There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

How Can I do the CSS-Content-Order-Flip for Better SEO in ATA?

I noticed that content early in the code of the page is indexed better and more pervasively than others.

-Which has led to some equally hilarious, atrocious and saddening SEO on this ATA blog and others previous.

*So My Question is This: How can I adjust ATA's settings so that I can put the Center Content Column First in the code of a 3-column page, so that's what Google reads first+most importantly, -with the sidebars code following after,

-In the style of what this guy did here: http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/perfect-3-column.htm

*Note: The key problem being that ATA uses tables w/divs inside, instead of All Divs.

Thank You!

Title, H1, Url, description, categories, tags, all point to their subject matter; -but the GOOG still decides they've just GOT to be about, "December"
-lulz! I am baffled. )

In short, you would have to rewrite a bunch of the theme.

@JuggleDad:
Thanks for the _Very_ Fast Reply!!!

-So, basically my sidebar & center content is in the DIVs, which are trapped in the TDs, and there is No Way to Re-CSS them Laterally after I'd attempted to put the hottest content highest in the page-code?

Am I right in guessing by what you said, that I'd have to go into the ATA Theme Templates, remove all the TABLE bits and then apply MatthewJamesTaylor's trick to what remains?

-If that's true (?), then the only Easy way to get the hottest content earliest in page-code, without all that surgery, is to switch to a 3-Col: Content-Side-Side config?

I have no idea if you can re-work the theme to what you want. What I said is if you want to do what the other post suggests, you will have to modify theme code.

Frankly I don't worry about SEO other than creating original fresh content. The rules for SEO change on a continuious basis so what may game the system today may fail tomorrow. the only known effective SEO rule is 'original fresh content'

p.s. the article you reference is from 2007
