Back online

The server for this site was down for more than two days with “massive corruption to the operating system.” It felt like forever.

Previously scheduled posts should start to appear momentarily (below this one).

I’m glad to see you back on line. We’ve become so dependent on the Internet that it’s a total bummer when something goes amiss.

Kinda like our democracy’s been down due to massive corruption in the executive sector. Good thing we get a reboot every four years.

This companion blog to www.rightreading.com explores the full gamut of print and electronic publication, from conception, research, and editing through design, typesetting, and image preparation, through paper, print, and pixel on to marketing and sales. It seeks to integrate the editorial and design functions, which too seldom communicate effectively. Books, authors, translation, and reviewing are also covered.
