Tricia,

I also can't seem to attach a photo to this reply.
I would like to use that photo on the first page of the magazine as the cover-photo for this. Where it shows him jumping over the tree, with the title above:

Got the summary.

Are you making the cover yourself? That picture will work admirably.

Pictures have to be hosted somewhere else. They can't be uploaded and attached to a post. Once it's somewhere online, you link to it:

Code: Select all

We generally don't do a lot of pictures in the forums, though.

I'll start cataloging!

If that can be finagled into a 600x600 px image, that'll work very well.

how can I tell what the 600 x 600 measurements it currently is at?

it's on the main page here: https://www.erbzine.com/mag8/0875.html but i can't say what those dimensions are. or what they are on the first link I shared.

otherwise:

this one is a smaller version --> https://www.erbzine.com/mag8/amm01h6.jpg

or I'm not sure if the Gutenberg Australia version just links to that "section" of the page, or to the actual image, itself --> https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks01/0100201h.html#pic4

You can tell by importing it into an image editing program.

Are you making the cover yourself? Have you done it before?

I just run into the problem where I have nowhere to host it, posted online.

Or.... do I?

If I were to create an eBay listing, and have this as the photo: can you lift it from there?

I don't know what you're talking about. Are you simply suggesting the artwork for the cover, or are you going to make it all yourself - the different size jpgs, the PDF - and upload it as per the cover art instructions?

Here's the thread for the covers. The top post has the instructions. viewtopic.php?t=28785

I'll summarize, to see if I'm on the same page:

For the cover art on this, I suggested that the art on Page 1 of the scan of this book would make a good photo. But I couldn't take a screenshot and add it here. (no photos in the forum)
Ok: so then I found a link to the same image on another website. And it sounds like that won't work, since it's not 600 x 600

fast forward: I think I found what you said about uploading. I just did that now.

I responded in the forum to the link you sent me.
In that forum, I uploaded these two pictures:

https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/themastermindofmars_2301_itemimage.jpg

Did this do the trick?

Well, those are two of the images needed, but the PDF needs to be made, too. And all zipped together (three images, one PDF) and uploaded to the Covers folder.

The first post there has the instructions for making the PDF, along with templates you can choose from. The document includes info on the source of the image and who made the cover, the run time of the project, etc.

ok, I have posted the .zip

https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/themastermindofmars_2301.zip

I'm not sure all else you mentioned. But this is the three files you asked for.

Post by **TriciaG** » January 6th, 2023, 6:10 pm

That should be okay.

Archive is taking forever to derive the last couple files...

JoeDeNoia · Post by **JoeDeNoia** » January 6th, 2023, 6:14 pm

Well that's good.

I'll just keep watching the end of Season 2 of Yellowstone while I wait to see what happens.
