His father employs a teacher, John Hendricks, to take him on a world tour and try to inspire him. In the final stage of the tour in desperation he takes him to the Jura mountains, where he went as a young man, to visit a pastor he stayed with. During the stay they get involved with pagan worship that involves the transforming power of wind and fire, up in the mountains.

I'll set up the MW shortly. I'll also put myself in as the dpl.

[craigdav1]

Let me know if anything needs fixing. Btw, my initials just needed to be after the book title at the very top of the form (i.e. only once).

[Patrick79]

Thanks Dave will start in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks
Patrick

Hi Dave

Fancy a trip to the Alps, just click on the link ….

The Regeneration of Lord Ernie Part 1 https://librivox.org/uploads/craigdav1/incredibleadventures_01.1_blackwood_128kb_.mp3 Time 23m 03s

How do I edit the text on the MW page, it seems to be different. Also can't seem to add reader name in added sections.

Thanks
PAtrick

[craigdav1]

I just added you as the reader for the extra sections. Was there something else you wanted to change?

[Patrick79]

That was quick. I just wanted to amend the text I wrote sometime.

[craigdav1]

Just open the MW (click on BC Admin) and then click on the box you wish to edit. Some boxes have a save button. The title column doesn't (I think).

[Patrick79]

No its the box at the top that I wrote the synopsis of the book that I will change.

[Patrick79]

Don't worry Ive just seen the edit pencil. Sorry about that

[craigdav1]

At the very top of the page is an edit button [a pencil in a box icon] for your first post. If you change the book description, let me know as the copy used in cataloguing is behind the scenes and only I can change it.

Edit: I'm a slow typist!

[Patrick79]

Thanks will do

In the intro you give the book title as "5 Stories from Incredible Adventures" not "Incredible Adventures."

In the file name the section number should be used (01 in this case). When you upload this file with the correct book title change the ## in the file name to 01.

[Patrick79]

Hi Dave

Have uploaded new file.

I have changed the 01 but in the magic window it only shows 1. Am I doing it right. Perhaps you can do the first one and I can follow.

Thanks
Patrick
