As I had mentioned, you can watch over my shoulders as I work on making this a cool site for a cool guy. Here is what I have done to get this off the ground:

1. I used a blog to get a headstart. This took away a lot of designing time and also allows me to add new pages quickly and easily. While Wordpress is a good choice for this (also FREE), I used Semiologic that comes bundled with several SEO enhancements and other plugins bundled, while retaining the Wordpress engine.

2. I setup a link from one of my high Pagerank web sites so that Google and other search engines can take note of this site and spider it quickly.

3. I activated the Google sitemap plugin and pinged Google, so that they take notice of this site.

And now the part that matters most to you –

4. I activated the Dofollow plugin. This means that when you post a comment on this blog, you can get a little link juice back to your site. Of course, spammers are not welcome. I have plugins to shoo away the spambots and manually moderate the comments, so please leave a meaningful comment or a nice cheer for me so that I get tempted to approve your comment.

How's that about a Win-Win deal? You have to click on the comments link at the end of this post to post a comment - if you cheer me, we can win this game.
