Seeded Tunes – Scene and Labels

I created a tree in that style for my friends and associates over on the Coiled Spring site, seen below.I describe the process for manually creating the diagram over on that site, so check it out if you’re curious.

If I Had My Document Way… Official Templates

If I Had My Document Way… …official templates would not be created by the unqualified. That sounds snobby, but if you end up using a template that looks all right, but has all the problems I’ve talked about in these posts, then it becomes a problem for everyone. Don’t delegate it to anyone who has… Continue reading If I Had My Document Way… Official Templates
