I have a question regarding the word "Welcome" as seen below in HTML, because the "W" and the "elcome" had to be divided due to web design, will that matter to the spiders and bots, or will they reckognize it for the word it is supposed to be? Or will it seem like a non word so to speak.... and will this effect rank of it does nor rekognize it? THANKS!


<div class="titleLeft">
W
</div>
<div class="titleRight">
elcome
</div>

These are 2 words, I think.
Secondly, you can use other tags than DIV that might not break the word.
DIV in itself is a text/ paragraph seperating tag.
Go with text formatting tags instead.
Try <span>,<B>,<i>,<em>,<strong>,<u> may be...
<div class="title>
<i>W</i>elcome
</div>
In stylesheet you can specify any formatting for <i> in class title.
div.title {
font-size: 9pt;
}
div.title i{
font-size: 30pt;
}
Hope that helps somehow...
Bye

No, bots won't recognize it as one word.

I'm not sure if you just want different formatting, or if it's because the html for your site is so bad that you can't have the entire word in one place (that has got to be some weird html...).

Anyway, if it's just to have different formatting on the first letter then just do it like this:

<style>
P {
font-size: 10pt;
}
P:first-letter {
font-size: 12pt;
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>

<p>Welcome</p>

just keep in mind that IE6ucks doesn't support pseudo classes, other than :hover on a elements.
