News. Training. Insight. 
Dear (Contact First Name),
BIG News!  I'm delighted to announce that, after almost a year of hard work, we have a new website AND a new URL - www.larryjordan.com! (And well, yes, a new newsletter design, too.)

When we first set out to redesign our website we knew it would be a big project, but none of us realized just how big this was going to be. Every section is redesigned: navigation, Tutorial Library, the Store, and Video Training Library membership site.  In the process we discovered the old site held more than 1,100 videos, plus 1,200 articles - all designed to help you become a better editor.

We cleaned house. We added new subscription levels, better searching, improved media playback, and modernized the code-base upon which the website is built.

Whew!

A HUGE tip-of-the-hat to Tori Hoefke, our webmaster who project-managed this entire process brilliantly, and the design and programming team at Beyond Web Interactive, who provided the design, coding and conversion from the old site to the new one. It was a massive effort.

This is a sneak preview. We will be running the new site in parallel with the old site for a few days to make sure all the bugs are out. But you can take a look at the new site right now. (And, as a note, for everyone with links to the old site, all those links will still work in the new site, so there's nothing you need to change on your site.) Let me know if you find any problems!

To celebrate our new site, we are offering 25% off everything in our new store - and we've added two new subscription levels. More on both of these below.

Here's the new link: www.larryjordan.com. Have fun exploring!

UPCOMING WEBINARS
TAKING A BREAK TILL APRIL 
 
Thanks to your help, we finally figured out live video streaming last week (See the article below.)

With the launch of our new website, we are taking a break from webinars for a week.

New sessions will start the first week in April. I hope to announce the new titles in next week's newsletter. 
 
 
LAST WEEK'S WEBINAR
ASK LARRY ANYTHING

Last week, we tested our new video streaming  with two "Ask Larry Anything" webinars.

The streaming worked GREAT, finally, and the webinars are now posted to our brand-new Video Training Library subscription site.

These two movies are subscriber exclusives and won't be posted to our store.

TUTORIAL

It has taken us about three months, with lots of mistakes, to finally get live video streaming working. This article describes what we did, what works and what doesn't.

We will be writing more about this as we get all our settings and gear dialed in. The good news is that streaming is now reliable, scalable and great quality.
