Google is currently the most popular search engine in use (responsible for over 60% of web searches [1]). This means the amount of traffic your website gets largely depends upon your Google rank.
In order to improve their rank, many websites look into Search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO is the practice of structuring a website to increase its visibility to search engines. Keeping SEO in mind while building your website can improve your rank as well as improve the general user experience on your website. Many of the things a Search Engine is looking for—from well structured content highlighting keywords and phrases, clearly defined text links, and the use of header tags—will make it easier for users to scan through your page and find what they are looking for as well. Good SEO tends to overlap with W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines which means increased accessibility to people with disabilities [2]. Read the rest of this entry »
One of the most common questions posed by website owners is, “Why doesn’t my site come up on Google yet?” We all know it’s important to appear in search engine results, and everyone wants it to happen right away. Understanding how a search engine actually works is the first step towards understanding what can get your website to “show up” in the results.
Search engines are special websites that exist to help people find information available on the hundreds of millions of other sites on the World Wide Web. There are differences in the ways various search engines work, but they all perform three basic tasks: Read the rest of this entry »

There’s a biting morning chill in the air and even though most of our days are filled with sun we can feel the change in season. In Kalispell the street cleaning to pick up fallen leaves has already begun, which is fortunate because my trees decided winter began last weekend. If you haven’t started already you might want to think about winterizing your home.
At my house we’re pulling out the mower and weedeater for one last cutting, pruning the raspberries and other plants, changing our heating filters and cleaning out our garage to make room for the barbeque and other summer gear.
I’ve been living in an apartment for the last few years, so I didn’t exactly know all the steps to winterizing my home. Below is a list of resources I used to get up-to-date on how to winterize your home and yard.
Like so many who have settled here in the Flathead Valley, I come from afar, have lived many places and now truly feel at home. I spent many years moving about the country, always with painful homesick longing for my home in Maine. A place of unmatched beauty with hundreds of years of history, it is a nest that nurtures grounded, hardworking fishing families as well as cultured cosmopolitan world travelers and artists.
Arriving in the Flathead Valley, I was immediately taken by its beauty and quickly caught up in its endless opportunities for outdoor adventure. Discovering Bigfork, I found small-town living, uptown art and a sense of community. My painful longing for my birthplace ceased for the first time in 17 years, and I found myself HOME.
