Publications page

This page is intended to contain a list of classmate publications. The model template at hrtemplate.org has one possible way to do this.

The html code to generate this format is more than a little tedious to generate by hand. To simplify the process we have written a program that takes much of the effort out of the process. More about that a bit later.

Amazon Associates

If you would like to join Amazon Associates, you can simply search for them on Google and follow the instructions on screen. It's a simple process and the main piece of information that you will need is the payee name for the bank account to receive any payments. Once you have an Amazon Associates account you are ready to proceed.

Download and prepare images

Amazon is the best source of images for your publications page. We suggest that you keep all the images in a single directory (\hrxx\books, for example) and that you name the files with the author's last name plus a bit of the title. (This naming convention will make things much easier later on.)

To download an image, right click on it and choose "Save link as", or the equivalent in your browser.

Once you have downloaded some image files, you will probably have to process them. Amazon has taken to surrounding their images with white space. I find that it pays to bring the images into a photo-editing program and to cut out the white space.

When you have all the images for a particular author you are ready to begin assembling the html.
