holidays, we fixed an eCards glitch that you may have experienced in the past. A few classes reported that some students were unable to save their work while creating their eCards. Like the noise your car makes before you take it into the shop but never in front of the mechanic, this frustrating glitch was unreproduceable in our shop and therefore difficult to fix. We are pleased to report, however, that the problem is now resolved. We thank you for your patience!
