Getting Locked Up
Thursday, August 26th, 2010
Level 2 is participating in this years MDA Lockup. What the heck is that? It’s the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s way to raise money for research to fight the disease. We are going to be carted away in a patrol car and put in maximum security prison for a year until we have raised the bail set for us. Well… maybe not maximum security prison for a year, but we are getting carted off in a patrol car. Help us raise bail and support a cause that we have been affected by. Tyler and I have family that has suffered from Freidreich’s Ataxia, a form of Muscular Dystrophy and we want to do our part to help. You can donate and help us raise “bail” here – https://www.joinmda.org/2010chattanooga/nate We greatly appreciate your help.
Calling Creatives & Developer Freelancers
Friday, August 13th, 2010
We are trying to gauge interest in a creative co-op with other freelancers in the area. We are opening up the idea to website/graphic designers, developers, copywriters, architects, and photographers. If you are in other creative professions, we are open to you as well. We want to provide a low-cost creative environment for you to call your office that isn’t your home, or the coffee shop.
We have tried working from home, and it sucks. We have also experienced a community of creative people that bounce ideas off of each other, and it rocks. That is what we are creating, so let us know if you want in.
Email coop@level2d.com if you have any questions, or if you are interested.

How Much Tweeting is Too Much
Monday, December 21st, 2009
Unfollow. That’s what people will do if you Tweet too much.
Twitter is designed to connect people. “Share and discover what’s happening right now, anywhere in the world.” is their tagline. It is a great tool for individuals as well as businesses. However, it can also deter your audience.
Denee King of SheJustGotMarried.com is an expert at marketing her site through social networking. She has 1,475 followers and has done that without any previous recognition. She tweets about 5 times a day about things her followers might be interested in on her blog. She says, “I don’t want to be “THAT” annoying Twitterer”.
Our suggestion is no more than 3-5 tweets a day. A couple more a day won’t hurt anyone, but if you stick with that average your tweeting will be more successful. That consistency will result in more interest in your tweets, and keep you on their mind. A couple of clichés to remember “Less is more” and “Out of sight, out of mind”. You want to provide substantive tweets, without disappearing.
Content is key. A link to you site for links sake is annoying, but a link to content that your followers will find valuable is priceless. Obviously you can’t be too wordy, but too short is also a problem.
Here are some valuable places to get Twitter stats on your own twitter account, and how you use it, along with how others use it:
CSS Hacking
Monday, December 14th, 2009
I know this is old news, but we have to deal with IE and CSS issues all the time. I was using a technique that I called the “red-headed step child method,” which uses the CSS child selector, but it seems that IE has changed something that kept it from working. So I’ve figured it out again. Here is a sample:
.pricing {margin:9px auto;}
html>/**/body .pricing{margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:15px;}
With the above, IE will pick up the first statement. Whatever you need to change for the other browsers, you use the html>/**/body selector. IE will not pick up this statement with the /**/ included. Let me know what you think about this fix and what techniques you use.
Bringing Up New Talent
Saturday, November 7th, 2009
Talent is hard to find these days, so I thought we would recruit within, and teach early. Seriously, I love getting to draw with Phillip. He is going to be good.
Being Busy is Good
Friday, October 2nd, 2009
We just finished a website for Jon & Gina Brunson, and their tv show Addicted to the Outdoors. It has been great working with Jon, and we feel like it has turned out great. Keep an eye on the site because we will be adding things shortly.
