			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If all you&#8217;ve thought of semantics are the way web markup is written, then you&#8217;ve missed the bigger picture of using properly structured, correct (W3C) markup &#8211; and how it applies to better search engine ranking.</p>
<p>There are those who think that it shouldn&#8217;t matter whatsoever that a website riddled with depreciated, 90&#8242;s style tag soup should rank just as well as a semantically correct and valid site does. Well, in a perfect (or imperfect!) world, that should be the case, but if you put some common sense into your thinking then I hope you will see that this is not necessarily the case.</p>
<p>A site that is properly structured:</p>
<blockquote><h1>Main Page Title</h1>
<h2>Page Sub title</h2>
<p>This is the content</p>
<h3>This is a sub title</h3>
<p>Points for sub title
</p></blockquote>
<p>Any SE will be able to translate what your page is about, and how much relevance your content is to a users search criteria. Why not make it easier for SEs to read your pages?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are actually a few great plain old WordPress themes to build on. What you  want to look for in a plain old theme is semantically correct, W3C valid XTHML markup that goes into each template based PHP file, and the accompanying external CSS file of course.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll let you all Google  for great themes, but I suggest the one at <a href="http://www.plaintxt.org/" target="_blank">plaintxt.org</a>. That theme is called <a href="http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/" target="_blank">the sandbox</a>, and besides being highly configurable, it is a gem if you want to learn about PHP and CSS. Simply viewing the source code, which is highly commented, you can learn tons of great tips and techniques.</p>
<p>To cut on the costs you can also go for <a href="http://www.sharphosts.com">cheap web hosting</a> to launch a site. The <a href="http://www.sharphosts.com/rev/netfirms.htm">netfirms</a> like <a href="http://www.sharphosts.com/rev/startlogic.htm">startlogic</a> bring you with advanced site designs and ways to get your website made. The <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/os/comments/emailauthentication_testing/516761-100002.htm">best domain host</a> companies can also be contacted in order to register the name and address of your site in accordance with your choice. The <a href="http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrscurrent/Vol14_Ch0701-0853/HRS0711/HRS_0711-1111.htm">linux shared hosting</a> is another plan of action you can go for in order to get your site hosted.</p>
