"I attended a workshop with Leslie Carruthers and Sage Lewis at the COSE conference three years ago, and it was when I was really starting to research having my own website, and trying to understand search engines. I was a complete newbie at the time, and really learned a lot from the talk with the first real understanding of how search engines worked. Since that talk, I have learned a lot more information that has helped my core business, and my side business of writing articles online, but your start really gave me the right direction to look, and research. Thank you."

—Paula Atwell
