It's Time To Break The Underscore Habit

   Previously, Jason Whiteman would name all of my files with underscores as spaces.  This is a carry_over [sic] from the DOS days where underscore ("_") was the only valid character to serve as a space.  However, due to SEO (search engine optimization), Jason is now learning to break that habit and name files with dashes ("-") as spaces instead.  Sure there are a ton of other techniques to SEO.  However, the "_" to "-" seems most fitting of a highlight from a design engineer.

   To find a large volume of SEO tips, there are plenty of other resources out there.  This blog is no place for a comprehensive guide.
