Spring is here and the Mahogany trees are turning color, shedding leaves, and releasing the whirlybird seeds as the seed-pods dry and split open. Nice to have «Fall» in Spring..... adds a whole new dimension to «seasons»!

Travel plans now interfere with my original SoFoBoMo start-date of April/1/08 if I shoot the topics/themes that are local. Will either shift the start-date to April/13/08 or pick a new theme.

Decisions decisions decisions....

Narrowing in on the various Print On Demand services online,  Blurp is OUT, MyPublisher is IN. SharedInk seems to be top-notch but a bit beyond my current needs. Downloaded MyPublisher BookMaker 2.0 and tested it out. Easy. Not the 100's of page and layout options as the software from Blurp, but more than enough to satisfy my requirements for the SoFoBoMo project.

2.24.08 update:
Issues with MyPublisher.com
Making a book was a breeze. Trying out their services online ended quickly when one tries to create an account online. They cater only to a few countries [where they currently ship-to] and if one lives in a country other than those few countries one CANNOT create an account because you need to provide a full street address and phone number in those countries only! Strange....

So, my search for another P.O.D. starts once again!
Or, maybe I'll just output the photos to a PDF from PSCS3 for now.

OK. I did a small test PDF with a few low-rez JPG's output from PSCS3 to a PDF. These are images done with a LensBaby 2.0 during a rehearsal at my daughter's school. Will try a high-rez go of it later, with some text etc. The test file is about 3.5MB. You can view/download it.

Further update:
MyPublisher customer service responded promptly to my email and assures me I can create an account online as long as I have a billing address for a credit card in any of the countries they service, regardless that I live there or not..... will give it a shot.
