How do I make new Table of Contents?

Here's an example so you get it: 

==My Table==

blah blah blah

===Red Table===

blah blah blah

====Red Legs====

blah blah blah

===Blue Table===

blah blah blah

====Blue Legs====

blah blah blah

==My Desk==

blah blah blah

Try copying and pasting the above into your page(s) and play around with it.

google_ad_channel = "";
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

How do I add my pages to categories?

Here's how you can add your page(s) to as many categories as you want. You can even add new categories if one doesn't exist for you.

What does this for your pages?

Basically, you will get indexed 10 times better by search engines since now search engines have categories to relate to. The more categories you relate to, the better you will show up for your keywords.

The more categories you have, the better. Having a category is having a page linked to your page. Since the Google PageRank ranks you based on how many links you have coming into your page, the more categories you have, the more chance you will get that high PageRank and rank higher on search engines.

You can even have 300 categories if you want and that'd really boost your PageRank.

<startFeed />

==Title 1==
This is a sample sentence....

==Title 2==
This is a sample sentence....

==Title 3==
This is a sample sentence....

<endFeed />

After that, an RSS button will be create at the bottom of your page. OR you can even just add "&action=feed&feed=rss" on your URL or "&action=feed&feed=atom" for Atom Feeds.

For example, if your page is "http://onebuckwiki.com/Max", then your RSS Feeds address will be "http://onebuckwiki/Max&action=feed&feed=rss".

OR, you can simply just use the RSS button at the bottom.

    • WARNING: If you don't use any titles, your RSS Feed will not work.

==Title 2==
This is a sample sentence....

==Title 3==
This is a sample sentence....

<endFeed />

If you've done the above, you can always add your RSS feed to Feedburner and make it ping automatically to the blogsphere for you. Simply sign up for an account if you don't have one yet, feed your RSS Feed to it. The most important part comes after you feed it, make sure to go to Publicize->Ping Shot and choose "Google Blog Search", "Ping-O-Matic", and 5 blog search engines of your choice.

Advanced Backlinking 2

If you got this far, you can add this piece of code to top of your page:
