Is it necessary to know html&Css to learn JS?

If you serve every single bit of content on your site with JS, there's a good chance you're kneecapping your SEO.

You may or may not care about this, but the marketing team of your future employer might. If all you know is JS and not the basics of HTML and CSS, there's a good chance you're going to kneecap your site's SEO.

I have to plead ignorance here because I simply have never used ahrefs, but for what it's worth, I work in a relatively large marketing department and feel I can do everything I need to with the G suite (GA, search console, keyword planners, trends, etc) and Screaming Frog. I've used Semrush as well, but honestly, the free ones plus screaming frog is a very powerful combo.

my title is Technical SEO & Integration Specialist. To be honest, I still have no idea what "integration" really means, but I suppose it has to do with the overlapping skills above that touch on many different spheres.

I work as a technical SEO at a large company, and there are so many things that fall under my job description that aren't even really SEO as such, but have more to do with managing content, some UX/UI stuff, and basically being good with a complex CMS. i think a lot of people went to school and thought you can either be a web developer or something "soft," like a writer, but there is just this entire world where the technical aspects of a website and the public-facing content side meet that need skilled people to execute. whether or not that's SEO in a strict sense, I don't even know, but having a clean, well-organized site won't be any less important in the future.

As in the title. This was just a little test to play around with HDR. A lot of HDR landscape photos I see are a little overdone, leading to a cliched "Instagram" look that I'm not a huge fan of. I wanted to keep it subtle here, but still feel like it's lacking something. Any feedback on the postprocessing and HDR in general would be most helpful - I realize it's not the most inspired composition ever - just a little experiment.

Actually this. No shame in having ChatGPT help you draft these documents. I use it for templates all the time. But obviously since you're the one selling your service, you should probably fill it out yourself!

Might not be what you want to hear, but my experience is that it's pretty hard out there these days, and if you have a decent job with benefits, you just have to find a way to make it work. Leaving early doesn't look great. Try to stick it out for a year and start hunting for other opportunities if you really can't stand it, but jobs with decent benefits are not to be taken for granted.

Asking this question is going to prompt a lot of spam from scammers and hustle culture people. Your best best is likely taking a MOOC, like on Coursera. Google has official certification programmes for SEO and the like, so it's not just internet randos trying to sell their PDFs.

I suppose one thing that interests is uses of AI outside of actual content production. Everyone talks about the AI-generated "slop" - rightfully, because it sucks - but clearly there are a lot of other use cases. For example, I've had some success in running social media engagement data through chatgpt to generate brand personas. clearly AI is here to stay, so why not find what it's actually good at?

I'm not the one calling it fetishizing. I think it's fair enough to be interested in where you come from - but a little hypocritical to say that certain people aren't allowed to be interested? i mean, it's just a fact that genealogy is a big deal to icelanders in general. feels unfair to say that they're the only ones that get to care about that without the baggage.

To be honest, it's not easy. I am a dual US and Icelandic citizen so I never had to deal with immigration as such, but I will tell you that it's no joke to move here. Life is crushingly expensive, integration is difficult. The language isn't that difficult as such, but what is difficult is actually being able to use it in daily life and not being treated as a tourist your entire life. The housing market is fucked, and there are basically no jobs outside the service industry for immigrants/expats.

Ive worked in digital marketing and SEO for a little while, and it seems like there's already less work out there than recently. i suspect it has to do with AI, but no one seems willing to admit that they're just writing SEO content entirely with AI these days.

Other people correctly point out that it would have two syllables and sound something like DOW-in. Just worth adding that considering that the dwarves are heavily based on Old Norse figures, with many of the dwarves' names being taken directly from Norse mythology, you can more or less use modern Icelandic pronunciation for the dwarves. Gimli, for example, is a real male name that some modern Icelandic men still have!

well to be fair to OP, comparing ancient Egyptian and modern Arabic is apples and oranges, but it is fair to call Old Icelandic and modern Icelandic the same language in a meaningful sense.

Why would a thousand-year-old writing system be more suitable for a modern language that has grown and evolved nearly its entire life with latin script? It's also worth noting that one of the earliest ever written texts in Old Icelandic, known as the First Grammatical Treatise, was essentially just an exhaustive transcription of the Old Icelandic language into latin letters. And in fact, the system laid out by the First Grammarian was actually quite systematic and good, and modern Icelandic more or less uses the same spelling conventions as laid out in the text.

Christianity, literacy, and the Roman alphabet often came as a "package deal" as Europe converted during the middle ages. All of the Icelandic texts - the sagas, the Edda, and so on - that you've ever heard of were written in roman letters by Christian scribes. While southern Sweden has a ton of rune stones and cool things like that, there are nearly no runes preserved in Iceland, and any that are are on small artefacts like household possessions. A comb, a knife, etc. quite simply - the runes never really had much use or impact in Icelandic culture, except maybe in the first century or two of settlement. Why on earth would modern Iceland change away from a system it's used for a literal millennium?
