Last night I checked the Surchur web site for currently-active keywords. For once there was an "actionable" keyword, rather than celebrity names and sports heroes.

To take advantage of this rare opportunity, I spent the night writing "Is Demand for Scarce Crude Oil the Only Cause of High Gas Prices?" for Suite 101.

This striking image is just one of five I found to illustrate different facets of my article.

As demand for crude oil rises, will the cost of gasoline increase too? What else influences gas prices? Is there anything consumers could possibly do to reduce gas costs? Is OPEC so completely in control of crude oil prices that they can set the price of gas autonomously?

As always, I also promoted this article in my DeHaan Services blog, although "Linking Gas Prices and Crude Oil Prices" adds little to what you have read here and should read at Suite 101.

While writing an article for Environmental Graffiti today, I decided that it needed a map.

I also needed to test a link to "Ladybird Spider (Eresus cinnaberinus)"


Writing Tips for Keywords

Today's writing tips all relate to key words.

Regularly check for the hot trends in key words.

After finding one you like, come up with synonyms and related phrases: probably they will either be good for searches or for advertising.

Research your subject and write your article. Find ways to use the keywords in the title, sub-headings, image captions, and especially in the text.

    Flexible Sidebar

    Weebly's "Blog Author" widget from the Blog Sidebar's Elements menu provides a lot of flexibility. You can change both the title and the text.

    It has all the capabilities for text editing that you find in most Weebly text widgets.

    At this point, I don't see a way to code any HTML in this widget.

    The "Picture" does what you expect: it displays an image of your choice. I just added my home-made picture of "Copyright DeHaan Services 2013" as the top element in this sidebar on Jan. 22, 2013.

    The "Search Box" is a "Pro" feature; if you're paying for Weebly hosting, it may be worthwhile.

    The other widgets are pre-programmed to do what they say.
