    • ]]>     A while ago, I wrote about “Publishing yourself online”. Among other solutions, Lulu, seemed to be a more traditional publishing method, with the twist you do it your self, and you can decide what kind of book you want (e-book, paperback, hardcover, etc.). The other day I was spending some cycles trying to find out if they provide LaTeX templates, and no, they are a Microsoft shop (with the option of dealing with Open Office). They, however allow you to upload PDFs, so you can also prepare manuscripts in LaTeX. I searched a bit, and run into and very useful post by Veta Project describing how to take your LaTeX document and make it Lulu friendly. Worth taking a look at it…

    • ]]>     A while ago Kumara Sastry introduced me to the beauty of SlideShare. I have been using SlideShare services for a while in the little blogging I do to upload, share, embed, and display some of my presentations. The other day David E. Goldberg introduced me to Scribd. The site takes the SlideShare idea further and allows you to use their services as a publish-it-yourself site. It also allows you to embed the document on your page, as SlideShare does. A slightly different flavor of the publish-it-yourself idea is Lulu. Here, the gears are more oriented to have an online cheap publisher where you are your own editor. As I said, a different flavor for a different purpose.
