You may have noticed the little sayings that I place randomly at the bottoms of every page. I like to impart my tidbits of wisdom on anyone who happens into Project Paradox. However, sometimes the meaning behind my aphorisms isn’t entirely clear. That’s why I put together this list explaining each one of them. “Sanity [...]
An old internet saying goes, “Content is king.” Content gives visitors a reason to spend time on your website, to look at your what you have to offer, and, eventually, to convert. Content also gives search engine spiders something to look at and index, giving you more qualified traffic. Content can easily make or break [...]
It’s a fact; characters end. The game comes to a close, the group goes out in a blaze of glory, or the character meets his fate alone. This is the way is should be, as any story must have an ending. If you read my posts on Character Craft, you’ll realize that part of building [...]

Search engine spiders, on the other hand, are picky little critters that tend to rank your site badly or not at all if it has too much of either. Thus, it becomes very important to regularly review your website [...]
