If I designed websites - rather than only market them - I could just steal Meta tags from one website and use them on another website.

Search Moms: How DO You Handle It All?
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007I know many women are multi-talented and seem to have eight eyes (including the back of their heads) and 12 hands. My wife seems to know when I’m running late and calls me just when I’m about to leave.
