1:
I
visited
www.sellinfoproductsonline.com/cover_maker.html
and
ordered
the software
called
"eCoverGenerator".
If
you
have
never
ordered
downloadable
software
over
the
internet
you
should
be
advised
of
a
few
things. - First, make certain you have a solid block of uninterrupted time to fill in your customer information, credit card info, and to download or record the links to the downloadable files (if you plan to do the downloading at a later time);
- Have your credit card information
available;
- Print out the downloading instructions page. If actual url link addresses are not clearly seen on the print out page place your mouse's cursor over each download link and see if the url address appears in the status bar located at the bottom of your browser's window. If you see the addresses record them on the download page printout. If you cannot see a url you'll need to download each file in the order that they appear on the page before you leave that page.
- Understand that downloading software and getting
it to operate on your computer usually involves three separate steps: the download to your computer,
installation onto your computer
and
restarting
your
computer
to
activate
it.
On the day that I ordered eCoverGenerator I reached the download page at 4:55 p.m. and downloaded all the software and bonuses by 5:05 p.m.
I
wrote
down
the
actual
size
of
each
file
that
was
loaded
on
my
download
instructions
page.
Several
weeks
later,
when
I
had
time
to
install
the
software,
I
discovered
that
the
eCoverGenerator
file
would
not
install.
I
received
a
warning
message
alerting
me
that
information
was
missing.
So,
Since
weeks
had
elapsed
since
I
had
ordered
the
program
I
went
to
my
printed
version
of
the
download
page
and
discovered
that
I
had
not
written
down
the
link
to
download
the
software.
I
sent
an
email
to
the
support
desk
at
eCoverGenerator's
site
and
mentioned
the
problem.
Understand
that
it
was
around
3
a.m.
on
a
Sunday
morning
when
I
sent
off
this
email
and
in
less
than
12
hours
I
had
received
a
reply
and
instructions
on
redownloading
the
files.
Very
impressive...
The
instructions
were
to
delete
and/or
uninstall
any
existing
parts
of
the
eCover
Generator
program
first
and
then
download
again
from
the
link
that
was
sent
in
the
email
message.
Once
the
program
was
downloaded
I
installed
it
by
clicking
on
the
file's
icon
and
an
installation
wizard
walked
me
through
the
easy
installation
process.
After
the
eCover
Generator
program
was
installed
I
then
repeated
the
process
with
the
templates
file
set
up.
The
installation
order
of
the
eCover
Generator
program
and
the
templates
setup
program
is
very
important.
First
do
the
eCover
Generator
and
then
upload
and
install
the
templates
setup
file.
When
I
ordered
the
programs
the
Template
setup
file
was
5.4
MB
in
size
according
to
the
download
page.
When
I
first
downloaded
the
file
only
5.28
MB
was
downloaded.
I
didn't
notice
the
discrepancy
earlier
but
when
it
came
time
to
install
the
templates
setup
file
I
knew
something
was
amiss
because
the
installation
wizard
wasn't
kicked
into
action.
So
I
deinstalled
my
existing
Templates
setup
files
and
then
I
attempted
a
download.
This
time
only
65.2
KB
was
downloaded
and
it
only
took
2
seconds.
But
65.2
KB
does
not
equal
a
5.4
MB
file
so
I
deleted
the
faulty
file
and
tried
again.
This
next
time
it
only
took
1
second
for
the
65.2
KB
file
to
download.
I
tried
to
install
this
file
but
got
a
warning
notice
stating
that
the
program
had
performed
an
illegal
operation.
Of
course
it
did
because
the
download
was
only
a
partial
one.
So
I
deleted
the
file
yet
again
and
on
this
next
go-round....
It
worked!
Yahoo...
This
time
it
took
45
seconds
for
the
file
to
download
and
in
the
end
the
file
size
was
5.58
MB.
That's
more
like
it.
So
I
clicked
on
the
Templates
setup
icon
and
the
installation
wizard
appeared
and
the
whole
installation
process
went
off
without
a
hitch.
Here's
the
take
home
message
regarding
downloading
software
files:
Make
certain
you
record
the
size
of
the
file
before
you
download
it.
Then
check
to
confirm
that
the
file
you
downloaded
matches
"file-size-wise".
If
the
two
numbers
match
Bravo!
If
not,
delete
the
file
on
your
computer
and
redownload.
Of
all
the
Generator
programs
that
I
have
downloaded
from
Armand
Morin's
sites
I
never
had
partial
download
problems
before.
And
these
partial
downloads
were
most
likely
a
problem
that
occurred
between
the
eCoverGenerator's
server
and
my
computer.
Maybe
there
were
hiccups
in
the
cable
system
between
my
computer
and
the
server.
Maybe
my
cable
provided
was
switching
between
regular
power
and
emergency
power
when
I
was
downloading
and
the
file
transfer
information
got
messed
up. Who
knows
for
certain
but
the
download
and
installations
have
been
successfully
completed
and
that's
what
really
matters
in
the
end.
Step
2:
I
clicked
on
the
eCoverGenerator
icon
and
"Voila!"
the
program's
first
of
five
screen
appeared
and
I
was
off
to
the
races
to
create
my
first
eBook
cover.
I
noticed
that
a
drop-down
menu,
located
at
the
bottom
left
hand
corner
of
the
screen allowed
me
to
pick
from
8
different
cover
types: - 2-sided box;
- 3-sided box;
- book cover;
- electronic magazine cover;
- CD cover;
- special report;
- think book;
- wide book.
When
I
clicked
on
any
of
those
options
an
example
of
what
the
"undecorated"
cover
would
look
like.
I
chose
the
following
template:
"Book
Cover
Plain
Mint"
and
an
image
of
that
cover
appeared
in
a
viewing
window
on
the
right
half-size
of
the
screen.
Step
3:
I
clicked
on
"Next"
and
the
second
screen
appeared
with
the
following
instructions
at
the
top
of
the
screen:
"Select
the
Book/Box
Cover
Image".
Now,
I
have
to
admit
that
the
first
time
I
gazed
at
this
screen
the
first
thought
was
"Now
what?".
I
Felt
Like
A
Dog
That
Chased
Cars
All
Of
His
Life
And Then
Actually
Caught
One... Now What? So
there
I
sat,
looking
at
the
screen
for
about
15
loooooooong
seconds.
"Well,"
I
thought,
"maybe
it's
time
for
a
title."
I
moved
my
cursor
over
the
"Aa"
icon
and
a
little
"description
window"
popped-down
with
the
words:
"Creates
A
New
Text
Layer".
Clicking
on
that
icon
allowed
me
to
type
in
my
text
in
a
little
"text
window".
Once
I
had
the
font,
font
size, color,
transparency,
bevel
effect and
shadows
adjusted
I
clicked
on
the
"OK"
button
and
was
returned
to
Screen
2.
I
readjusted
the
size
of
the
text
and
moved
it
over
the
cover.
I
did
this
several
times
to
create
a
total
of
5
different
text
fields: - "Hip-Pocket
Guide
To
Basic
Drum
Beats";
- "Rock
Waltz
Swing
Country
Latin
Funk";
- "Percussion
Drums
Tom
Toms
Bass
Hi-Hats
Cymbals
Snare";
- "Gerard
LeBlond"; and
- "www.BasicDrumBeats.com".
Those
text
fields
were
positioned
on
the
cover
by
clicking
on
a
text
field
and
then
moving
the
"boxed"
text
to
an
appropriate
location.
The
text
that
read
"Rock
Waltz
Swing
Country
Latin
Funk"
was
taken
from
a
horizontal
layout
to
a
vertical
one
using
a
little
tool
on
the
"tool
menu"
that
looks
like
two
little
triangles
with
a
curved
arrow
that
rotates
the
image
or
text
that's
"high-lited"
90
degrees
clock-wise.
