Just use Photoshop or whatever graphics program you use to prepare the bookmarks to convert RGB to CMYK. Ask one of your graphic artist friends if you need help. :) <br /><br />An Australian politician comes up a lot if I search on Jennette Powell (but the top results are mostly me), but if I search on Jennette Marie Powell, they're all me. :)Jennette Marie Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992037939637425401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-56547142829130847242013-05-13T14:06:06.687-04:002013-05-13T14:06:06.687-04:00That is great about setting an alarm for the full ...That is great about setting an alarm for the full moon!

You can only push it so far, but it is possible.<br /><br />Re: Google<br />My name is unique enough that I get very little competition. But one year, I let the url for my web site lapse and a big company snapped it up. They do that sometimes to make you pay them more for the dot com extension.<br /><br />I said no thanks and stuck to a blog ever since.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.com
