Do you name the authors of your articles and posts? If you do, do you tell Google who the author is? Learn how to define authorship so that your articles and your authors get the proper credit. Plus, some tips for adding images to web pages and Darla offers some great articles on SMIL. An online class can be a great way to learn web design. I offer several free classes here on this site.

Authorship, HTML5, and the Rel Attribute HTML5 adds a new link type relationship: rel=author. This allows you to point to author pages from articles and tell Google and other search engines who the author is. This could help reduce copyright infringement and identify spammers and scrapers more easily. And it will also help search engines identify specific authors more directly. Learn how to use the HTML5 rel=author attribute to improve your articles.

On this site, I run a forum, host a blog with comments, run weekly polls, send out a regular newsletter, and respond to email from my readers. I don't host chats or webinars, but I could if I wanted to build community in that way. But before you start adding community you need to plan for community. What types of community have you tried? How have they worked for you?
