"Blogging for Business" cover done

My Blogging for Business book's cover is done and displayed in the upper right hand corner of the blog. There may be some minor colortone changes, but it's pretty much done.

Authors, in this case myself and co-author Shel Holtz, have little to do with their book covers. The publisher designs the cover and basically says "Here it is." In our case they also asked "do you like it?" Since authors are typically not "book cover designers" nor graphic designers, this makes perfect sense. Publishers have designed lots of covers and are hopefully good at it.

There is also a new subtitle, which appears at the top of the cover: Everything you need to know and why you should care. I like it. Our editor came up with two great subtitles and we settled on this one.

Now Shel and I just need to finished reviewing the edits, track down some permissions for screenshots we're using, check the page layouts when they're done, and probably a long list of other stuff before we actually see the physical printed book, although it's seeming more real now.

I journalist asked what I was going to do when the book was done. I replied, "Take a loooong nap" :)

Most Internet users have been targeted by criminal phishing emails, yet less than one third have any idea what phishing is, and only 3.5% have changed their habits due to the threat of phishing!

Risks include Identity Theft, Credit Card fraud, and more.
