Autistic Geek

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.

I’ve worked with Joomla! and Drupal as concontent management systems, its time to give WordPress a go at it. I found the install to be extreamly easy and so far I’m impressed. Someone already had imported my favorite layout from OSWD.

I be adding the gallery back in later, I want to explore how WordPress could handle it.
