I’m starting work on the companies new website and I’m using Mambo. Mambo is very powerful, but with out a good book or “how to”; it’s just another language. In my search for books I found a great publisher / series. Visual Quickstart Guide from Peachpit Press is great! Most under $25, well written, screen shots in the center and text columns on the out side for ease of use. I have 6 books now and have been happy with each one. I’ve found these at Boarders and Barnes & Noble. So the next time you’re looking for a good book at an afordable price keep these in mind.

Being the “graphics” guy for the company I was asked to put our logo on a CD. Now from past experiences of cups coming back looking really bad I’ve starting doing this. Give them more then they ask for. Most sales people are not graphics guys and do not know the difference between an illustrator file and a BMP. Give them every file type know to man and it’s a chance they can find one that works. On one cd I burn off these common types, .jpeg, .eps, .ai, .wmf, and .pdf. I always include the .pdf, this way they can see what the logo normally looks like. Last and most important, I include a full-page print out of our logo. After this, there should be no reason for any item to come back looking blurry, stretched, and or pinched.
