PB 202 ?!?!?!

It's true. PersonalBrain 101 has been such a success that we've started a PersonalBrain 202 seminar.

Yesterday's class focused on creating SiteBrains. You can watch the class at the following links:

And just for fun... check out the sample SiteBrain I created at http://mattcaton.bravehost.com/
In case you are interested, yes I am a recreational home improvement enthusiast! I'm currently remodeling a 1918 Tudor in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Many of the links in this sample Brain I created are taken right out of my REAL PersonalBrain. I furnish may of the rooms appliances and utilities with products from the websites in this very Brain. Fun stuff!

Well, it's the end of the day, time to walk the dogs and rewire some cheap old lights I found on eBay!

Be sure to join Harlan's PB202 class tomorrow to learn more about Thought and Link Types!

See you on Friday for PersonalBrain 101,

Brain Blogs

I'm not alone :-) Lots of other Brain Blogs out there. I thought I'd share a few links:

Have fun.

And don't forget to sign up for PersonalBrain 101 tomorrow. I think I'll be doing a new format. Last week, we saw a lot of advanced questions right at the beginning of the class, so I'm going back to basics. The first 1/2 of the class will be a real entry level PB demonstration and I'll simply open the phone lines up at the end of the class for all questions. We'll see how it goes.

Hope you see you there!!

2+ Hour PB101

What a great day on PersonalBrain101! Lots of high level questions came up which I think calls for a new level class... Introducing PersonalBrain 202!

In the coming weeks, Harlan and I will be hosting 2 PersonalBrain 202 classes. Mine will focus on publishing PersonalBrain files to the Internet. Harlan's class will center around creating effective Thought and Link Types.

Sign Up Today:

Next week's PB101 will go back to the basics for beginning users.

Have a great weekend and thanks again for everyone that joined today's PB101. Talk to you again soon.

And finally... my tip of the week. I just found this out myself on a call the other night with some Australian users. You can manually change the default font in your NOTES section!!! Just open the following file in a text editor:

C:/Program Files/PersonalBrain/Res/notes.ccs

You'll see the lines for Font Family, Font Size, Color, etc.

Have fun with it. But make a back up first in case you change some formatting!!!!
