Computer & Software and Electronic Magazine character, email, font, graphic, stationary, substitution, symbol, view, web page 11:56 am
New to building web pages and email stationary? Be careful with using symbols. If the person on the other end doesn’t have the font your symbol is in, it will substitute characters and may make your page look strange. While symbols are faster to load than graphics, perhaps a diamond, scroll, etc. would be a good design idea.
Marketing coverage, email, extra, in-depth, periodical, quote, renewal, save the date, Updates, value added 7:54 pm
Options that will not add to the cost of a periodical may include:
If using email for renewals, don’t use it only for renewals, consider sending extra/color photos (if Copyright release is available), timely tidbits, in-depth coverage, save the dates, quote of the week/month, etc. – things to encourage opening over discarding.

Book Production and Electronic Magazine Adobe, Adobe Acrobat, disk, e book, ebook, electronic, email, format, PDF, reader, reprodution 3:44 pm
Electronic:
The world is embracing the standard of PDF format for e-books. The costs for reproduction would be disk manuscript preparation (converting your hardcopy or disk files to PDF) plus disk reproduction. In many cases the disk manuscript preparation for a book sent to us on disk can be waived – email us for details. The PDF reader (Adobe Acrobat) is free to anyone and comes in many new computers standard. This allows anyone with a computer a chance to read your book on disk (after purchasing it from you!). The PDF format also allows you more control of the E-book that is purchased – you can make the book read only (the customer can not make changes) as well as restricting printing.

Electronic Magazine and Genealogy address book, announcement, cemetery, companion, court house, email, meeting, organization, repository, research, substitute, tour, travel, trip 10:31 pm
Sometimes there is no substitute for the effort you could put in researching off the computer and outside of your home. Sometimes this takes the form of traipsing to cemeteries and court houses. Other times it means taking a trip (sometimes consisting of several days) to a targeted or major research repository.
When a repository trip is called for, consider traveling with other researchers. Most groups take travel time as “sounding board” time. It’s also nice to know someone else already when you enter a repository – even if it everyone’s first trip. General research trips are offered through lots of places, from a school, library, organization, researcher travel agent, to us: http://www.gregathcompany.com/tours!
When a cemetery/court house trip is needed, go ahead and ask for research travel companions (make an announcement at all your research related organizational meetings, poll you email address book, etc.), you never know who may want to go – for their own research, or just to “get away” for a bit.
