Table-ing CSS, Teleconferences, & Amazon Numbers
Hello readers,
I realize I've been busy with some offline housekeeping as of late and because of my seemingly ongoing distraction, I'm somewhat behind on my updates here at my blog but on a good note, I've finally finagled my code enough to begin to get closer to what I've envisioned as being a more suitable layout for this part of my site.
Closer to being designed in tables (which is something I understand) instead of fully dependant on the CSS coding (something that I admit remains beyond my comprehension), I've overhauled the basic template for now to see if this layout will work somewhat better.
But I realize the content is much more important than the design so not to leave you without some writing-oriented tidbits, this is what's come across my desk as of late:
How to Write your e-Book & Print Book at the Same Time Teleclass

Rosenthal updates Amazon Ranking Graph
"The most interesting trend to me is that Amazon is passing 1 in 3 books sold going through Marketplace vendors, and on the way towards one in two books sold, though it's still a ways off. Some of those sales are new books from large vendors underbidding Amazon and scraping by on shipping mark-up, nobody knows the ratio of used to new books sold.

Thought you would also be interested in Dan Ponyter's Radio show ...Publishing Poynters Radio. Very insightful and lively exchanges between Dan and other self-publishers debating the big questions self-publishers face. Topic include:
Spotting Self-Published Books; Should You Consider Paying for Book Reviews; Is Google Threatening Self-publishers; Can You Make a Living at Self-publishing?
You can listen online at http://www.parapublishing.com/sites/para/resources/pubradio.cfm
Note: currently looking for guest on a show we're doing about product placement in books. I produce the program and would love to hear your thoughts.
