There may be a better way

I was sorta inspired by the stuff going on at Awsom.com and thought [...]
SEO and you! Also, something “Awsom”
Forum poster Rich has written a handy little primer on SEO (search engine optimization) in the tech tutorials section of the Forum.

Lord of the Rings Online, a beta player is me!
