Happy New Year and almost February! We are off to a great new start and cannot wait to see how the year progresses and how many CaringBridge journals we can print for our awesome customers. We cannot be more grateful for your support and love working together with you to print your journals. And we are so glad you found us.
So one of the main questions we get asked is... what does the inside of the books look like? The truth is, everyone's is slightly different. Depending on the year you published your CaringBridge, how you mostly uploaded your posts (mobile verses desktop), what operating system you use, and other factors-- everyone's books look slightly different. However, the general template and look is the same. What our team does, is edit pretty much the same things from everyone's PDF, to make it look more beautiful and cleaner in a book format. Printing your CaringBridge is exciting and we want it to look perfect!
We start with your PDF and we edit out things like:
-All of the URLs. We've started noticing URLs next to every single post. So we manually take those out.
-Any box or section that says "Comment" or "Donate to CaringBridge." Anywhere that promotes the website and is not content that you wrote or comments other people left.
-Duplicate post that we notice or that you point out.
In order to keep the cost of the books as affordable as we can, we do not build in a lot of editing and proofreading time. However, some customers prefer we do that and like to have more editing done than others. For those that are interested we can estimate a small design fee to help you get the book exactly as you want it!
No matter what, you will always see a proof before it prints. We rely on you to proofread and be sure all posts are included and that there are no duplicate posts or comments. As a reminder, if you are saving your PDF, please remember to open every post and every comment where it says "SHOW MORE" so that the full text will load.
Please email us at sales@bridgetobook.com if you have any specific requests or questions and we would love to help you any way we can this year.
