Jacob Haug of The Web Squeeze suggested I get use WordPress. I avoided it at first because quite frankly, I associated blogging with MySpace, of which I’m not impressed, because of the default layout, bad background images, etcetera etcetera. I was wrong! I admit it.
During a rebuild I figured what the heck. I installed WordPress and found my favorite layout from Open Source Web Design already done. I will only be expanding on WordPress unless Joomla!’s or Drupal’s next versions really bring massive changes. But, alas I’m venturing (once again) off the subject.
I just need to expand my meta keywords beyond the empty double quotation marks, and see where I rank on other search engines, and since I’m here maybe add links to things that shape my points of view.
