lily - through the dirty front window yesterday morning (it looks nearly the same today but without the water)
After finally getting all my LJ entries downloaded into the Blurb Booksmart program yesterday afternoon (had to go to the Library to use their highspeed internet - 3rd time is the charm) I have decided I don't like it for this project. I like how my LJ reads like a word document - photo, text, maybe another picture, more text below, etc - everything lined up linearly. Blurb will make your book look more like a really nice book with layouts - there are many, many beautiful layouts and a book made there would look great (and professional) but I don't see what I'm doing with LJ as needing that treatment. I want my text and photos to be presented all left aligned like they are here on LJ. And another problem - all my photos here on LJ are 72 ppi and Blurb won't print them at that density and size - it wants to resize everything to 300 ppi and my photos become much smaller then. I can stand the slight fuzziness of printing in low resolution with printing at 72 ppi - I prefer that to the smaller but sharper photos that Blurb does for me. Anyway - I'm going to keep the program in my laptop and if I ever do want to make a nice book with 300 ppi photos I will use it for that.
