My presentations are currently at a much higher level, so cover the basics of running a site rather than detailed SEO advice. For that kind of detail, you might be better off with proper SEO conventions like Think Visibility. With regards to code... search engines only care about the content. They don't 'see' javascript or code like PHP. Therefore use structured HTML (header tags, tables, images with alt text, etc) in the way it should be used. Then get your code to work around it. From a business point of view, don't waste time doing something from scratch where you can use existing code/templates/plugins/libraries to save time. The sooner your site is finished, the quicker you can start making money from it! Hi Julian

As for ideals for topics, I'd love to hear your views on SEO myths and facts, there is so much conflicting information on the internet its hard to whats crap and whats sound advice. It would be good to know if you think it is best to code your site from scratch or wheather you think it is wise to use a template site. Do search engines take note of the code itself or just the content? Anyway, I'll keep checking back for your next presentation.
