Here are my two related questions: How do I market myself to stand out from everyone else in my field? How do I get my audience to notice me?

Why not have an article on what makes something interesting? That`s key to just about any kind of service, product, business, or project, right? And yet all we know is that it holds the attention or it`s engaging. Fine, so what do THOSE words mean? What`s attention? What`s engaging?

Everyone tells you you have to make your Web site interesting. Unh-hunh...but what exactly do you have to do?

Okay, the FIRST rule is no white text on dark backgrounds!

Oh yeah, I just took a quick peek at your site. The readability of your site is horrible. Whenever possible always use black text on a white background. Stay away from reverse type.

LoL yep I changed it thanks! I chose tech over usability first rule was broke in design. I would like to talk more about what is interesting. I have noticed in my 10 years working online that there is a popular crowd effect like school yards where once someone is popular everyone flocks over. I wonder if it`s better to focus on being better or being in the IN crowd?
