Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the customizr-pro domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

‘Kevin was able to teach us in a way that helped us not only learn Excel and Word but also improve my computer skills’.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Photos (iPhoto) in a Day’ will use those programs but much of what will be covered is applicable to many photo programs, e.g. Picasa.  And, of course, we’ll look at options for backing up and exporting your photos.<\/p>\n
