Thanks for the info Keith.

We have a sitemap we just don’t have it linked to any pages so its not viewable by the public unless you type in the address yourself.

As for the alt tags, yes we should probably do this, and i suspect if i talk to the other mike we will start doing this.

Thanks for the link, I’ll take a read when i get some free time from writing posts and learning some php haha

Michael – Here are a few things that you can do to improve upon your already wonderful website.

– Create a human readable privacy policy.
– Create a machine readable (p3p) privacy policy.
– Ensure your site is COPPA compliant.
– Add an ICRA content label.
– Review the standard HTML accessibility guidelines.
(i.e. add “alt” tags to your images, etc…).
– Add a human readable sitemap.
– Add a machine readable sitemap.
(you may already have this)

I am currently writing a set of articles entitled the “WordPress Webmaster Checklist” that describe in detail these topics as well as other website development topics. You can take a look at these articles by following the link below.

Good luck and keep up the great work!

Michael – Those are excellent stats for only a single month’s work! Keep up the good work. I really like the simplicity and cleanliness of your theme. Your content is also fun and easy to read yet still very informative. I think you will see some huge growth in your website traffic if you keep posting useful content like this.
