Semantic markup helps to make the web “machine understandable”, in other words, it puts the information on the web page in context. By using semantic markup, a search engine is able to differentiate a name from a body of text. It also helps to define the relationship between the various pieces of information, so the name is actually the author of the body of text, which is an article.

An error that I have encountered is the infuriating “fatal: CRLF would be replaced by LF in…”. Not only has this driven me partially mad reading the many, many explanations in Drupal.org and Stackoverflow.com, but it has also halted my progress on a project.
One particular solution is to deactivate it in the git core config using the following line:

Every time some one searches for something using a search engine, calculations are made to decide which websites are relevant. Search engines then list the websites in order of relevancy. Therefore, ensuring search engines can access and understand your website is essential for increasing your websites visibility. This practice of increasing the visibility of a website to search engines such as Google or Bing is known as Search Engine Optimisation, or SEO.

On a somewhat seperate note, it infuriates me some of the advertisements online which are actually pure cons. You’ve probably seen one for the acai berry diet. I know they are cons but decided to click through to see what actually happens. I got taken to some fake blog about some woman who’d done the diet and it was amazing and worked.
