OK, today seems to be the glorious day of odd things in the logs. I'm not sure why I never noticed this one before, but here it is... "Google Wireless Transcoder;"

This was show after the user-agent sting. And if you lookup who it is from, you get this guy... http://www.google.com/gwt/n

It is a little toy that basically strips websites down to barebones so they can be viewed on mobile systems. Now this makes me wonder if it would be possible to use a metatag to signal Google that you have a separate mobile website already available... hmmmm...

Welcome!

Wonder where to start with your web design business?

This blog follows along with my efforts to build and grow a website design business, Pro Content and Design.

The goal of this blog is to fill in blanks that may be empty as you get your business rolling.

This blog, particularly the source code section, is not intended for beginners. If you are not comfortable with databases, Ajax, DOM objects and other advanced methods, I strongly suggest you go take a look over at W3 Schools before even reading -- let alone tinkering with -- any of the code here.

I hope this blog has some value to web designers as they attempt to get their businesses going.

Good luck, and happy reading.

Thank you,
John Crawford
