CAUTION when changing the template on your blog!!!!!!!!

What a mess I have had. I decided I needed a three column blog so I found a site, picked a template and completly lost my blog ): Luckily, I had backed up my info and didn't lose any posts. I felt lost for about 2 weeks and then, yesterday, I finally figured out where it was hiding. SO the bottom line is, I am back and ready to update my blog with more WHERE TO FIND FREE SVG FILES and some of my NEW CARDS.

HOW TO UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE

Cricut Firmware To be able to use "Sure Cuts A Lot" with your Cricut Machine, your Cricut machine must have the following firmware version: • Cricut Personal - v1.1 or 1.3 • Cricut Expression - v2.1 or 2.3 • Cricut Create - v1.51 WHEN I UPDATED MINE, I got 1.52 and it works just fine!!! • To find the firmware version currently on your Cricut Machine, turn your Cricut machine on and it should immediately indicate in the display on your Cricut machine, which version you currently have. If you do not have the required firmware version, you will need to update the firmware on your Cricut Machine. Currently the only way to do this is through ProvoCraft's Cricut Design Studio software. There is a Trial version available for Windows (XP SP2/Vista ) (If you have a Macintosh and need to update your firmware, you must do it from a Windows machine), which you can install for free and update the firmware on your Cricut machine. The following are steps to update your firmware using the Cricut Design Studio software: 1. Connect your Cricut machine to your computer. Make sure it is connected directly and not through a USB hub. 2. Start the Cricut Design Studio software 3. Make sure your Cricut machine is turned OFF. 4. Put your Cricut machine into Firmware update mode, by press and hold down the Stop button, and then press the Power button. You must keep the Stop button pressed down until the Cricut machine beeps at you (usualy in about 5 seconds). At this point, your Cricut machine is now ready to receive the update. 5. Choose "Update Firmware". The update can take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. If the process finished significantly faster than 5 minutes, the update most likely failed, and you will need to start the process again from the beginning.
