Processing books for our New Thought Public Library

Today things have evolved quite a bit from the beginning of the library at the end of the 20th Century.

Through the wonderful insights of Dr. Avalon and the teamwork of amazing New Thought Leaders around the world, we have worked out increasingly better ways to process books and then to present those books in the library. Today we work together in a growing network of compassionate professionals around the globe combining our minds to insure more efficient processing of public domain New Thought books and the production of digital formats to insure that we meet the the panoply of public desires for these potent teaching throughout the globe.

Here are the basic steps in processing books into both formats: the "Primary Format" and the "Final Format".

We keep the "Primary Format" for the production of ebooks in a variety of outputs. Once books have been processed into the "MPF - Final Format", Netizens are able to target individual pages and thereby use them in classes, research, study groups and writing their own books.

With every advance in online library science, we absorb new developments and move forward to create a better library. Our library epitomizes an insightful open source approach which ensures that within ten years we will bring at least 1 billion people to New Thought making it a major world religion.

Below the Single Page Format and Final Format instruction, you will find guidelines to upgrading the older books of the library.

Primary Format- Scanning a book - Raw Formatting - creating the SPF - creating the MPF
- Upgrading - upgrading bios - upgrading books - checking books to see if they need upgrading
- creating chapter versions using the MPF format -

the "Primary Format" or "Single Page Format"

The SPF is very important. We use it to create pdf files, ebook files and other formats for readers to access using ebook readers and other hand held devices.

Scanning a book

Book is scanned
- if high speed scanning, then order pages so that you scan page 1 first, put any pages that come before page 1 after the last page of the book. This saves you the work of having to re-order / renumber the pages later.
- if flat bed scanning, you will order the pages in step 2
Place the pictures of the raw page scans into a folder named "raw" inside the proper book folder of the library.
Now the scans must be processed
- high speed scans need to be checked for marks and the page scans cleaned
- flat bed scans must be digitally cropped into single pages, then saved so the file numbers match the actual page numbering --while doing the crops you may also need to clean the scans, removing underlining and other marks from the pix.
- If you are having to crop "raw" pages from into single pages, you should use
  "save as" so that you do not overwrite the original raw scans. You will save them as a different name than the name you gave the raw pages. Thus is the raw page is called scan001.jpg, then you will "save as" bookname_001.jpg and bookname_002.jpg
The processed pages will now be put into a folder called "lg" meaning "large".
Now the page scans need to be batch processed using either Fireworks or Pixallon so that they are 600px wide
- You will set the process to export them to a folder called "bw" in the proper book folder.
- You will need to get a little training to properly do this. We set the pages to be 600 pixels wide but the height will vary because of the different page sizes of the different books
- When you are done with this step you will now have 3 folders holding different pages, you will have the "raw" folder, the "lg" folder, and the "bw" folder.
- only the bw folder will be placed online, the other two will be archived in case needed in the future.
The page scans in the "lg" folder can now be run through the OCR program - Currently we are using Omnipage 15 & 16
- The scans are imported and recognized
- They can be proofread during this process, so misreads can be corrected, but we usually correct misreads later on.
- Then the pages are exported as an .opd file, as well as a .txt file

The Raw Formatting

Now it is time to create a "raw.htm" and do the primary editing of the text,
after you have create the page, then:
open the .txt file in your html editor
copy all the text from the .txt file and paste it into the page you have created.
first separate the pages using the horizontal rule
Here there is an opportunity to use the Edit / Find And Replace feature to auto insert them in place of page headers if they exist.
After the pages are divided using horizontal rules (which is the <hr /> tag in the code) producing a line across the page like the one immediately below this text
Now fix the broken words between pages
check it via firefox for odd letters that need to be fixed, sometimes these are created by old style dashes in the text. They will need to be replaced with three new style dashes --- .
This is a good point to compare the RAW to the page scans and adjust any formatting that needs to be inserted. (because when you take out the on an html page or on an xhtml page it will be harder to compare the pages)
now is a good time to run the spell check because, you still have the page formatting that looks like the book scan.
Run spell check on the book, but do not correct British forms of words if the author originally wrote the book in a non-American form of English (ie colour, night, etc...) only correct real spelling errors. (save) Conversely do not correct American forms of words if the author originally wrote in a North American form of English. This requires using your good sense and if you are new to the differences between commonwealth and U.S. spelling, check on google or with a mentor to learn the basic differences.
After the spell check
insert paragraphs. This is the key to easy formatting, separating poems with paragraphs, using paragraphs to make sure the paragraphs are there. Don't worry about removing any line breaks. They will come out later.
Add paragraphs and italics, and centering at this point.
Are there any corrections that need to be made? Now is the time to finalize all corrections. This version MUST be accurate and correct. You can still easily compare it with the page scans at this point. AFTER this it will be harder.
then using find and replace you can remove all the - at the end of broken words. You will be doing this in the code which enables you to go one line below and remove ALL the code which can interfere with the words being sewn back together through this process. (be sure and do the page by page comparison before you do this) as it is harder to compare the text with the page scan once this is done.
At this point you can view it easily comparing it with page scan but the broken words that have been fixed are now going to make sentences go out on the side and will make those sections harder to compare. But look it over to see that the words that you have fixed are indeed fixed and together without a space in the middle.
By now you have checked formatting, is the book filled with line breaks that interrupt the easy flow of text? If this is the case, which is normally the case, then you will need to first insert paragraphs, if you haven't already done so at step 17, in order to preserve the formatting, where necessary to preserve formatting then (save).
If the book needs to have excess line breaks removed, for an xhtml page or in the case of an html page, use Edit / Find and Replace Feature in the "Code" mode to remove these breaks so the content is properly formatted.
-Before doing the above step, be sure you have inserted paragraphs where necessary to preserve formatting. (save)
now it is time to use find and replace to remove the or
AFTER this it is harder to compare with the page scans
preview the book with each browser (firefox, then chrome)
-make a note of anything appearing odd in a particular browser
Now you have to insure the page numbers are at the bottom of each page, not the top.
if the page numbers are at the top, they need to be moved so they are at the bottom of each page
there is a simple way to renumber them
- start at the top then work down
--change number 3 to number 2, number 4 to 3 etc.... but you have to check occasionally to see if you have them right. Page scans can help with this.
see if you can fix any odd stuff
Now you will copy the chapters from this RAW.htm into the prepared spf format, use the latest version.
AT this point you have already compared the RAW format with the page scans and so it is should be much easier to proceed.
if necessary, you can Compare the Single Page Version file of the book you have just created to the pictures of the book which should be in the bw folder. But you probably don't need to do this.

Creating the SPF or single page format

Now it is time to create the "SPF" or single page Format
- this is so that we can easily create great pdf's and more outputs and also to make it easier to correct spelling and more processing errors.
- Copy the latest spFormat.htm template file or if the book if the book has less than 34 chapters, if it has more than 34 chapters use spFormatLong.htm
  (spFormatLong is for books that have more than 34 chapters)
  into the book folder for the new book
- Rename the template to the full "New-Book-Name.htm". Use dashes to separate the words of the name.
- Open the template in a wysiwyg type web editor (You can use Dreamweaver or Microsoft's Sharepoint)
- Edit the book title & author info as well as the title in the code (save the file)
- If there is a picture of the author, then you will insert the new picture and adjust the alt tag to reflect the new picture (save the file). If there is no picture of the author and one cannot be found, then you will use either male or female pictures available depending on the gender of the writer. If you do not know the gender of the writer, then use the standard placeholder graphic.
- At this point you need to set the bio new author link to be an absolute link to the author's bio on the website.
- Go through the Contents section of the book and put in the proper Chapter titles as well as the page numbers of the first page of that Chapter, separating the chapter titles from the page number with a simple - . (Thus Chapter One - Greatness and Being - p.22) Be sure and put in the p. be sure that you don't delete the links when changing the names.
- if you haven't already updated the bio link, be sure and update the bio link at the top of the page to be an absolute link to the author's bio. You should get the absolute link by going to that bio page online either to NewThoughtLibrary.com or one of the mirrors and copying it. This will ensure that the link for the bio and the picture of the author are absolutely linked to the proper bio page when the pdf is eventually created.
- make sure that the picture is also linked to the bio page with an absolute link.
- Open notepad.exe (in accessories) copy the now corrected contents into a separate text file of the Chapters for this book. This should make the next step easier.
- Go down the "book".htm file inserting all the Chapter titles (which should include the page number of the first page of that chapter) into the Headers of each Chapter (save the "book".htm file)
- Make sure that you eliminate any excess old chapters left over from the spf if necessary.
- if you need to add more chapters, you will need to set up the anchor / links. But that would be unusual considering the spfLongformat has about 79 chapters.
- Now you are going to add the text to the Chapters, you will be copying the text from the bookNameRAW.htm source file to the new book-name.htm file which was created from the spFormat.htm file. The raw file has had the main processing and formatting compared to the page scans, BUT you may need to run a check at this point to verify you are on track.
- Copy all the text from each chapter of the source file and put it into the chapter sections of the target file.
- If it is both accurate and nicely formated and spell checked, go into the code, at the top of the book, in the code will be a comment which asks if the book has been spell checked, change it to YES if you spell checked it during you work on the "RAW" version of the book. If you are not sure then spell check it again and then change it to YES
- now Save the "book-name.htm" file
- upload to the library
- Do not link this book up until it is in the MPF format which you create below.

Creating the Final / Multipage Format

We have created a standardized Multipage Format to make this job easier.
It is in the "_multipageTemplate" folder.

checklist for book creation:

Make sure that the Single Page Version that you are using as a Source for your Multipage Format is ready. Check to see that it is has been spell checked. Look it over!
-There is a hidden note which indicates this in the code! Check it before proceeding.
You may need to make some corrections to the SPF as you go along. Look at the pages that you are copying from firefox before pasting them to see if there are any errors.
--if there is an error, correct it in the SPF formatted book first before copying it and pasting it into the MPF page.
Always use the latest_authorTemplate/_multipageTemplate book for your template.
To begin the processing into MPF formatting you follow the steps below
When you are copying and pasting from the_authorTemplate/_multipageTemplate folders, make sure your source page is at the same folder level as your target page.
Verify the number of pages that you need by looking in the bw page scans, then copy those pages from the _multipageTemplate folder to the target book folder that is being prepared.
Check the page scans to see if you need any 000 pages, they go from 000a to 000z
be sure to copy any 000 pages needed.
AFTER the pages are in the target book folder, close the _multipageTemplate folder
You will need to rename the pages first using the simple renamer program. This is the program that has the purple icon that looks like a scanner with a page going through it.
you will need to change "template_001.htm" to the particular "name-of-the-book_001.htm"
after this is done, make sure that the last 000 page is linked to 001.htm and that 001.htm is linked back to last letter in the alphabet 000 page. These links are at the bottom of the mpf pages. They read PREVIOUS PAGE / NEXT PAGE Do this manually so you do not delete the #TopOfPage anchor.
now you will be using the "Edit/Find and Replace" feature to prepare the pages. You will be highlighting info in the design mode, then going to the code mode to do the find and replace, thus you are going back and forth between design and code
Begin with the info that you can see in the "design" feature of the page.

"Serving New Thought is pleased to present
New Author's
Great New Thought Book"

You will need to replace New Author with the name of the author and Great New Thought Book with the actual name of the book. Thus if the author is Ernest Holmes and his book is called "Science of Mind " then it will read:

"Serving New Thought is pleased to present
Ernest Holmes'
Science of Mind "

Then highlight the info that you wish to replace in all the pages and go to the code, it will be highlighted in the code, you will copy the updated info, then go to a page that is not fixed up yet and highlight what you are replacing in the design then go to the code. Now you will use Find and Replace to replace that information in the code, with the code that you have corrected on all the pages. You must adjust the "Find and Replace" to target the book folder you are working in. It is important to check this manually so that you KNOW you are targeting the correct folder.
Next it is time to fix the metatags:
You will be in code mode for step using the Edit/Find and Replace feature:

You will find the basic SEO metatags below in the code at the top of each page:

<title>Great New Thought Book by Old new Thought Author- Read the Complete Text for free at NewThoughtLibrary.com</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="Great New Thought Book, Old New Author, Complete, Text, Online, New Thought Library, Library, Book, Books, Texts, Unity, Divine Science, Religious Science, Science of Mind, metaphysics, mystic, ">
<meta name="description" content="Great New Thought Book can be read for free at NewThoughtLibrary.com - the Library of Public Domain New Thought Books and Texts with Links to New Thought Communities and Teachers worldwide.">

You will have to copy the above tags
then paste them into the "Find" field of the Find and Replace tool
then paste a copy into the "Replace" field of the Find and Replace tool

Now adjust the metatags in the "Replace" field by changing

New Author to the correct name, if we use a similar example to that in the previous step for upgrading the pleased to present information.
then we will change New Author to Ernest Holmes
then Great New Thought Book to Science of Mind.

Thus they will read:

<title>Ernest Holmes Science of Mind - Read the Complete Text for free at NewThoughtLibrary.com</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, Complete, Text, Online, New Thought Library, Library, Book, Books, Texts, Unity, Divine Science, Religious Science, Science of Mind, metaphysics, mystic, ">
<meta name="description" content="read Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes for free at NewThoughtLibrary.com - the Library of Public Domain New Thought Books and Texts with Links to New Thought Communities and Teachers worldwide.">
Next it is time to fix the links: You will also be in code mode for this using the Edit/Find and Replace feature:

You will need to check the page scan pix in the "bw" folder to see how they are named. For instance, if they are named law_###.htm then you will be replacing template_ with law_ using the Find and Replace tool in code mode. The three ### stand for the numbers of the individual pages.
Open the proper page that has or will have the contents links on it. Set up that page first, from the spf to the mpf. Then link to the pages in the mpf so that you have that set up. This is how you do it.
copy from the bottom of the contents links in the spf, all the way to include the word contents at the top of those links.
paste that into the mpf page.
now use the "target method" to change the links to mpf pages they need to target.
once these links are properly set up, save the page you are working on
Now you will need to fix up the chapter links at the top of the pages.
go to the code and use the links that you just created to fix up the links to the chapters at the top
first get rid of the chapter links you don't need
add any links that you need, if necessary
now the links that are left, for instance if the book has 7 chapters, you will need 1 through 7 and you will need to adjust those links in the code on your mpf source page so they are targeting the right pages which are the same as links you just created on the contents page. IN the code these links will be below the chapter links at the top and you can use the code to figure it out, but you need to check your work before doing find and replace.
once the links are correct in the chapter links at the top, go back to the design and triple click to highlight them in the source page code and copy the highlighted code
now go to the target page, which is a page that has not had those links updated yet, and triple click the chapter links at the top in design mode and then go to the code and the code will be highlighted
now you will right click and select 'find and replace' then you will paste the source code in the bottom window
now copy the target code from the unchanged page and put it into the top window.
now run find and replace and you will be done with that
When you have done the above steps correctly then you can begin copying the text from the spf source file to the target mpf files. Here is how you do it.
You will open the spf formatted book in firefox and copy from firefox, pasting into the proper pages in dw, or in some cases you might want to copy from dw to dw
be sure and check the text for errors as you go along and pay attention to the page numbers. It is a good idea to check the page number at the beginning and end of every chapter. What if a page is skipped at the end of chapter because there was a blank page in the original book.
if there are page scans in the bw folder, it is a good idea to open one of them in the windows picture manager to check the pages against the original scans.
when you are done, then save the contents page, whatever page it is, as home.htm, then upload all the mpf pages and the renamed spf
now you need to go to the bio page and set up a relative link to the folder of the book
upload the bio page
now go to the bio page and click on the link to make sure it is going to the home page, which is a copy of the contents page and click on the links to make sure they are working, both the links from the contents page and the chapter links at the top of the page. (home.htm will not show up in the browser, because it is a type of "index" page, this is the way it should be)
if it is all working, it is now time to go back to the bio page online, in your browser, click on the book link once more
now copy the absolute link for the book from the top of the browser
open the default.htm page for that particular book and link to the book using the absolute link.
go to the default page by going to the subdomain for that book
--ie. the subdomain for Ernest Holmes is ernest-holmes.divinelibrary.org or the same in another mirror, ernest-holmes.newthoughtlibrary.com
--the subdomain for Charles Fillmore should be charles-fillmore.divinelibrary.org or in another mirror charles-fillmore.newthoughtancientwisdom.com
test the links in the default page to make sure they are all working correctly including the new one you just created.
for the links of the default.htm page to work correctly so that all the pictures show up when going to the book, they must be absolute links to the book in the library
--ie for Ernest Holmes 1938 edition of Science of Mind, the absolute link is
http://www.newthoughtlibrary.com/holmesErnest/scienceOfMind1938/
links for the writers bio are relative, thus they are relative to the website and not absolute.
-- Absolute include http://domainname.com
----Absolute links are links that give the complete web address to go to a particular page or file on the web. They have the complete website address.
--Relative links are created in dw and do not have http:// and the domain name etc..
----Relative links are relative to the website
Now adjust the home.html page in the audioEbook folder.
--check the metatags and adjust them to reflect that they can download a free pdf of the book.
Always test the links of the book.

Upgrading existing Multipage Books

When we look at some of the old books, from the nascent days of the library, we see a number of things that have to be corrected. Using the Find and Replace feature, we can easily fix up the website and make it easier for people to use. We can also communicate our values and vision better.

Common problems with the old books are: that the PREVIOUS / NEXT links at the bottom of the pages do not go to the top of the text of the next page; that the sidebars contain old links or lack links to the new resources.

To upgrade these older books, we have to test them and then begin the process of upgrading them.

If a book is only in SPF online, does it have page scans and a .txt file so that it can be properly put into multipage format? If it does then, a new SPF must be created, then an MPF created from that.

DO NOT UPLOAD THE NEW SPF AS A home.htm

Create an MPF first.

For books that are do not have page scans or page numbers to guide in the creation of an MPF and there is only an old SPF version of the book online. Then a "Chapter version of an MPF must be created" and the contents page of the Chapter MPF should be saved as home.htm

And example of a chapter version created on the 24th of August, 2011 can be viewed at

http://divinelibrary.org/wattlesWallace/science-of-getting-rich/

the process is elucidated at Creating Chapter MPF's further down this page.

Checking books to see if they need upgrading

when you click on the PREVIOUS / NEXT links at the bottom do they go to the top of the text, or to the top of the page?
If it goes to the top of the page, instead of the top of the text, the pages need anchors (TopOfText), the book needs upgrading to the new MPF pages
Does it say Global New Thought? If so the book needs upgrading to the new MPF pages.
Once you know a book needs to be upgraded by viewing the pages online DOWNLOAD THE LATEST PAGES of the book
check to see if there is a new MPF template version. http://divinelibrary.org/_authorTemplate/_multipageTemplate/template_029.htm
--you can check the latest format by clicking on the link above.
First usually need to create new spFormat page from the old page(s).
--make sure you have the latest SPF by looking at the version of the SPF at the bottom of the SPF page.

http://divinelibrary.org/_authorTemplate/_bookTemplate/spFormat.htm
If the book is online in an old spFormat, it needs to be upgraded to the new format for the creation of a pdf.
BUT the book must be put into an mpFormat before saving the MPF contents page as home.htm
In the case of books that do not have page scans or page numbers: Such books should be put into a new style Chapter Format so there will be sidebars to enable the viewer to easily access the other free resources, or know they can call in for prayer work.
In some cases, the Fillmore books are an example of this, there is no old spFormat for the old books, thus they need SPF's.
first create the SPF
then using the new SPF create the new MPformat pages AFTER the SPF has been created.
set up the spf, the same as usual, the latest SPF process outline is above, then you will begin copying the pages into the spf. You will be copying all the pages from the old mpf into the new spf
this is what might be called reverse engineering
you may need to adjust the spf if it is picking up old formatting.
after the spf is created, properly formatted, updated and spell checked
test it on your computer.
The SPF should be uploaded when finalized, BUT do not save it as home.htm
create the MPF first, you will save the contents page of the MPF as home.htm
When creating a chapter version, refer to creating chapter MPF's
create an mpf using the instructions above under "Creating the Final / Multipage Format

Upgrading an existing MPF book ie Shinn's Door

is there an spf of the book?
if not create an spf using the instruction above
Determine how many pages there are
check the beginning of the book and see where the book begins.
-- does it begin at page 1, or page 7, or perhaps there are prepages which means you will need some 000's starting with 000a.htm
Are there page scans for the book? If there are no page scans but there are page numbers, then it is important to
--be sure and make room for the contents page which links to the individual pages
copy the pages from the multipage template folder
paste them into the target book folder
--in the case of Shinn's Door this would be the "door" folder
follow the MPF instructions above, here is a summary of that process.
use the basic renamer to rename the pages
open two of the pages in dw
use one of the pages as your model page and the other page as your target for the find and replace
Fix up the metatags, make sure the book name is first in the keywords and first in the title ie The Secret Door to Success by Florence Scovel Shinn
--some of the old metatags for books have the author first which is the way the bios should be, not the way books should be.
Fix the author name, title and picture, putting them into the proper order, if necessary using find and replace, replace that metatag CODE for all the new template pages
now it is time to fix the contents pages
they need to be copied and pasted and then linked using the target method
now the page content can be pasted from the new SPF to the individual pages.
books normally begin either with the 000a.htm page or in some case with the 001.htm page
IF a book begins with a 001.htm page, then it is necessary that the back link at that bottom of the 001.htm page be linked to the default.htm page for that author.
need an example to see how this is done?
--then copy the "PREVIOUS PAGE" link code from the 000a.htm page
--paste it into the link field for the 001.htm page

Creating Chapter Versions of MPF's

In some cases, old books do not have page scans or page numbers. Some of them are in old chapter format and these are not a priority to upgrade, but those in SPF format online need to be upgraded to chapter format using the MPF pages.

Doing this is very simple and is a good thing to work on to speed things along with the upgrade of the library.

First you need to determine the number of pages necessary for the book.
This is done by adding the number of chapters, to the preface, foreword, contents, index and glossary page.
Chapter 1 of the book should use the 001.htm page, Chapter 2, should use the 002.htm page
The contents page should be on 000a.htm
--The contents page will include:
---- the title of the book from the SPF
---- information about the writer that is at the top of the SPF
The next page should be the first section of the book
--Thus if the foreword comes first after the contents page in the SPF, that will be 000b
-- if there is a preface in front of the forward, or an introduction that would come first.
--The SPF is the guide for the prepages
Then come the chapters using the 001.htm, 002.htm, 003.htm for chapters 1, 2 and 3 etcetera..
If there is a glossary or index, you use the MPF glossary and indices pages for those page.
An example of one of these can be viewed at

http://divinelibrary.org/wattlesWallace/science-of-getting-rich/
Essentially, the same process as creating a standard MPF is followed but you use a little thought as outlined above to determine the pages necessary. Chapter formatted books are a temporary solution that is applied until the time that we are able to get page scans for the book.
--by putting books into this style of chapter format, end-users will be able to easily download a pdf of the book and also to be able to easily access other resources.

To upgrade a bio page to the new bio template and then create a default page for the subdomain

First copy the bio_newAuthor.htm & the default.htm from the current _authorTemplate folder
paste these two files into the author's folder that you are upgrading
Open the author's current bio page, then open the bio_newAuthor.htm page, then open the new default page.
Go to the current bio page, copy the current information from that page
paste this info into the notepad program
to copy the information from the notepad program, it must be copied again so that you are using the cleaned text from the notepad and not using the first "copy" from the original page.
go to bio_newAuthor.htm and paste this into it. The text might be blue, this is because it is not styled.
If necessary, Style the text "text regular" using ctrl A, then selecting textRegular from the styles menu in the properties menu at the bottom of the program under the workspace.
Now you need to redo the links. You will link to the book folders by using the 'target' method.
Now we need to fix up the page in other ways, the author name should not be copied, type it out fresh so that it does not get any of the old coding
Copy the picture, verify that the 'alt tag' is accurate, it should be the name of the author, usually it is best to copy the name of the author so that it is not mispelled in the alt tag.
Now it is time to do the metatags.
Review the metatags and update them so that they are better for the search engines.
When the new bio page(s) is/are fixed up and properly linked to each other if there are more than one.
Now use "save as" to save the bio_newAuthor.htm onto the old bio page.
do not type in the name of bio page, use save as and save it onto the old bio page.
Upload the new bio page or pages. They will now have the Author's name instead of newAuthor, but for the sake of simplicity, I will keep referring to these pages as the bio_newAuthor page(s)
-- You will need the first bio page on the web so that you can do the default page
test the bio page at this point
By going to the authors.htm page online

http://divinelibrary.org/authors.htm#TopOfText

one can go directly to the bio pages. The authors.htm links go directly to the bio_newAuthor pages for the respective authors.

when you go to the bios from the author.htm page, they show up in the browser address window like this:

http://divinelibrary.org/towneElizabeth/bio_towne.htm
http://divinelibrary.org/allenAbel/bio_abel.htm
http://divinelibrary.org/wattlesWallace/bio_wattles.htm
http://divinelibrary.org/holmesFenwicke/bio_fenwicke.htm
http://divinelibrary.org/holmesErnest/bio_holmes.htm
check the new links from the bio page to the book folders
-- make sure you have indeed linked to the folder and not a page in the book.
--if you have linked to the folder then the link will show up like this:

--notice that there is no .htm at the end of the address.
-- it is linking to the folder and thus the home.htm page is acting as an "index" for the book.
now check to make sure that
-- all the links are functioning properly
-- all the links are to folders and not files
--all the links open a new page using the target "blank" under the link in the dw
-- no book folders are linked to that are not ready to be linked
----- if a book has not been processed, it is not ready to be linked to
Now fix the default.htm page for this author.
Begin with the author name in the default page
Now copy the author's picture from the bio_newAuthor.htm page and paste it into the default page.
the bio page, was uploaded to that authors folder online, so it now appears when going to the page using the regular library links.
You should be able to copy the author picture directly from the bio page to the default.htm page but if it is not showing up. Using Firefox right click on the bio picture of the author online and select "View Image Info"
copy the Location of the picture which is an absolute link
paste this into the Src field in the Properties menu below
--the default.htm page uses absolute links to make the graphics work properly
--this will insure that the picture works properly
Now copy the text from the bio_newAuthor page content and paste it into the default page and if necessary style it textRegular.
Now make sure both the links in the bio_newAuthor page and the default page open new pages, this is done by setting the page to (target _blank). This can be done by going ot the properties menue in dw It is below the link in dreamweaver properties menu at the bottom of the design mode
Now the default.htm page links must be properly set. This is done by going to the bio page online
Using Firefox, go to the bio page online,
refresh the bio page
click on the first book link
copy the URL from the browser address -
return to the default.htm page in dreamweaver,
click on the link in the design view
go to the properties menu at the bottom
go to the 'link' field in the properties menu and paste the new link into it
-- you are replacing the existing relative link to the book folder with this address
--now you have an absolute link to the book folder
--an absolute link is a complete web address to the book folder
make sure the link is set to target "blank" below the link field in the properties menu.
Repeat this for all the books for this writer that are currently being linked to in the ilbrary.
once the default.htm page is finished , upload it to the library
test the default page by going to the subdomain for that writer and clicking on each link to insure it is working properly

Subdomains are like this:
http://abel-allen.divinelibrary.org/
http://ernest-holmes.divinelibrary.org/
http://wallace-wattles.divinelibrary.org/
http://elizabeth-towne.divinelibrary.org/

--you should see all the pictures and proper formatting when you go to each book from the default.htm page which comes up when you go the subdomain.
be sure and refresh the page if you have previously visited the subdomain. You may need to clear your cache. If the page is not appearing correctly you need to copy a new default page from the template folder and make a new default page for the author.
