Congratulations Gebo-books on Publishing Your New Dating Book!

Laura Hines-Jurgens recently published a new book offering advice and guidance to young women about dating and “shaping your marriage before it begins.” Your Computer Lady was privileged to be part of the editing and publishing process.

Do you need assistance publishing your book?

You may be a wonderful writer but how are you on Oxford commas or the proper use of quotation marks? Do you know how to create a Table of Contents? Do you know how to consistently format your content? Your Computer Lady can assist!

Laura chose to self-publish her book on Amazon. She is an experienced author and can promote the book via her network. Your Computer Lady handled all of the Amazon set up for the book. The process isn’t hard but it does require some significant computer skills to fit Amazon’s criteria.

Please call YCL to talk about your next book project!

Check out Laura’s book! It would be a great gift for the young women in your life.

Congratulations CSI Houston Chapter on Your New Website!

The Houston Chapter of CSI (Construction Specifications Institute) has been a YCL client for over 10 years!

We just updated their WordPress website to reflect the organization’s new logo and goals.

We started with a new design developed with a member committee. There was a mixture of new and old content to put on the site including several years of blog posts with chapter history.

We’re very proud of the results! Take a look!

Google Analytics 4

Your Computer Lady regularly sends clients 2-5 reports from Google Analytics to show the traffic on their website. It is crucial information so you know what is happening on the site and what information your visitors find worthwhile. Marketing without measurement is not good marketing!

HEADS UP!!

Google has completely re-written Analytics. Yes, it is a whole new program with a totally different structure.

Today

You can add the new version – Google Analytics 4 – to your site so that it starts gathering data.
You can continue using the old version AKA Universal Analytics to gather data and run reports.

July 1, 2023

Google will stop collecting data with the old version of Analytics.
You will still be able to see your old data in the old version.
Google will only collect new data with Google Analytics 4.

December 31, 2023

Google will delete all data and the old version.

GOOD NEWS!!

We have 1.5 years to get ready for the changeover.

What Needs to Be Done

Set up Google Analytics 4 as soon as possible to begin collecting data.
Configure Analytics 4 to gather the data you like.
Create the reports that you want to use in Analytics 4. Instead of having a limited number of reports to choose from in Universal Analytics, you will be able to create reports in Analytics 4. Better info for sure but more set up work.

Because Analytics 4 is totally different software there is going to be a learning curve.

YCL is already working on the process and learning Analytics 4 so that everyone will be properly set up well before July 2023. We will not wait until the last minute.

I’m bringing this to your attention now so that you will understand the notices you get from Google or news articles that you see. Don’t panic! Your Computer Lady has got your back! I’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available and as I experiment with the YCL website.
