Version 4 of this popular presentation, relates to seven ways to publish on the web. This presentation was given at the Guild of One-Name Studies (GOONS) Conference in Malden, Essex, England on Sunday April 15, 2012. The synposis reads: If you can e-mail, or upload files then you have enough knowledge and experience to publish to the web. The lecture will focus on seven easy alternatives. The hardest part is deciding what method you are going to use! The majority of us use the internet for searching, and exchanging information mainly by e-mail. If you have virtual presence the likelihood of others finding you increases significantly. Please note, this lecture does not include programming, web design, or setting up a website. However, you do not need these skills to publish to the web. Some links in this presentation require membership to the Guild of One-Name Studies, available at www.one-name.org

26. What is Print On-Demand?
Print on demand (POD), sometimes mistakenly referred to as
publish on demand, is a printing technology employed by
publishers in which new copies of a book (or other document)
are not printed until after an order for them has been received.
"Print on Demand" developed only after the development of
digital printing, because of the practical and economic
difficulties of printing single copies using traditional printing
technology such as letterpress or offset printing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publishing_on_demand
What does this mean for you?
Self-Publishing
An affordable and easy way to get a book into print
No initial outlay
No minimum order
Ease of changing the content
Different types – Books, Photo Creations, Digital Media

27. On-Demand Publishing: Printed / Online
If you can use Microsoft Word, or any word processing
software you can publish your own family history
See http://www.msboycott.com/thealt/alts/word.shtml
Needs ability to create a PDF
I use PDF-XChange (Standard)
See http://www.docu-track.com/home/prod_user/pdfxchange_standard/
Hardest part is creating the publication

Reporter, using GEDCOM (http://www.tcgr.bufton.org/)
