Well, the new year is starting off at a crawl. I hoped to have a lot of work done on my WIP by now. Not so much. Of course, today is the first day of the first full week of the year, so it's a good time to get started. I'm not beat yet!
. I'm sure that sounds simple, but it's not. My insanely talented friend designed a bookmark for me, so I thought I had it licked. But every time I tried to upload it to the printer website, I got a message that the resolution was too low. Not wanting to bug my buddy yet again, I decided to create my own bookmark image.Long ago in the techy-stone-age, I learned how to do desktop publishing on Microsoft Publisher, a program which is regarded as something of a joke by professional graphics folk. But I like it. It's easy for me. And I haven't mastered the learning curve of Adobe Photoshop yet. Problem is, most printers refuse to work with Publisher files.
Now I was in a pickle. But I figured out a work around.
I designed my bookmark in Publisher. I then converted it to a PDF. Then I opened that up in Adobe where I was able to save it as the proper file type.
TA DAH!
So, while I didn't get any new writing done, I did expand my mind and complete a task that was at the top of my To Do list. And I did it all without cursing. Ten points for me!
And how was your day?
