[stylist] Request for advice, at the risk of asking a foolish question ...

[James Canaday M.A. N6YR]

Donna,
if your google alert is like the one I use, it won't alert you to 
websites.  it is a news alert.  thus, I have the name of the rural 
community where I grew up as a google alert.  any news article 
mentioning prunedale results in an e-mail.

angela, the metatext is very very powerful.  and it is good to cast a 
broad net if you wish to maximize your readership.
so, your metatext could have numerous words and phrases.  some of the 
politically correct terms for blind people should be in it 
too.  cane, and orientation and mobility, discrimination  and 
discrimination against the blind.  it would not be excessive to have 
three or four lines of metatext.
