So many blog updates this week! Jimminy Christmas! Let's see if I can muscle my way into the party with a pretentious quote...

Niccolo Machiavelli once said: “There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.”

I cite the famed Florentine patriot for two reasons. One, this is my introductory blog post and second week as an editor with LifeTips. Thank you. I feel very warm and welcome. And two, in my time as an editor with LifeTips and various other (much, much lesser) media outlets I have seen SEO go from an advanced practice the Slashdot crowd mastered to rule over the cowering Internet masses to an editorial standard and an absolute must for those looking to increase their presence on the Web. As publishers attempted to incorporate SEO into the editorial process, the scribes would often revolt; resulting in bloody clashes (figuratively) and ghastly groans (literally).

While the struggle to change the editing habits of grammar-junkies continues, it is clear that the new SEO order has taken root. As evident by my brief time at LifeTips, my initial impressions of these folks as being on the cutting edge of Internet technology were well founded.

In other words, I think they are all purrrrrtttiiiee.

I think you all are purrtttiiieee too. So drop me a line (comment). Make me feel welcome. And keep checking back as the LifeTips blog obviously drops SEO knowledge like it's hot.

Jamison "Hustle" Cush out!
