I've just posted a Doctor Hormone Archive. It's the first time I've posted anything I hope I did it right

Hi Neil - nope.

[neil meikle]

I've had another go did that work?

[MarkWarner]

I am on the case ... but give it a day max!

[paw broon]

Apologies, I clicked the approve button not noticing the file was.rar. 

[MarkWarner]

It is now up in Compilations. I am not 100% sure what the problem was, BUT I would suggest

a) Using zip rather than rar
b) then rename extension to cbz
c) your file numbering was great
d) don't zip the folder ... just do the files

Also it would be good to create a cover for the compilation.

Anyway your 1st upload is live

I think we need a unique covers / bit more work / description. Rather than just a collection of pages for our collections. Giving added value

Exactly!  Newly-drawn, unique front covers, and information pagers explaining the major points of the series' history in the context of those times.  It's more work, but becomes a new book (dare I say, new "publication", that is copyrightable). 

[paw broon]

Yes.  I've created a front cover and a 2nd page with some Info for the Sentinels as a suggestion of what could be done.  And mine are nowhere near as good as some of the superb ones we have on site. I don't draw but can take elements from the set of stories in a  compilation and put something together that way.  If only I had some actual talent
I'll get them to Neil for his perusal later today.  Up to you Neil whether you use my pages or not, but you might prefer to have a go yourself at putting a couple ofpages together for your own satisfaction. It takes time but can be great fun.

[neil meikle]

    Thank you for the templates Stephen, I've added them and The Sentinels has been reposted. I hear what you are all saying and I would love to do these things but I haven't got a clue how to. Could you give me some tips please?

[paw broon]

Bear in mind that we have some talented artists on site.  I'm not one of them.  What I did for this one was snip headings and details from pages.  Plus the front page heading from a Thunderbolt issue.  I use power point to put the pieces on a page - pick your colour - and using text boxes, insert any text that I think works. Power point lets you move inserts around, change type face, increase or decrease size of inserts, choose frames for an illo, and so on.  When I'm reasonably happy with the page I save it as a jpg.
The type style is Tahoma. 
I'm sure others will think I'm being very basic here, but it works for me.
Anyone care to chip in?  Please.

    Here's an upgrade, it's about time somebody put that page the right way up.

[neil meikle]

Ignore the last post, the attempt to correct Blue Beetle failed.
