I&#8217;m not referring to search engine ranking, but meeting the expectation of site visitors when they first arrive on your site.

		<description><![CDATA[Late last year, I wanted to verify thoughts I had on web design and the industry, specifically related to the web design process. I tapped my network at LinkedIn to poll. The results are definitely not scientific, as the questions were polled at different times, with different responders. Consider this just a quick check into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The topic of using text-decoration versus border-bottom for hyperlinks recently cross my mind. To be honest, I had never consider the effects and impacts of these two different implementations. However, since playing with these concepts, it has become quite an important usability item to me.  
Text-Decoration
The CSS text-decoration property is the default link property [...]]]></description>

Multiple CSS Classes
First, you may not be aware that you can use multiple css classes on elements. Example:
&#60;p class="classone classtwo"&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
Here&#8217;s where the power comes in. [...]]]></description>

So why do your websites still read &#169; last year or worse?
