Updated blog!
The sawdust has been swept away and I think reconstruction is done. We have rebuilt our blog and we feel we have greatly improved it. If you have any comments on the new blog, feel free to let us know.
Some of the changes:
- We have added About Us with pictures!
- We have added buttons so you can easily subscribe to our blog
- We have changed the layout for easier access to everything.

We are in the process of redoing our website so don’t worry that things look a little weird, we will get it looking better soon.
An easy way to look at all files in a particular folder & subfolders in ACDSee Photo Manager
Right click on the folder of the one you want to see the contents of (including the subfolders)
Accept the default options that come up and click Start.
The contents of that folder and subfolders should be returned for you to view.
I found this much easier than selecting the boxes in the folder pane to view contents of multiple folders.

Digital Scrapbookers need to track of so many things … & this is free!
As a digiscrapper I keep track of so many things! ACDSee keeps the kits organized that I buy, but before they are bought there is so much to keep track of:
- kits that I like
- coupon codes
- chat dates
- things to do (especially if you’re on a CT - sometimes notes are good)
- special upcoming events at forums
Cheryl - ‘lcbannon’- told me about Evernote.com
It’s a free resource that is really very cool! You can copy & paste notes into it & it just keeps adding new notes. Deleting old ones is easy. The coolest thing that I think is that you can drag the icon to the left of an html address into Evernote & it creates a clickable link! And you can also do THAT with images!! When you do it with images, it adds all of the site information making a clickable link so you can go back later & read more, or buy it. This software is so intuitive with it’s click & drag responsiveness!
Here’s an example of an image of a product at DigiShopTalk.com that I dragged into Evernote. And it created a clickable link on the bottom right. Cool eh?! You can download it here.
Thunderbird - The ultimate solution for digital scrapbookers to manage multiple email accounts.
Everyone is using Firefox & loving it as a browser! but did you know that there is also an email client (it used to be Netscape)? And it does one fantastic job of arranging all of your emails into a file tree. The email can be coming in from a variety of addresses and when you send out - it appears as if it’s coming from that address. So for example, I have both a DigiScrapInfo.com email address and a gmail address coming in. The first has a signature & the gmail doesn’t - so they act independently. You can create folders & sort your mail in whichever way suits you! And one day I realized that I can drag email from one account to the other.
It’s free! and there are two things involved:
1) Install Thunderbird from here (and we also recommend the Firefox browser too)
2) and to change Gmail into a pop account - meaning that Thunderbird (the email client) reads it and when it’s sent out - it appears to be sent from Gmail too. (if you have Yahoo - you can pay to do the same - but I chose to not send them money… no way). Other email services may work - especially from websites. (I have instructions that are easy to follow).
It only takes about 15 minutes to set up. Tonite I helped someone add a 2nd account that wasn’t gmail and I can post those instructions if you’d like them? And this is a personal issue I have - but as a recipient, it makes me so irritated …to have to scroll down to read replies - please change your preference to put your reply above the quote;
1) in Thunderbird - go to Tools | Account Settings
Composition & Addressing — change the pull down to: ‘Start my reply ABOVE the quote’
There is also a blog reader that can be added. This is a huge timesaver if you love reading digiscrapping blogs! You can subscribe to them & see when they’re updated.
And finally, someone had wanted Thunderbird to sort their email as it came in into folders. So here are those instr’s.
Enjoy!
