Author Mania is Getting a Makeover

by BlondieWrites on August 8, 2009

Author Mania is getting a much needed makeover. Over the next few hours, we will be doing a major overhaul on the site, giving it a new look. While changes are being made, readers will still be able to access the material on the site, but the overall look will be distorted for a few hours. Once the changes are complete, you should find the site easier to navigate and with a more pleasant look.

Making PDF Ebooks Just Got Easier

by BlondieWrites on December 23, 2008

Do you ever wish you had an easy way to make your own information products and ebooks in PDF format…without shelling out an arm and a leg to do it? Then read on…

If you have ever tried to make PDF ebooks without using the official Adobe Acrobat software then you have probably encountered some of the typical difficulties.

For starters, most software applications that authors use to write their manuscripts do not allow you to quickly and easily convert your document into PDF format.

And if you have tried any of the cheaper so-called PDF making “solutions” you probably discovered some of the following problems with your PDF documents:

- No Bookmarks
- No Web Hyperlinks
- The Table of Contents is not hyperlinked to any pages
- No Security to prevent people copying your content!

In summary, your new PDF file looks amateurish…even if your content was terrific!

Well, someone had finally decided to do something about it, with Easy PDF Templates. Now, making your own PDF ebooks is less expensive, quicker and much easier than ever before!

I recommend you get over to this link and take a look for yourself

by BlondieWrites on May 19, 2008
