I took a brief look at FastPencil and didn't notice as specific mention of blogs. It definitely handles epublishing. And more importantly, it's using a graphic from one of my favorite online graphic artists.
Mobipocket is the primary Kindle format. ePub format will cover just about anything else. You might want to take a look at Sigil
Saying "I don't understand what you're saying" isn't offensive, it's asking for clarification. And quite frankly, I also had no idea what you were saying, so I picked a couple of points to respond to. It's clear you have grand ideas, but they're not very specific.
That must be marketing speak, because it doesn't mean anything to me. What does your portal do? What do you sell? What are your ebooks about? What is a "virtual world"? It just seems like you're all over the place.
Translation: You want help, but you're not sure with what, you want it to be professional, and you're not willing to pay very much.
Wow. Just wow. Sorry I tried to help. I'll keep my opinions to myself, even though you were asking for help. |
Queentess: Your input is just remarkable and invaluable. I certainly meant not to offend you in anyway. The comment that irked me was by someone else. If you were defending that person that makes you even more honorable.
Listen, there are 2 things involved in what I'm doing/trying to do: I'm going to stumble all over the place. And, as a writer, if there's one thing I know about it's word choice.
I knew my initial post was going to leave much room for confusion. Everything I'm doing is so new.
You, and maybe many others involved here on MobileRead seem to be somewhat cool about all these different kinds of applications but for me I am overwhelmed.
In keeping with that, please don't make me feel bad about having a low budget and trying to do "big" things for free. My God, I wouldn't have thought that way if it wasn't for the fact that everyday I'm discovering some new application for free, an application that does amazing things. Hell, it happened here in the forum 3 times: Calibre, the Google Projects site you sent me to, and the Vook application. I'm not sure if Vook is free but damn, the other two applications are.
And I'm just gettin' warmed up!
What I meant by opinions was that, of course, opinions are important. But sometimes, as in other forums, people will respond with, "What do you want to do that for," or "Who cares," or "Why do you want to make a movie online," or something similar. This just isn't helpful.
How you have responded is extremely helpful.
And let me tell you, I wish to God I DID have a bigger budget because you deserve to get paid. That's what makes a forum like this so amazing is the exchange of information without having to pay for it. You, and so many others clearly could make a living as consultants.
So, again, I apologize if I offended anyone. Certainly not my intentions.
Thank you again so much.
