I am a dad of three wonderful boys. :)

I have taught myself with the assistance of online tutorials, books, and forums everything I know about web developing (no formal education). I've built numerous sites, which "were" 100% in the code. Some of my sites included personal blogs, encyclopedia websites (like Wikipedia), social networking site (like Facebook - in my opinion it was better lol - had an original idea that could've been a hit), and others. Since I've learned WordPress and other applications, I tend to use them more now, just because it's less headache. My NUMBER ONE problem is marketing and getting the word out. I've had rather large websites that took thousands of hours to build, but if noone sees them, what's the point? That's where I've failed in the past. Any help with that is greatly appreciated. I "think" I know MUCH about SEO, but competition among Google and the trillions of websites out there makes it hard to be on the first page of Google.
