IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

MW coming up.

edit: You already know how to do the intros and outros for poems, so I didn't change the above instructions to conform to the poetry format.

Dave, I have changed the page set-up for poetry. But I don't know where the beige-yellow coloration came from. And I should have said 45 as the number of sections, not 25. Is it easier for you to add the extra twenty than for me to have to do them one at a time? If not, of course I will add as I go. Once again, thanks. Yours, Jim

No mention of book title in first intro.

For the first section (and only the first section), say "For Your Sweet Sake by James Ephraim McGirt. Read for librivox.org. Born Like the Pines."
For the second and subsequent sections, do as you state above for second and subsequent sections.

Sadly, I can only add sections one at a time also.

[neecheelok70]

Is this right now? In future, maybe you want me to do all the section entries as I go along.

1 PL OK!

Add sections as you need them. When setting up a book it's better to be over than under because it's so easy to delete unwanted sections

[neecheelok70]

Here is 2. I didn't say the author's name because we have said at the top that the poems are all by the same author. Is this right?

Yes.

2 PL OK!

[neecheelok70]

What I meant is that in future I could enter each section (section 1 assigned to neecheelok to the end of the sections) as I went along. Or can it be done that way? You would send me the MW without having listed the sections ahead of time. Just a thought. Jim

3 PL OK!

It's better to start with the expected number of sections and then add/delete as needed.

4-7 PL OK!
