Proper computer maintenance
It seems like somethings need a constant reminder. You should not run your computer without some version of anti-virus software. Also I do not recommend using the preview pane in outlook. Previewing a malitous email is just like reading it. The cost in hours to rebuild a machine is enourmous.
Apply a double Opt In Policy In Contact Crazy
Contact Crazy users now have the option to have a double opt in policy with their email subscribers. This option sends an email to any new contact requesting that they confirm their email address and gives permission to email them.
Need to keep your copyright date current
When coding your copyright information at the bottom of the page use {CurrentYear} instead of hard coding the year like 2009. Using {CurrentYear} will be automatically replace based on todays date. This eliminates the need to change your web page each year.
Backup Website
You can now backup your website before making changes. A new feature under utilities allows you to quckly backup all of the database content with one button. Before making changes make a backup just in case.
Applying Credits — Peachtree accounting interface
When applying credits in peachtree if you do not want the credit amount to come back to papertraxs then use APPLY CREDIT as the reference. If you do want it to come back then use any reference other than APPLY CREDIT or anything starting with CR.
Enabling you to modify scheduled messages
You can now modify any scheduled/re-occuring messges without sending them to the draft messages and resubmitting them. Simply go to the Scheduled messages tab under messages and click on the edit button that references the message you want to change. No need to resubmit.
Adding Page Titles, Keywords and Description to hot box detail pages

If your hot box definition does not contain those fields then ask your web designer or call 4intranets 330-665-9933 and we will be glad to add those fields to your definition
The Importance of Page Titles and Meta Data
When search engines look at your site they look at the page titles, Meta Desc and Meta keywords to see how to catagorize your pages. They want there to be meaningfull data as page titles and they want all of your pages to have a page title as well as a desc and keywords.
To assign these elements to your virtual pages you need to edit your virtual pages and click on the meta data tab. There you will find the fields that need to be filled out for your site to have meaningfull meta data. keep your page titles to a brief description 50-60 characters.
meta desc should be no more that 200 characters and keywords should also be no more than 200 characters.
