1 of the challenges that a lot of students face with using any course platform is logging in. So you you might have gotten an an email from me and you click on the link or you you click on the link inside 1 of my course sessions. And it says not found or it says, you know, login information or something like that. It's like it's it doesn't bring you to the place that you expected. The reason is because you haven't yet logged in on the device that you just clicked on.

So sometimes you had originally logged into my courses using the phone. Or using the computer and now you're on the other device and you're clicking on the link and it doesn't log in automatically. Well, it's because the first time you go to my course platform on any device you have to first log in. And once you log in, assuming that you haven't been blocking cookies, you may want to turn the cookie blocker. I know some of you are would be a post of that or find some way.

I heard even adding my domains as the exception for cookies somehow, sometimes doesn't work. Anyway, find it's a if it's not logging in, you're blocking cookies, and that's why you have to log in every single time. If you accept cookies, like I do, I actually accept all cookies. When I browse, this is a tiny tangent. I think cookies are way overblown as being dangerous or tracked whatever.

I as a as a person who's quite techie and I've been techie now for, you know, 20 years, I accept all cookies. Accept all cookies when in browsing because it just makes the web browsing so much more easy. I can log in to anything I want to. And no information gets stolen. And I think that's a myth about cookies.

But anyway, some of you who are even more techy than me can can argue with me below. But but so so I was gonna say in every email you receive from me, about the course, and every email you receive from me about the course, scroll to the very bottom of that email. This is a trip. Scroll to the bottom of every 1 of my course email, then you will find your login information. So Usually, I give some information at the top of my course email.

It's like, oh, here's the lesson of the week. Here's a link to it. But if you can't log in, you just have scroll down further in that email to find the login information. So I hope this is helpful. And please do maybe maybe take 1 couple minutes right now and just go to every device.

You might have a tablet, 2 computers, 5 phones, I don't know. How many of you. But go to every device where you might check out my courses, and just take a moment right now. Just go over your device and log in. In every browser, sometimes somebody use Chrome, Firefox, Brave, whatever you use, go to all the browsers and log in everywhere because my courses aren't some kind of bank security info.

I don't care if 1 of your family members or a friend using your computer and logs into my course as you. It doesn't matter to me. I mean, it matters to you. It doesn't matter to me. So log in everywhere.

And now going forward, it'll be much easier for you. So hope this helps.

If ever unsure about your username & password, go to any email I've sent that is regarding the course you enrolled in, and at the bottom of each email is your username & password.
Take a few minutes now and log into my course platform on every device where you might want to access my course materials.
