I use paint.net. It's a free software and I LOVE it! Besides allowing me to adjust the dpi, it has more options I can use for my digital artwork than standard paint software. I have some of my artwork over at Cafepress. They recommend 200 dpi but I have my images set at around 300. I hope that's not too much.

No. 300 DPI is what I use too. I was thinking that CafePress recommended it, but perhaps I read it somewhere else. I think the higher the better, but there is a limit as to what you can upload. Of course, newer/faster computers and internet helps when uploading higher DPI.

Very nice Rick. The link is also posted here. You can bump the thread if you want to draw attention to it.
And anyone else who wants to give a heads up to what they're selling can post threads on the Ad board.

Hey, Joxie. I've been meaning to mention this in here because I thought it might be useful to you. Last weekend I went to a talk given by a local author who's had a couple of books published, and another on the way. I always try to attend such presentations because I figure I might learn something to help me on that quest to get a book published one day, (uhm....if I ever write that book). And the talks are free - free is good. Anyway, I had a chance to ask him if the books were independently published. He said the publishing company is kind of an in-between - submissions are handled as they would be by conventional publishing houses, but it's a print-on-demand publisher. It's a Christian publishing company that is looking for a broader customer base - stories don't have to have a Christian theme (his books don't), but they don't except gratuitous sex or violence. It sounds like nearly everything else would be considered. Their website states the same, along with they are looking for new authors. They accept most genres, including children's and young adult. The guy could not speak highly enough about them; he said they were a pleasure to work with in every step along the way. I thought it might be of interest to you. Here's the link to their writer's guidelines. www.oaktara.com/Writer_s_Guidelines.html

Thanks, Phalon. I'll look into it.

Not a problem. I reposted the info on other threads where it also fits.
BTW: I still plan on self-publishing ... I just got sidetracked with copying Whoosh to the sister board, and moving my 'Illusive Muse' to Runboard. I'm aiming for summer. But surely by next winter I'll have something out. I will definitely be shouting it to the rafters and posting links when I do finally get something on the market. Before then though, I'm also working on setting up an Author Runboard, and possibly a blog. Or I may just use the board for my blogging and whatnot. I haven't quite got it worked out yet. I want to have it all set up beforehand so that I can put the links in the "Author Notes" section of the 'books.'
Old Board: remly.proboards.com/index.cgi -- May keep as a place where members can post as guests when having problems logging in and whatnot.
New Board: btheillusivemuse.runboard.com/
Author Board: bchelsierraremly.runboard.com/ -- Haven't fixed up yet. Will have to wait until I'm done moving 'The Illusive Muse.'
