My Publisher free mini book

This morning I went and made my free "mini" photo book from My Publisher.  If you happened to miss it on my Wednesday Deals post it's a free "mini" photo book that measures 3.5" X 2.75".  It's good for up to 21 photos, and you can have color or black and white, or both. It'll even make some color photos into black and white for you. 

I had a little trouble getting this to work out for me, and ended up making two books, so here's some advice to get you going so you won't have to take as long as I did.  First, so you understand, there is some software installation required to use this publisher. Doesn't take that long, and my husband hasn't yelled at me yet, so it's all good. When you go into the MyPublisher program to start, in one of the first windows to open it asks if you would like help getting started.  Check the no box, to select the Custom Publisher Option. Then when you select your book size make sure you pick "Mini".  You'll have the chance to enter your coupon code at the check out to get your free book with free shipping.  Then you can start uploading your photos.  Another tip is to make sure you have some good quality photos. I had a few that were from my iphone that did not allow me to zoom to fit the pages the way I would've liked, due to the chance the picture would have a blurry appearance.  I do believe it will let you go ahead and do it anyway, with warnings, as I left my cover photo zoomed in a tad.

I wasn't horribly impressed with this program.  Having never made a photo book online before I had my own ideas on what I thought it should have, (like ability to add frames and text to photos.)  Overall it is low on the custom thrills end. If you want photos edited and with text, I love Picnik.  Edit them there, save them to your photo files, and then upload them to this program. 

In case you missed it, here is the link to the facebook page for My Publisher, where you submit your email address.  They will then email your one time use coupon code to you.  These codes expire on 7/11.  You can also get a Father's Day sale coupon code after you install for 25% off orders over $50, and 50% off orders over $100. Have fun, I can't wait to get mine, and will post pictures of it when I do!
