What is a blog?

Blog Defined
"A weblog or blog is a web-based publication of periodic articles (posts), usually presented in reverse chronological order. It is an online journal with one or many contributors." - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Blogging made easy

Levelfield (TM) makes small business blogging easy by integrating its blogging capability right into the webpage. You don't have to know HTML, PHP, ASP, JAVA, Javascript, etc. You just get it with your Levelfield (TM) /Online Agency account. If you can point, click and write you can add one or a million blogs. Just get busy. With your Levelfield (TM) website you can set up as many "Blogs" as you wish. You cqn "publish" your blogs using RSS. One useful and cool feature is you can use your own RSS by using the Levelfield (TM) Feed Block found in the Levelfield (TM) Content Box.

We use our own Small Business products

As is the case with all of the software that we sell to the small business community, we use the built in blog and the RSS feed. For example our use of the RSS feed made it possible for us to double the traffic to our website in just one month.

Will you be able to do the same?

Perhaps. Many of the Levelfield (TM)/Online Agency (TM) customers get much more traffic to their website than we do. In each case, the small business is getting the word out powerfully by combining their successful business plan with the very affordable, capable, and flexible small business website from Levelfield (TM).

Think content not blog!

The Levelfield (TM) Log is an extremely powerful and easy way of adding content. You can quickly add and categorie your content complete with an image. The log pages are managed for you and can serve many purposes.

How we use the builtin Blog/RSS

We use the Levelfield (TM) broadcast log to announce new product features, as a way to present editoral comment, as a way to document various product features, and as a sales tool during the actual sales process.
