Wed, 22 Feb 2012

In January, the U.S. economy added 243,000 jobs — a very significant improvement over the December number of 200,000. This was enough to shave another 0.2 percent off the unemployment rate, bringing it down to 8.3 percent. At LevelTen, we're working to make March numbers even better!

Business is good so we're adding another member to the team. Here's what we need:

Web Words Explained: Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization, or SEO, has become a complex but necessary beast over the years. Back in the day, a company who wanted to be found easily was named something like AAA Cleaners or Aardvark Plumbing in order to be listed at the top of their category in the phone book.

Videos are one of the most common types of results on Google and we want to make sure that your videos get indexed. Today, we're also launching video support for schema.org.

There is no doubt that Drupal 7's admin is light years better from a usability perspective. Yet, even with all the enhancements, we find site admins still stumbling to manage their content. Over the last few months we have worked out a set of enhancements that have made our clients lives much easier. So we thought we would share.
