STN General Network News
Updates in the works. We have lots of plans for Specialty Toys Network for the upcoming year. Some new ideas and some that will increase the functionality of current features. We are always open to suggestions, so please don’t hesitate to contact us with your thoughts and ideas. The STN Ticket Support system is a great place to send us ideas for new features. (You will need to log into the support center before you can view this page.)

STN has created a new YouTube Channel. This is a more convenient way to watch short topic specific training videos. You can access the STN Training Channel from any computer and at any time. Perhaps even 1:00 am, like one member stated she was watching (we won’t name names).

Parking Costs Less. For those of you that have more than one domain and are paying us to have them parked we have lowered our prices to $15 a year. It is not very often that you get to hear something is cheaper, so we are happy to bring you that news.

Listen to the Twitter. Rhiannon has created a Twitter account. You can follow her at http://twitter.com/rhiannonSTN. She will be announcing updates to the database, new members to go live, web tips, and links to articles that are relative to your business.
