			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A good way to get web site&#8217;s listed on search engines, particularly Google, is to try and get as many links as possible to your site from other sites. So here&#8217;s me being cheeky&#8230;<span id="more-43"></span></p>
<p>One site I&#8217;ve been working on recently is that of the <a href="http://www.egdofe.org/" target="_blank">Duke of Edinburgh&#8217;s Award in East Grinstead</a>. It&#8217;s a basic info site for people thinking of starting the award as well as current participants. Much of the details about the actual award can be found on the <a href="http://www.theaward.org/" target="_blank">official site</a>, so we just concentrate on what&#8217;s going on at the Wallis Open Award Centre.</p>
<p>The site is OO PHP based with a few nifty features as well as a reasonably clean CSS-structured layout (although the W3CÂ validator tells meÂ I still have some work to do).Â I stole the news management code written for <a title=" " href="http://www.eastgrinstead.gov.uk/news/" target="_blank">East Grinstead Town Council</a> and stuck that on there for quick updates to the news section. I&#8217;ve alsoÂ implemented <a href="http://www.egdofe.org/info/calendar.php" target="_blank">Easy PHP Calendar</a> which is a very handy app for managing calendar entries.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also going to link to <a href="http://www.sja.org.uk/felbridge/" target="_blank">St. John Ambulance &#8211; Felbridge and East Grinstead Division</a> &#8211; another of my projects, although as this site&#8217;s been around since about 1998, it&#8217;s visibility is pretty good.<br />
