My book launched sucessfully on Oct 7. On Oct 17, I had an official book launch that went better than expected. Now that I've got that load off my shoulders, I'm looking forward to spending more time hear and making a contribution to the network.

I've seen pages where people have customized their header. I can't figure out how to do that for the life of me. Do you know how? Also, could you expand on #3 -- the widget that you use, etc. Thanks
I just finished editing the audio version my book. The process was painful, time comsuming, and tedious. I ended up using Sounbooth CS4 by Adobe to get the job done. I used Lynda.com to learn the software, at least the two features I was interested…

I've been eyeing the Amazon Kindle for about three years now.
I refused to buy as long as the price remained over $300.
They finally dropped the price earlier this month to $299 for the
Kindle 2. So, I swooped down and charged it.
So far, I'm pre…
Remember how we used to do it back in the On Point Days? Funny, dramatic, entertaining. Yeah, we still do it the same way today.

Stoneheart On Audio
I just finished editing the audio version my book. The process was painful, time comsuming, and tedious. I ended up using Sounbooth CS4 by Adobe to get the job done. I used Lynda.com to learn the software, at least the two features I was interested in: recording and editing. Adobe offers a 30 day free trial which allowed me to lay down the entire 360 pages and then edit it.

So far, I'm pretty satisfied. It's lightweight, plus you can increase
the font size, which I really like. It holds over 1,000 full length books.
First title ordered: Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.
Price: $3.95. They've got to make a movie about… Continue
