isPermaLink="false">http://rising.blackstar.com/?p=2078#comment-2442</guid> <description>Great post! Most photographers don&#039;t seem to understand how much potential business they&#039;re losing by choosing a flash template for their website. It&#039;s easy to get lured in by the interactivity and ease of use, but without a solid foundation of html content, it&#039;s impossible to have a website that is optimized for search engines like google. lifeisartphoto.com shows that a site can have a beautiful and engaging design, while still attracting the search traffic that so many businesses have unknowingly left on the table. Hope there more detailed photography/website/seo posts in the works, this is the kind of insight small business owners NEED.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Great post!
