You are right.... an upgrade of the editor is on our list. Thanks Brodie.

Hi,
Yes, there is a way to do that. In the table of contents on the left (beside the large book viewer) is a little pencil icon to the right each piece of content. Click the pencil icon and you will see an "Edit Content" page. There is a box on the upper right that you can uncheck beside the phrase "Display title page in the book?". That will remove the title page in front of that piece of content. If you would like you can uncheck that box whenever you upload or add content.
I hope that helps.
Thanks
Mark

Hi Cate,
Thanks for pointing this out. The first problem is with our description. It should say that this is a file that cannot be edited (not just a PDF). It is possible to edit text that has been added in the simple BookRiff editor (in the section "Write Your Own Content"). However, in order to edit a Word doc, you will need to make those changes in Word and upload it again.
We will keep this issue in mind when we upgrade the text editor. I hope this helps Cate. Thanks
Mark

Hi there Cate.....thanks for your enthusiasm! Beta is going to be up and running any day now. We are in early stage beta now. We will open it to a wider group when we knowck out the last bugs and load some content to test. You are on the list for the next round. We are waiting breathlessly too! Thanks again.

Riff replied on October 23, 2009 04:30 to the question "How Do I Enter a Long(ish) Title?" in BookRiff.com:

For now that is the limit of characters. We are going to create a more robust cover creator post-launch that enables more options for input and customization. There may be a way to override the font size, but it will not look great. I will check and get back to you.

Sorry, but the upload of the fix won't take effect until about noon PST, about an hour from now. Thanks

See you on Webex

Riff replied on April 27, 2009 21:40 to the problem "Added image" in BookRiff.com:

I think you may need simply to refresh this page. It seems the book Previewer may not be reloading since you are in the Preview section. I have noticed this myself a couple weeks ago.

Riff replied on April 27, 2009 20:12 to the problem "Mixed content" in BookRiff.com:

Thanks for these comments Greg. We had not noticed any of them. They will go right on the list for resolution. Working on an upload issue right now.

Riff replied on April 25, 2009 18:40 to the problem ""Save" button should be on top as well." in BookRiff.com:

Were you adding articles from the Search section of the Web? Or were you writing content in the Write section? Thanks
Mark

Riff replied on April 25, 2009 18:38 to the problem "Sign-in issue" in BookRiff.com:

Thanks Greg, we will get right on it. Mark

Riff replied on April 25, 2009 08:25 to the idea "Specific URL" in BookRiff.com:

Good idea Greg. We had a URL input at an early stage of BookRiff but decided to simply the site. For now you can use a browser and cut and paste content into BookRiff using the "Write" function. You can do as Brian suggests, but a lot of web content needs to be cleaned for printing so a direct add to your Riff may not always get the desired results.
Thanks for your comment.
