We Want You ... to Blog!
I've been talking about this thing called blogging for a while.
The reason is simple. I believe that a blog is probably the cheapest and easiest way to build traffic to your site. Mess with meta tags and other tricks all you want. But if you don't have a regular program of adding new fresh UNIQUE content to your website you'll be sure to keep the search engines away.
I believe in this technique and have seen it work first hand for Levelfield/Online Agency and for our customers. Because we know that the built-in Levelfield Blog System is a powerful business tool we have started a new blog, Clarity - Levelfield's Small Business Blog. The new blog will differ from this one in that it will focus more on Business. The Levelfield Broadcast Blog will continue to focus on new features, tricks, and ways you can maximize your Levelfield/Online Agency web site from a more technical point of view.
Check it out now and make sure you let us know what you think. We are putting this together for you to help you grow your business.

Now you see it - Now you don't
The Levelfield Website may have limits but you will be surprised how far you have to go to find those limits. And once you have reached the edge you can actually change the limits if you are willing to do a little bit of work. One easy way is to use CSS and Javascript. With the combination of these two you can add a lot of punch to your pages. I've set up this small example for you.
In the example, I added a few links above the search box and I hide the search box when the page loads. If you click on the links you can hide and show the search box in several interesting ways.
Example: http://content.onlineagency.com/c/0/63/32379_63.htm
The example is using a fine javascript library Jquery and a Jquery plugin called Interface.
How to make a page index using a link box and page tags
The Levelfield.com (TM) / OnlineAgency.com (TM) editing platform makes it easy to link to your pages when you use Link box and Page tags.
Here's a slide show to show you how: http://www.levelfield.com/howtomakealinkboxfromtags.htm
The slide show was made using a combination of the Link Box/ Page Tags and snippet features.
When one is not enough
Using the Levelfield Box and Blocks system you can easily add extra columns to a page.
