I'm glad you like the look of the book trailer :) And yes, I made this one because I had seen lots of them all over and thought 'what a good idea!' Now I just wish I had more places to put it. I'm going to book mark your link, thanks!

When I first heard of them I thought they were something terribly complicated, but it turns out that they're just an advanced sort of slideshow. Not a bad idea really, except that I've never seen one which made me actually want to read the book! *g* I didn’t know either until a couple of months ago.

Thanks, elfscribe :) It's not quite so flashy as some of the other trailers I've seen, but if it makes the book look good, that's all I could hope for :) Hee!

They seem to be the latest in thing. You can get people to make them for you (the same people will make you websites and banners etc), but I don't really have the money for that. We're having a bit of a financial crisis at the moment :) So making it myself or not having one at all were my options. I'm very pleased that it stands up to re-watching :) Thank you!

At least I know how to add music now! Actually that track was a good find, because it was just the right length to terminate in a good rounding-up, ending sort of way just at the end of the pictures. And it had dramatic bits which fitted the dramatic bits ;) Hurray for Rodney! I have him in 'Secrets' too. At this rate, we'll make him as famous as Nelson. And he's totally the sort who would make sure his young cousin rose rapidly through the service. Woohoo! I'm so glad to hear you've got a weekend to write, and I can't wait to read all about it. Thanks for the blockquote tip! As you can see, we've all benefited from it :) Dauntless wrote

Thank you, and I'm glad it works for you :) Yes, I figured out the 'defeat' thing in the end, so now it says 'destroy' in the place of the second one. I was just too close to it to see it before.
