Not contradictory at all. :) As I said, it depends what he wants to achieve.

For URL's I'd go for dashes, based on the blog post dashes-vs-underscores, written by Matt Cutts, head of the Google's Webspam team.
As for the page titles, not to cause you any confusion Machie, but I'd have to say the opposite to what Garin has, in that I'd be tempted to go for "Singapore Food - Learn The Language", because that is what that particular web page is about.

It depends what you want to achieve. Obviously what comes first is more important in SEO terms. I'd be tempted to put Learn The Language first at the moment simply because I'd assume its more important you establish that in search engines rather than Singapore Food.

Like with most SEO topics theres always some debate as nobody is ever 100% certain how certain engines handle things. The general concensus seems to be that a dash is better. Yet the original source of this claim seems to be several years old now so whether its true now I dont know. Dash seems the best option anyway.
You mentioned wikipedia, I doubt page title has that much bearing on ranking in those sorts of pages because its so keyword rich anyway and wikipedia already has a high page rank.

I can't find any information/tips on titling pages.
Everyone seems to do it different. Some have the site name at the beginning (sometimes abbreviated) followed by the real page title. Others have the page title followed by the site title, or sometimes no site title at all.
Learn The Language - Singapore Food
Singapore Food - Learn The Language
What do you think?
I suppose if I had lots of windows open on my site or lots of bookmarks then having "Learn The Language" at the front would be annoying/pointless. That and the favicon should be enough to remind the users what site it is.
One other thing, when naming folders and threads which way is best?
Machieisthebest/
Machie-is-the-best/
Machie_is_the_best/
I did some googling and it said - were better than _ for google searches. That google ignores underscores and to find Machie_is_the_best/ you would actually have to type in Machie_is_the_best to find the page.
But what about Wikipedia? Why do they do everything with underscore?

I wouldnt worry about using the "latest", rather the doctype you've built the site for. I seem to recall suggesting you to use
so some of the stuff I showed you would work correctly.

You should avoid relative links really (ie no ../) as its makes thing easier to maintain in the long run. Yet including the full domain is overkill too. If its on the same server then its sufficient to do

Of course. My pants are particularly fetching too. :)
Do you have an S under that office shirt of yours? =)
Okay another update, going to uploading the proper "coming soon" pages tonight. More pages soon to follow.
EDIT: Slight delay :) perhaps another time.

Everybody knows Garin is my secret identity, so you wont find anything especially not from silly sites like gooogIe. :P By day I'm just a mild-mannered genius. By night, I'm (super) Garin!
