	Bizzuka Platform Now More Search Engine Friendly As part of Bizzuka's latest release, the OnDeCC platform has become even more search engine friendly. Oh happy day! OnDeCC now offers what we're calling URL Mapping and Custom Page URLs on certain components. URL Mapping A common issue that most people overlook when creating a new Web site is what happens to their current search engine rankings. When you launch a new site, the search engines still look for the old URLs on the old site. Our new URL Mapping feature takes care of that. Read blog post about URL Mapping Custom URLs In addition, our clients are now able to create a customized page URL at the component level. Read blog post about custom page URLs

	FTP Service Now Available FTP is the acronym for File Transfer Protocol (a quick and simple method for copying files from one computer to another). Thanks to the recent restructuring of Bizzuka's file storage system, clients are now able to use FTP to upload files that they would have previously uploaded via Asset Manager. Read blog post

	Friday's User Friendly Thinking Radio Features Mark Dollan of Creative Briefcase Friday, October 3 - On this edition of User Friendly Thinking Radio we interview Mark Dollan, president of Creative Briefcase, a new Web site designed to help creative professionals better manage the business side of their work. Mark is also a Bizzuka reseller partner and owns his own creative design firm, Ixion Creative. Upcoming Episodes We have a great line-up of guests in upcoming episodes of UFT Radio, including: Jackie Huba, co-author of Creating Customer Evangelists and Citizen Marketers Charlene Li, well-known Forrester research analyst and co-author of the new book Groundswell John Jantsch, author of Duct Tape Marketing Michelle Miller, author of The Soccer Mom Myth and well-known marketing expert. Anita Campbell, small business diva Richard Binhammer, customer evangelist at Dell and many more Don't miss a single episode! We are in the process of creating a new "resources" section on the Bizzuka Web site. While it's not ready just yet, we have created a multi-media library where, among other things, we have archived all the User Friendly Thinking Radio podcasts.

	What's Up with All These Jewelry Sites You may have noticed a preponderance of jewelry Web sites being developed lately. (There are three listed in the right hand column of this newsletter and four more in the "new clients" list below.) If you're wondering why so many, it's due to our partnership with Stuller, the leading manufacturer of jewelry projects for independent jewelers and with National Jeweler, the industry's leading trade publication. (And you thought is was our CEO just trying to get a good deal on a diamond ring!) We anticipate this being an area of sizable growth over the next year. So, if you think Bizzuka is now in the jewelry business, you wouldn't be far from wrong. (Though I don't know that John can get a break on a ring because of it.)

	Bizzuka in the Community Bizzuka is a very civic-minded company and we express our commitment to local communities we serve by, among other things, participation in fund-raising drives and civic events. Recently, we participated in the Acadiana Alzheimer's Memory Walk held at the Lafayette zoo. Also, our CEO John Munsell was interviewed by a local TV station because of our sponsorship of the Childrens Museum of Acadiana Reuseum project.
