The Future of Learning: How Technology is Transforming Public Schools: Scott Kinney

Many people can become completely overwhelmed with the process of optimizing their website. Often times, every change you make leads you to another change you need to make. At times the process begins to seem endless.

One issue that causes this, is trying to focus on too many things at once. Approaching this process one baby step at a time is absolutely vital.

YOU HAVE TO LEARN SEO STEP BY STEP

Okay, I know many of you have heard me ask this multiple times, but I am bound to ask it many more times over the coming months.

QUESTION: How do you eat an elephant?

ANSWER: One bite at a time . . . (serious groaning here!)

Now let’s begin to focus on things that will help you keep on track, without becoming totally overwhelmed.

One of the most powerful methods of overcoming this feeling is to put yourself in a position to be able to enjoy rapid rewards for the work that you do. Every step you take is bringing you in the right direction.

HOWEVER, many of us are perfectionist . . . (you already know who you are)

If you wait for your site, (or even a page for that matter) to be perfect before uploading changes, it will take far too long for you to see results. If every change you make brings you a little closer to your target, you get excited. You actually begin to see where you are headed. The more excited you get, the easier it becomes to follow the steps without becoming discouraged.

DO NOT WAIT TO PUBLISH (UPLOAD) CHANGES!

- Once you have selected the title for your page, make the change and publish the page.

- Once you have added some content while working on keyword density, publish the page again.

- Once you have added effective alt tags to a page, publish the page again.

- Once you have added effective heading tags, publish the page again.

- Once you add an effective keyword meta tag, publish the page again.

- Once you add an effective description meta tag, publish the page again.

- Once you have added some effective anchor text links, publish the page again.

- Once you have added title attribute tags to your links, publish the page again.

First, you will begin to rapidly see the results of all your hard work, one step at a time. The second benefit of this method of continually uploading your changes, is that Google LOVES new content. The more “spider food” you feed the bots, the more often they will return looking for more changes.

Above all, relax and have fun.

Don’t worry about how much you are able to do at a time. Do what you CAN do as you can do it. Every baby step brings you that much closer.

Just take things one step at a time at a pace comfortable for you.

I WILL DEFINITELY SEE YOU AT THE TOP!

    This is one of those videos you have to watch more than once to really understand the message. Very simple, yet powerful. Should be seen every year, by every teacher, everywhere.

    I'm not in automotive engineering myself, but I have been using 3D mechanical CAD for over 15 yrs.

    Automotive engineering will encompass many engineering disciplines, eg Industrial Design, Mechanical, Software, Electronics, Test to name but a few.

    To gain an automotive job in any of the fields you would probably need to have some level of previous experience or have graduated from a course that specializes in that field.

    CAD is basically a tool that allows an engineer to generate and develop designs virtually, but before an engineer can design anything in CAD, he/she needs to have an underlying knowledge of their field, which they can use to steer their design process.

    Providing you have good qualifications an employer may take you on without experience using a specific CAD package, as most automotive engineering disciplines will make use of high-end CAD packages, some of which will be bespoke to that job. Training for these types of CAD packages us usually provided by the employer. Many university courses include hands on CAD training but it may not be the soft ware that your end employer uses.

    You will also find that many of these fields have a cross over
    with each other, and the use of CAD packages and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software is now allowing teams of engineers, located in numerous sites around the world, to work concurrently on design projects.

    My advise would be to choose a course in the field you want to enter, that includes hands on CAD use, so you can get as much exposure to CAD as possible, whilst still learning the general sublect.

    You should try and find some work experience in that feild, so you can get your foot in the door. Once in, if you can proove your willingness to learn & work, you may be offered a job. Then you can climb the ladder to the job you want, gaining experience along the way.

    Here some examples of CAD packages that may be used:

    Industrial Design:
    ICEM surf http://www.icem.com
    ICEM shape

    Mechanical CAD:
    Autocad
    http://www.autodesk.com

    Catia
    http://www.3ds.com

    PTC Pro/Engineer
    PTC Pro/Mechanica
    http://www.ptc.com

    Electrical CAD:
    Mentorgraphics Expedition
    Flomerics Flotherm.

    There is also a good CAD publication called MCAD which shows emerging CAD technologies, which may well be used in the automotive industry: http://www.mcadonline.com/

    I just found this site which may be worth a look:
