This page will include links to new video tutorials, as well as links to some of the previous ones that are necessary to learn about your website.

Introductory Tutorials to Learn About Your New Website

 

Important Information – Be sure to write down your Username and Password for future reference. Three failed attempts at login requires you to contact us to unblock your IP address before you can get back into your website…or you have to wait 24-48 hours if we don’t unblock it. This a security measure to guard against hackers.

Tips: Get Organized Folder – New tutorial. Keep copies of any website images and text you add on your computer in a folder. In my experience in helping people I have found that using an external mouse on your laptop makes editing faster that using the trackpad on your laptop…for most people.
