29Jul Why this site isn’t in Flash.
I suppose one of the first questions you’ll be asking is “If you’re good at optimising Flash 
why is your site on Wordpress?” and it’d be a fair enough question.
The answer is quite simple, just because I can optimise Flash doesn’t mean I either want to or that it’s easy. Indeed given the choice I’d rather just shove a handful of SEO friendly plugins into Wordpress, tinker around with the backend and let it take all of the stress out of the onpage SEO rather than work with almost any other CMS. As a majority of this site consists of my thoughts and ideas the Wordpress format is also more suited to it, I’ve not yet seen a pure Flash blog.
The other reason is that I’m not really much of a Flash designer. Traditionally SEO has been at one end of the scale and Flash sites at the other. Things do look like they’re changing, however I still don’t see Flash as a great platform to optimise for. Things might change so I try and keep at least on the curve for the latest Flash developments.
I think giving an example of my artistic skills should be enough to settle any further questions on this matter.

Flash is going to be indexed soon in Google. They are working on it

Well, whilst you’re just spamming for links, thanks for giving me my first comment and welcome to the blog
Had you looked beyond this first post you’d see most of this blog will be about the progress that search engines are making with indexing of Flash.
Still, stop by whenever. And bring all your friends

We’re looking into options ourselves because it sees hypocritical to have PHP website as Flash SEOs
. Our core website is being reconstructed in Flash now and it looks like we’ll use CoffeeCup’s Flash blog software: http://www.coffeecup.com/flash-blogger/

What is it about this blog that attracts the spammers?
Anyway, apologies for still being lacksidasical with the updates. I’ll keep an eye on your website for updates.
