			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I totally own Google for "Carlos d'Avis" (<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=carlos+d'avis" target="_blank">see results</a>) and for "Drew d'Avis" (<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=drew+d'avis" target="_blank">see results</a>) and I am even at number one for "Carlos Drew" and "Andrés d'Avis." I am lacking a bit in other regards. The first result for "Andrew d'Avis" is about me but doesn't lead to this website. More significantly, I think, my beautiful face does not show up for image searches on any of my name combinations. </p>
<p>I am not sure how I would like to approach these "problems," or if I should even define them as such. I certainly have the knowledge and resources to win Google for specific, noncompetitive search terms. Also, there is a two word phrase, both common dictionary entries, that I think I can win over the course of a few months. I do not want to reveal it lest someone steal it from me. I will report back... or not.</p>
<p>I worked a great deal on the design (a custom WordPress theme) for the new <a href="http://raoandpierce.com" title="Seattle Family Law" target="_blank">Rao &amp; Pierce Law Firm</a> website.  You can check out my design in progress <a href="http://rp.drewd.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >here</a>. I love feedback. </p>
<p>I will try to jam another WordPress theme this evening but I am not sure for which website. We shall see. </p>
<p>Oh, and last note, I would like to get some search results for "Carlos d'Avis" pointing to information about my grandfather, for whom I was named. Did I mention that he was a famous doctor in Bolivia and served as the mayor of Cochabamba? A street is named after him there, but searching for "Calle Carlos d'Avis" is problematic because Brian <em>Calle</em> is a good friend of mine. Hilarious. </p>
