The Value of Blogs for your web site...

I've been building several Blogs this year and often get asked, 'Why should I have a Blog?'.

Well, the fact is, fresh content attracts more attention from search engines. Search engines love fresh content and there is no EASIER way to create relevant regular content than a blog.

Search engines crawl websites with fresh content more regularly. Although search engines will come past your site frequently, daily or even weekly visits are limited to sites that are more popular and more importantly, those with regularly changing content.

If you've been wondering if your company should have a Blog, contact me and I'll help you set one up in a way that suits your company.

Terrestrial Parks of Vancouver Island...

Victoria is located within the Coastal Douglas Fir Biogeoclimatic Zone, which is only found on the southern and southeastern fringes of Vancouver Island and to most of the southern Gulf Islands.

The Coastal Douglas Fir Zone is home to a unique and sensitive group of ecosystems that includes seaside parkland, dry forest, rock outcrop, and wetland habitats and contains many rare plants.

One of the best places to see a remnant old-growth Douglas Fir ecosystem is on the grounds of Royal Roads University, in Colwood. Some Douglas Fir trees at this site are over 800 years old.

East Sooke Park is an excellent place to see Arbutus trees, second-growth Douglas Fir, and coastal bluffs, along the oceanside trail.

Marine Ecosystems...

A multitude of marine ecosystems together characterize the ocean. The ocean is the largest aquatic system on the planet,
covering over seventy percent of the Earth’s surface. The habitats that make up this system range from very productive
nearshore and shallow water regions to dark abyssal regions more than 4000 metres below the ocean’s surface.

British Columbia’s Pacific coast is a biologically diverse and productive temperate marine environment. Island archipelagos, deep fjords, shallow mudflats and estuaries, kelp and eelgrass beds, strong tidal currents and massive upwellings all contribute to extra-ordinarily high biodiversity. The abundance of coastal marine life not only contributes to the complexity and total biomass of the marine food web but also provides food for terrestrial animals such as otters, eagles, ospreys, bears, raccoons, mink and humans.
