FAQ #1: How is my information protected?

We appreciate that the information you enter into Blis you’d like to keep private. Here’s what we include for your security:

• A 2 password login process--Yes, we know, that means 2 passwords to remember, but a small price for increased security. Both passwords are handled on separate platforms and therefore have different processes for password retrieval if necessary.

• A CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart)—This is a challenge-response test used to determine whether the user is human. The purpose of CAPTCHA is to block submissions from spambots – automated scripts that harvest email addresses from publicly available web forms.

• Secured by QuickSSL™ 128-bit SSL certificate thereby offering the highest level of encryption or security possible. This means you can rest assured that communications between your browser and this site's web servers are private and secure.

• Salted(it’s a technical term not involving seasoning), one-way encrypted Blis password

• No prompting for sensitive information—Throughout Blis, we never prompt for (nor require) any sensitive information such as SS numbers, passwords or account numbers.

FAQ #2: Does Blis work on both PCs and Mac computers?

Yes, Blis has been formatted to work on both PCs and Mac computers---specifically Internet Explorer for PC users and Safari and Firefox for Mac users.

FAQ #3: Can I print my information?

Although Blis is designed as an online resource, we know you won’t be able to resist printing the pages. For this, we give you several options:

1. Print Pretty - Using Blis pre-printed pages, place the appropriately titled pages into your printer and push the print button on each page.

2. Print Plain - "just the facts please" With this option, all you need to do is push the print button and you can print the content onto your own paper. The option is best suited to print onto white paper, but you may use any paper you want.

3. Turn it on - By turning on the background on your browser, you may print each page with all the content plus background colors and flower pattern.

FAQ #4: Does Blis interact with MS Outlook and iCal?

Yes and Yes. You are able to import & export contacts from both Outlook and iCal with the click of a button. You can also export events to Outlook and iCal. It is very easy, just click the ‘export to Outlook/iCal’ button while on the calendar tab, and you can selectively choose which events to export. Events can be color coded or include a flag to denote to a particular user which events he or she should export to another calendar. Note the importation from Outlook will function best when you have the most recent Outlook version 2007. It will still function if you have an older version of Outlook, but the fields may be a little shuffled or incomplete. You may either adjust the fields during the import process or after the contacts have settled in your address book.

FAQ #5: Can I view my calendar in day and week views?

You are able to view your Blis calendar as a month view, week view and day view.

FAQ #6: Can I save my pages to my own computer desktop?

Yes. It depends on your computer, but if you are able to convert documents into pdfs or jpg, you can save each screen shot as a pdf or jpg and save it to your computer. Of course this saved page is a static page and is not editable or adjustable.

FAQ #7: Why is this program better than others on the market?

We may be partial, but we feel Blis is the most content comprehensive and convenient program on the market.

• Compatible with both PCs and Mac computers!

• Time Management---As reported by the Ottawa Citizen, "Americans waste more than nine million hours each day looking for lost and misplaced articles." And According to a study conducted by a Boston Marketing Firm, the average American burns 55 minutes a day- roughly 12 weeks a year - looking for things they know they own but can't find. With Blis, all your family and household documents are in one place, just a click away. Less time searching for things, more time enjoying life.

• No Software to download—There is no software to download. Blis is server-based technology that lets you login from any computer or handheld devise with an internet connection.

• Environmentally Responsible---“More and more rainforest is destroyed to meet the demands of the developed world's paper industry, which requires a staggering 200 million tons of wood each year simply to make paper. If the present rate continues, it is estimated that the paper industry alone will consume 4 billion tons of wood annually by the year 2020”. (www.rain-tree.com/facts.htm) With these frightening statistics, American’s are looking online rather than to their filing cabinets as a means to organize their traditional documents. Not only is online organization convenient, it’s a simple way to go green.

• Preparedness—It’s always a good time to evaluate your family preparedness for an emergency or natural disaster. Much of being prepared is organizing your family’s home and health records. Blis allows you to have access to them even if you are forced to leave your home or if your home and records are destroyed. In the wake of the recent natural disasters, American’s are looking for ways to safeguard their important records. More and more American’s are turning to the web.

Not only is that helpful when you need to get your plumber’s phone number while you’re at work, but also in the unfortunate event of a natural disaster or emergency.
