YouCanDigitize site updated...

On Thursday we updated the software that runs the YouCanDigitize site... 

There were some security updates and some new tools added for me to implement as time permits, but for our members of the YCD site, hopefully, nothing looks different.  If you are one of our members there and anything looks funky now, please let me know via message or email so I can fix it. 

One update that you may notice now on YCD is that if you make a new password it must be a minimum of 8 characters long, have a capital and a small letter in it, and have a number in it too.  This is the same requirement as on ATW since a year ago but just now added to the YCD site. 

Speaking of passwords - here's an article on how to make and remember unique and secure passwords for every site you visit! 

This is what I showed on the 4/2 show of "10 Saturday" but I have had so many people ask for this info that I am publishing a link to it again...



That is a page that anyone can view - not just members of our sites.  Hopefully you will find it as useful as others have if you choose to change your passwords to make them secure and unique for each site.  


The video showing my "Password System" is on YouTube now.  The password technique - is at 36:20 into the video...


There are almost 1,000 views on that video in the first 10 days, so I know a few of our newsletter readers have already seen it but there are lots of you who still haven't and it's got a lot of good info as well as a set of freebies giveaway near the end of the video. 


Join our live audience at 10 AM Saturday morning!

( 11 AM Eastern = 10 AM Central = 9 AM Mountain = 8 AM Pacific )

Use this link to register now...


Registering now will automate sending you a login page link and reminder one hour before the show.  We can accommodate up to 1,000 live guests with our current software.  I am also working on learning another broadcasting program that will allow several thousand live viewers and hope to have that working by May 1st.   

Your Questions For Our Guests...

If you have a question you'd like me to ask our show guests, please email it or text it to me now.   

Here are the guests lined up for our next couple shows.

4/23/2016 - My guest will be Bernie Griffith - the Sales Manager for Generations company.  Generations is shipping it's new version of their software ( Home ver 2.0 ) now.  Bernie will tell us what's new and answer questions from the audience. 

4/30/2016 - My guest will be Rosemary Smith - District Sales Manager for Tacony Corporation. ( AKA: "Baby Lock" )  Baby Lock is the corporate sponsor ( I hope I got that term correct ) for the American Embroidery Conference in May.  Rose will be here to tell us about what's new at Baby Lock and what the attendees there will be able to get their hands on at the AEC. 


If YOU have an idea for guest on the show - please let me know who they are and I will see what I can do about arranging a slot for them. They can be in the sewing, quilting, embroidery, machine, or related fields, as long as our members would find it interesting to listen in and ask questions.
