Dear BellaOnline Editors -

Thank you all so much for the kind words and wishes. I know 2020 has been rough on many of us. It appears 2021 will be a fresh breath of air. Together we can start afresh and renew our dreams.

It appears that one or two of our editor mail accounts have been guessed at by spammers. I imagine if spammers guess for long enough that they can guess most passwords. I'll be going through the mail accounts to figure out which ones the spammers are using. I'll send each of you a test message to make sure you're still getting your official BellaOnline email. Please send a quick response back when I send that test. That way I can check off that it's still an OK account. That will help me figure out which ones the spammers guessed.

In general it's a good idea not to use a simple password like "password" :). Those simple passwords are guessed pretty easily by spammers. Try to go with something a little more complicated. I know passwords on the web are a royal pain. Still, they serve a purpose, to help keep those spammers out. We know that Nigerian Princes are quite interested in sharing their wealth with us, but it's probably better not to give them access to our email accounts.

Ask with any questions! I hope you have a delightfully relaxing and stress-free weekend :).

Sincerely,

Lisa Shea, owner
