Editing Complete!

June 30, 2008 · Filed Under News, Site Management, The Books ·

Well, mostly complete. I find myself constantly moving things around, but all the subject lines, joke and images are in. I wrapped up the logo yesterday (which I’m really pleased with and you can see it here on the site now), and the book cover is just about finished. I’m still playing with the color scheme and some of the elements in the layout.

Work continues on the website, and I’m hoping to have the final files to upload to BookSurge very soon.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that although I’ve got all the content for this book ready to roll, I still want your spams! This is to be the first in a series, after all! Spam me at bbos@thebigbookofspam.com!

Finally, on the site management side of things, I’ve integrated Disqus to handle the commenting here. Ironically, I’ve done that to help cut down on spam - hey, the spam is for the books, not for you guys to wade through in the site comments. Disqus is a fantastic blog comment solution, supported by a ton of sites the world over.

First Print!

The first draft of The Big Book of Spam just rolled off my printer a few minutes ago. I’m entering the editing phase now! Publication is - hopefully - just a couple of weeks away now!

More Updates!

I’ve signed on with BookSurge for the publication of The Big Book of Spam! This is very exciting, as BookSurge is owned by Amazon, which will give The Big Book of Spam great exposure. I’ve got a few more jokes to write, and more graphics to add, but I’ve hit my page count goal of 175 with all the spam subject lines (over 300 of them!) plugged in.

Getting closer!

p.s. I’m going to resume the weekly Subject Line of the Week feature after the publication of the book, so it’ll be a little while longer.
