An eBook or electronic book is an executable file (in .exe file format) or
a file in .pdf format, that can be downloaded easily visitors to your eBook's
download page. The pages of the eBook are in digital format and can accommodate
both text and images. Creating an eBook is very beneficial because it can
promote well your small Catholic web site and blog. A good and affordable eBook
creation software can be found at www.wulfsoft.com.
The software is very user-friendly and can be customized according to your web developer
needs.
Steps in creating the eBook
If you decide to purchase the eBook software at www.wulfsoft.com,
these are the steps you need to take to create and publish the eBook.
Create a special folder in your My Documents folder for the pages and images
you want to use in the eBook
In creating the internal links of the eBook, use relative rather than absolute
linking. This means, you are to use only the file name in the linking (e.g. "filename.html")
instead of including the whole domain name (e.g. "http://www.yourdomain.net/filename.html")
Do the same with your image files and with your html pages. Only link the file name
of your images with their corresponding file extensions (e.g. "image1.jpg" or "image2.gif").
Make the first page of your eBook, the index.html file. This is very important as this
will be the anchor file that will collect and collate all the other files and images in the
special folder you have created.
After you have finalized all your html and image files, then you can open the eBook
creation software and just follow the user-friendly instructions of the program.
There are many options in the creation of the eBook. You can opt to have a password
created to access and open the contents of the eBook. You can also designate an expiry date
by which the eBook expires and cannot be accessed anymore.
Before you decide to create an eBook, you must first verify whether your web hosting
service accommodates files in executable format (e.g. "index.exe") because this is the
file that contains your downloadable eBook. If your web hosting account accommodates files
in executable format, then all you need to do to publish your Catholic eBook is to upload the
eBook file into the directory of your preference, using a free FTP client such as
www.coreftp.com or FileZilla.
Once your eBook is uploaded and published on your Catholic web site, you can promote it
well so that others can benefit from the information given in the eBook. You can do this
by creating the eBook with links pointing to articles in your site and blog.
