You’ve seen it – now here’s how to fix it…

December 9, 2007

Does this happen on your Web site? Customers go through your shopping cart and as they’re ready to check out, they’re sent to a page to make their PayPal payment. Suddenly they see “Warning – There are secure and un-secure items on the page you requested. Do you want to continue?”

In most cases, the only un-secure item is an image you’ve added to the page… but your customers don’t know that. Here’s how to avoid that message and keep customers from running scared:

When linking to a photo/image contained in your Online Photo Filer account, you now have the option to also grab a secure (SSL) link to that image. It’s the perfect solution when you need to host an image (such as a PayPal logo) somewhere in your checkout process. Do this and all the content will display as secure… and your customers will continue and complete the checkout process.

Dream Whisper Hosting email is now BlackBerry®-compatible…and much more

November 1, 2007

If you use a Dream Whisper Hosting email plan and own a BlackBerry, we have some great news. Now you can receive messages automatically and send email from your device – messages will appear in your plan’s ‘Sent’ items. As your emails are read and deleted, your device and your email service synchronize to display the same messages.

But that’s not all! With the new Desktop Notifier, you get instant notifications on your computer when you receive new messages. You decide how often and how many notifications you wish to receive. Plus, with Preferred Sender, you can forget sifting through emails to find the most important messages. Now you decide the email addresses that get priority treatment. Messages from your preferred senders always display at the top of your message list.
