Are you looking for some creative book formatting guidelines

I'm formatting a book, my first one and am about to start to refine the overall formatting to make it beautiful. I'm running into a bit of a creative block and I'm looking for some basic guidelines for the formatting of the book. I wonder about fonts, how to use, ideas on the position of the hierarchy, fonts for tables compared to the rest of my text, etc.  I formatted everything, but apparently just awkward and ugly because I do not have a sensitivity to the standards.

Does anyone know of a resource where I could find some tips on this?

Independent publishers, start here: planning of your book

This site is mostly about self-publishing, but he does not reject until you have searched through his archives and followed its links to other resources. There are a lot of good things!

  • Are you looking for my action of the default (.php) for .asp form (or other extensions)

    Hi all

    MY site is currently using asp pages, and we redraw with muse.  Unfortunately, I get an error when you replace the generated .php, with my own pages .asp page.

    I'm talking with the cat, and really couldn't help me because it is not a "supported workflow" as in "'we encourage our users to modify the html code generated," and sent me here "

    I would like to know if someone has tried to change their extensions and managed?

    I see Personalization Web Forms .aspx pages are used here, but the cat, it's because of "Business Catalyst not supporting php," while the third party sites use php, aspx hosting their own uses.

    I would be grateful person entered it, due to complications related to the use of PHP on my server that I really want to make my own pages of work if possible.  In the opposite case. ASP, does anyone have experience change default value in general?

    If additional information is needed I'll go there, I'm the man in the middle in it so I appreciate your time and patience.

    Thank you very much!

    Hi Konrad,.

    Yes, you can use URLs to custom action and replace the one that is generated through Muse. When you generate the HTML through Muse, it exports all files php, including the forms submitted to the. So, you can take a look on how the data have been handled and know how to do the same with your asp script customized.

    The name attribute is used to pass variables to the script running on the server. ID is used for the client side JS and CSS.

    Simply change the action url won't. You will first need to know how the Muse scripts process data and then try to do the same thing with your custom script.

    Note: If you change the generated html Muse, then when you post to Muse, next time, it will overwrite your changes. So, you will need to make these changes after each export.

    Acer 8 10 Windows switch. I found it on my own actually. I'm sure there is more than one, but I really wanted a stand one. Thanks a lot for giving of your time to help others like me. I have been using an iPad for a long time. Since the iPad 2 is released. Before that I always used Win 98 to XP. I have trouble understanding 8 win for sure. I am more confused on the mixture of Acer and Win. There is a section for the Acer applications, then the op win - there is a new issue, so I might be in the wrong place or against a rule, but if possible can you tell me what are the two systems for? They are interactive? I am far from thinking there are two distinct divisions of track? Once again, you who help us who are confused, ignorant etc. are greatly appreciated! My Question itself can be confusing. My brain does not make the most popular way. I often misunderstood and am often misunderstood and it has been like that my whole life. I can get big brands in terms of schooling etc, it's just a weird thing that when everybody zigs I zag. Very creative and not logical to 99.9% of the population. We often come to the same conclusion, I just take a different route. .i tell you that incase I can't feel or interpret something oddly.

  • I'm looking for a good book on the fuse box.

    Hello
    I'm looking for a good book on the fuse box.
    Anyone know what is the latest version and what is a good book for beginners?

    Thank you

    As far as I KNOW, it's the 'latest and greatest' fusebox book, (which covers 4.1).

    http://www.techspedition.com/store/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=10

    FB 5 was recently released... recently enough that there is no book for her. I'm not sure that the 4.1 (above) book sales will be justified it being ever a book on 5.

    There are many examples of applications on the site of the fuse box, and John Beynon has a great series of tutorials on FB 4 on his blog at http://john.beynon.org.uk/index.cfm?mode=cat&catid=8C3B9E31-802D-00D5-73ADB5D764E60C74

    I know that the $85 price tag may seem a bit steep for the book of FB 4.1... but this is a good book and is one of the few (if- not - only) complete book on a relatively recent version of FB.

    Which, in addition to the sample applications on the fusebox site should be a lot of documentation.

  • Looking for some useful tips for a website idea, I have

    Hello

    Since last year, my company has a contract for a manufacturer of equipment tech maintain a benchmarking project of price, features user, specifications, etc. of their products against their competitors. It is quite a thorough comparison and contains more than 100 products. It is up to date with new versions of the product and will continue to keep informed on new products. In any case, the contract is almost up, and I think that the project could be more lucrative if I created a Web site with all the information I gathered last year. My problem is that I have never created a site for profit. I created a personal website and my business site by using a combination of CS5 DW, FW and Flash. I know some html, php, mySQL and flash and am quite comfortable with the CS5 software in general.

    As I mentioned, I am new to try to make money on a Web site, but here are two possible ways, I have however to do so:

    1. just throw all the information on the websites, and provide access to all users for free and hope to gain advertising revenue of the manufacturers who offer their products on my site.

    or

    2 offer a sample of the basic information on all products, but require a subscription for full access (maybe $199 / year).

    My target market will be composed of the manufacturers themselves, professional computing and dealers of these products.

    IM also wondering if I should do based on Flash and very attractive or simply in html.

    I guess I'm looking for advice on which path to choose and advice to do this effort with success.

    Thanks in advance!

    -Dave

    I'll make sure to read the contract and every partner of the fine print really, really carefully before doing so. But back to your question - it is more a question of marketing, and I would say hiring a good marketer (or become one) to make the most of this opportunity.

    And how to find a good marketing agent?

    I would suggest using Seth Godin (http://sethgodin.typepad.com/) as your guide/model. If the person you want to hire knows and follows the good advice of marketing of Seth, you would probably do very well. If they do not know who Seth Godin is and are obsessed with the rankings SEO and explosions by email, I'd be very worried (this is not to say email and SEO rankings explosions are 'bad', but should not be the only options in your marketing approach).

    Good luck!

  • I'm looking for my creative cloud license number

    Where can I find my license of creative cloud? I found a former serial number for my older lightroom, but specifically want the cloud creative license that does not appear under my "plans."

    Creative cloud does not use a serial number and creative cloud subscribers for not having any serial number associated with their programs.  Creative cloud subscribers use their adobe ID to activate their programs.

    Download and install the desktop creative cloud application (after signing with your adobe - the same as that used to pay for your creative cloud subscription ID), https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud

    Open the office application (a shortcut will be on your desktop) > click applications, and then select the programs you want to install.

    the desktop application gives you access to the cs6, cc, cc 2014 and cc 2015 apps.  and probably more in the future.

    If you already have the cc desktop application and you need to update your adobe id, log out and then back to your client application using the adobe id to pay for your subscription in cc: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
