Welcome to MBA’s shiny new Blog. I thought a blog would be a nice way to cover ideas and topics that can’t be covered well in Forums. I hope to add comments as well so others can add to the discussion.

If you are reading this then you have seen the new Website layout. It took a little longer that I wanted but I am pleased with the new layout and brighter colors. Hope to add RSS feeds as well.

Along with the new Blog is a whole new set of Forums. The SMF Forums are much nicer looking and I hope to avoid the problems of some Reps not being able to see all the options because of poor contrast with the colors (old Forum had Dark blue numbers on a Light blue background on bottom line).

In addition to MBA for Avon I am getting ready a new version of MBA for Watkins Reps. I have been working on this since last year but other things kept getting priority. If you know any Watkins Reps have them stop by. There should be a Beta version they can download and play with early in August. I have learned a lot in creating the Avon version and have designed the Watkins version a little differently (who says and old dog can’t lear new tricks). It’s been a two way street with the ideas. The idea for the Payment button on the Customer record in MBA for Avon came from the Watkins version. The next Avon version is also having a Payments list added to the Customer record as well and again this came from the Watkins version.

I don’t think there will be a blog post everyday but check back from time to time I hope to post at least once or twice a week.
