So: you need to provide ministry resources?

Skilled Workman Posted on April 12, 2011 by David BergslandApril 12, 2011

Now there is some real help. InDesign has been the best page layout tool for print for over a decade now. I was blessed to be in on the beta team for version one in 1999. I can remember how excited I was that there was finally a software tool I could use fluently that fit the way I think.

Skilled Workman Posted on July 3, 2010 by David BergslandJuly 3, 2010

No, this is not a step by step. It’s a discussion of the realities of dealing with publishing in the second decade of the 21st century.

They are mainly coming from employment at large publishing houses with hundreds or thousands of legacy books—many from before the … Continue reading →

Merry Christmas! & thoughts on the coming year…

Skilled Workman Posted on December 3, 2009 by David BergslandDecember 6, 2009

it’s been a surprising year. I never would have expected to be forced into going into what the government calls retirement. That has been a huge adjustment. For a man, retirement is close to what housewives experience if circumstances keep them from being able to clean their home. it attacks the core of our being. I have been amazed at how much of my self identity is tied up in what I do. On the other hand, … Continue reading →
