I'm not ignoring that I didn't post on Monday. I deleted it because the aspect ratio of the YouTube wasn't fitting on the blog page. I went back to the blog party, almost a year ago now, and have looked at the coding for the YouTube items posted then.
The changes have been made to the post for Thursday. I didn't save Monday's post.
Glyn, his graphic artist friend (I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say his name), and I have been discussing the next edition of his book cover art. It is a much more detailed task than most people realize. I really appreciate the efforts being made and can't wait to show everyone the new version.
In the mean time, I'm posting the PowerPoint project that I converted to Window's Movie Maker so I could upload it to YouTube.
The biggest disappointment to me in the project is that the slide transitions in the PowerPoint were awesome and nothing really compared as choices in the MM software. After several weeks of working on it, I simply removed all the transitions except the first one, which was not in the PowerPoint.
The project is a collection of unsolicited comments about my books from some of you. All were used with permission, of course, and most of them are on my website. There are some of my beach photos too, for you to enjoy.
The headliner for me is Carolyn Sheppard's song "Broken Rock" recorded by the UK band, Shave the Monkey.

ReplyDeleteCan I share it on my blog Nadine?
I find if I change the width figures in the html on my blog to 360, the youtube's fit better. :)
Glad you like the music Glynis x
ReplyDeleteIt is very effective. A powerful selling tool out there to be used.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Glyn. There are two slides I'd like to fix the timing on and reload. Might do this weekend since we are on furlough on Friday. Surely, I can find time in a three-day weekend to do tweak it???
