Hey lisa i was just reading your blog. Gosh you're a good writer. Your SEO article was fab. Did you design that book graphic yourself? How did you create it? Very cool how it ties into the article.

Thanks AD, appreciate the comment. I created the book in PhotoShop. I bought some eBook Actions from a PhotoShop guru a couple of years ago. If you are unfamiliar with PhotoShop, an Action is like a Macro in Excel (pre-recorded steps, basically).

So I load the Actions into photoshop and each one creates a template for a different kind of Ebook (there are 5 in all) and you can customize the book how you want it. Pretty fun to play around with.

Good points both. Thanks "AttackDepression" for making the comment. Information about book covers is especially confusing on line. There seem to be a lot of offers, most of which seem to be inferior in quality according to user comments.

"AttackDepression" is a great domain name, by the way. And you have developed an outstanding site, too.

Good success!

James

Thanks for sharing the info lisa,

Im personally thinking of creating my first E-book and I was hunting around for a graphic for my work, I am little confused how you managed to write it all in Adobe Acrobat would you mind briefly explaining it all.

As I don't have WebsitePalace.com E-book builder?

I actually wrote it all in Microsoft Word and I own Adobe Acrobat (the full version, not the Reader) and I converted it into a PDF from Word. It takes all of 2 seconds. When you install Acrobat, you get a toolbar button in Word that says "Create PDF".
