Hi, I am Humous.

I've been working on websites on and off for the last 6 years but I have come from an IT support background. I started learning web design with asp for a telco, then started working for a local reatail company designing their new site which never got launched (unrelated problems) which at the time was just plain HTML. I am now working for an electronics company in Clacton and am maintaining a site which is generated using a Perl/MySQL backend which I have enjoyed thorougly, I am trying to learn PHP which I hope to use to replace the perl generated site.

I'm now starting to design sites for friends (and friends of friends) in the evenings/weekends.

I look forward to talking to you all.
Humous

Umungst a whole host of projects I have on the go (I find it hard to concentrate on any one) I'm looking into SEO for the site I maintain, I think it was a lot easier in the old days when all you had to worry about was keywords/meta tags, I think there's a lot more going on now, that's actually what brought me to Webmaster World in the first instance.

I've already found a few usefull (free) tools, I've adjusted our tags and some of the links/main areas to make them more search engine friendly, just waiting to see if they make any difference.

What is it that interests you about SEO as a living? (other than the money)

Just as well I forgot to say "thank you" to Rakib as Melkior replied while I was writing. Thank you all.

Hi Humous , welcome to UKWW. It`s nice to see a person that introduces himself so well. I feel that you will become an active member ( just give it a while to get caught in the spell of the forum), since you are willing to learn so many.
