			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SEO, or search engine optimization, is one of those things that everyone is talking about these days. In my experience as a web developer, I have heard countless complaints to the tune of :  &#8221;The site looks great, but why do I not come up when I type _______ into Google?&#8221;  This happens all of the time. I will try to address this question in a general and simple way.</p>
<p>First, let me say this. The people at Google are constantly tuning their search engine to do the absolute best job of finding what people are searching for. That sounds simple, but go back and read it again. It&#8217;s a huge clue. Yes, there are certain design techniques and some tricks you can try to get your site ranked higher in the search results pages, but never forget that Google&#8217;s goal is to deliver  the BEST and MOST RELEVANT content to it&#8217;s searchers. I think many people overlook this, and focus on the technicalities of getting ranked better instead of focusing on providing excellent content.</p>
<p>Secondly, the ranking of your site depends on some things you can control and some things you cannot. It does help to have your site be <a href="http://www.w3.org/" target="_blank">standards compliant</a>. You cannot control how many competitors are selling the same product/service in your area. The more saturated your market is, the harder it is to stand out.</p>
<p>One huge thing you should understand is that Google&#8217;s current algorithm for ranking a site is based heavily on what sites link to it (and how those referring sites are ranked). That means if your site is linked to from the likes of CNN, Fox News, and Drudge Report, then chances are, your Google PageRank is higher. Google is guessing that the amount of traffic coming from more trusted sources is a good indicator that you&#8217;ve got something worth of seeing. Even cross linking with lesser websites can help.</p>
<p>Finally, I&#8217;ll say this. You may have to wait awhile, invest time in blogging/arranging links, and writing good content. The fact is your site still may never show up where you want it to. Just remember, being ranked in Google organically is FREE and they will rank you as they see fit.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s always paid marketing in the sponsored section of Google if you must be at the top. You&#8217;ll just pay some, but does that really surprise you? I&#8217;ll take some time to explain search engine marketing in a little more depth later.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;ve spent time browsing the web, you&#8217;ve probably come across these three letters. But what do they mean?</p>
<p>RSS is commonly translated: Really Simple Syndication. It&#8217;s used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. This is great for publishers because it gives them a great way to syndicate their work to other websites and end users. It&#8217;s great  for end users too, as it lets people subscribe to updates from many sites and see all updates aggregated together in a standard format.</p>
<p>Different operating systems and browsers implement RSS differently. If you aren&#8217;t sure how to get started, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_format)" target="_blank">here</a> is a good resource.</p>
<p>You can check out the Angel &amp; Associates RSS feed <a href="http://angelandassociates.com/feed/" target="_blank">here</a>. Bookmark it if you want to be updated automatically in the future.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Chesney Dentistry is the West Knoxville practice of Dr. Gary Chesney. We help Dr. Chesney communicate that today's technology can help folks feel good about themselves.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Dr. Gary Chesney approached Angel &amp; Associates, Inc. about building a website, we sat down and determined his needs and desires. Dr. Chesney wanted to let the community know that while his practice is very high tech and sterile, it is also very warm and friendly. The practice employs the latest technology and wanted a website that is up to date as well.</p>
<p>It was decided that giving potential patients a sense of the practice would be best accomplished by showing off the new office facilities along with state-of-the-art equipment and a friendly, well-trained staff. One of the goals of the site is to give patients a sense of familiarity with the practice, even before their first visit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I discovered <a href="http://flutter.freshout.us/" target="_blank">Flutter</a> the other day . It&#8217;s a fairly new product, but it looks extremely promising. I used ExpressionEngine a little at my last job, and it was okay. I wasn&#8217;t too impressed with it though, considering you have to pay a per-site fee. That, and there was a ton of EE only functions and tags to learn.</p>
<p>Flutter promises to bring some of the nice features of ExpressionEngine to the Wordpress scene, absolutely free. That&#8217;s good news, I look forward to experimenting with the plugin in the near future.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a video showing how easy it is to set up custom write panels:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Preferred Care at Home approached Angel &amp; Associates about modifying or re-doing their website, they had no way of modifying their site without going through their old developers. They wanted a site that was dynamic and would be easy to modify and add to. We worked closely with them to build a database driven site that is easy to navigate, and is also easy to keep up to date.</p>
<p>The site is capable of multiple blogs and has a number of pages which the PCAH administrators can modify. They can easily modify franchisee information or add new franchisees without assistance from us. We are available to help with changes to the less dynamic pages that rarely need changing, while they can control the pages which require more frequent modification.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seasons of Farragut is a new women&#8217;s health clinic west of Knoxville, Tennessee. The challenge here was to take the website of a sister organization in Louisiana and modify it for the new clinic in Tennessee. We were able to maintain the existing look and feel, and at the same time add a few personal touches to give the Farragut office its own personality.</p>
<p>This site also incorporates extensive blog posts, which help it show up in search engines, as well as its own search feature for finding items of interest on the site.</p>
