Starting a Book

 So you are ready to start your first book.  Once you are all logged in you will get a screen that gives you some choices.  We are choosing a book:


When you select the book, it will take you to a screen where you can choose what kind of book you want.  I recommend just clicking the "start your book" button. 


It will take you to another screen where you can make specific choices:


1. Is where you are going to choose which book template you want.  You can see samples of each "theme".  Know that you are in no way locked into any decision that you make at this point.  I tend to start with a blank canvas for my family year books and am more inclined to pick a more specific theme for smaller books.

2. is where you pick your book shape.  Again, don't stress too much.  You can change your shape later.  It may mean a little layout adjustments but I've done it and it's not too bad.

3.  Once you've made your choices, you can click the "start your book" button!  For the book I made for this post, I did't select anything, I just went straight to the "start your book" button.  It will open your book in  new window on your computer.  

To learn more about your book, you can take the tour option that pops up, or check out one of my other posts.

If you click back to your original window, it will show you the book you just created:



And you started your first book!
