How do I get my artwork purchase, when I pay by credit/debit card or PayPal?

After your credit/debit card or PayPal clears ClickBank.com, which is our credit/debit card/PayPal provider, you will be sent to a web page where you may download a zip file of the artwork. There is a link on the web page that you click to download the zipped artwork. If you have any problems, please email us or call us using the information from our contact page.

How do I make the text smaller or bigger?

Use your browser's text size function found on the menu. On Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x versions, you click on View, then Text Size. Our website uses fonts that are in the middle range and should suffice for all your browsing needs.

Why can't I get my artwork purchase to unzip?

There are a number of reasons for this, but our solution is to deliver your artwork purchase by an alternate means. Usually, email is the best way to do that. Please include the identifying information that you used in your purchase. If you do not do this, then we cannot make an alternate delivery. For example, using credit/debit cards or PayPal, you would give us the ticket number, which is like your receipt number along with your other identifying information. We can make delivery a number of other ways, but we need to discuss that via email. We only provide alternate delivery if your original purchase delivery went wrong somehow. We have never had any delivery problems to this point, but we want to ensure that you are completely satisfied.

How do I become a proofreader?

Basically, you apply via our email form giving us a good email address, your legal name, and your permission to send you a nondisclosure agreement to sign. We will provide further instructions. Proofreaders are not paid except for seeing new artwork before it is published. For further information, please see our Proofreader web page.

How do I get published?

You send us a sample of your artwork. We examine the artwork and get back to you. If your artwork is good enough, then we discuss contracts and publishing. You will be responsible for copyrighting your artwork the Library of Congress, Copyright Office. The USA charges a fee for registering your copyright with the Library of Congress, Copyright Office. There are no other chargers for publishing your artwork, unless you want your artwork publishing project to be completed sooner. Then we will discuss that via email. Published artists get 50% of sales per unit sold less any expenses. Expenses usually are very little to none. Your artwork is published nonexclusively, which means you can continue to market your artwork outside our companies. For more information, please see our Publishing web page. We publish anything electronically publishable, as long as it is not offensive.

Why can't I find an email address on your website?

How do I obtain a copyright?

You can register a copyright per your country's laws. To publish with us, you must go to the Library of Congress, Copyright Office, website. We have limited information on the procedures from other countries. Email us for that information, if we have it. We will not work on your artwork publication, until it is copyrighted at the Library of Congress, Copyright Office though. When you receive copyright information, email us a scan of the document. Some countries like Australia only use the international copyright and intellectual property laws. That states that all you need to do is list the standard copyright line. The link above explains this in some detail. Again to publish with us, the artwork must be registered at the Library of Congress, Copyright Office, as it provides a better means to prosecute copyright violations. Also, by going through this process, we are assured that you are serious about publishing with us.

What's the difference between a check, money order, international money order, PayPal, or credit/debit card order?

A check order takes the longest to make delivery of your order. All checks must be in US dollars. A money order is quicker on delivery and also must be in US dollars. If you are not in the USA, then use an international money order made out in US dollars. Delivery is a bit slower than a money order, since the international money order is being mailed to us outside the USA. The quickest delivery is made when the order is paid via a credit/debit card or PayPal. ClickBank.com provides secure credit/debit card/PayPal services for our website and delivery is made in just minutes. ClickBank.com can take any type of money from dollars to lire. We prefer credit/debit card or PayPal payment, because it is faster and more secure. It is more expensive though. The second best option is a money order or international money order made out in US dollars.

How do I turn off the sound on the Runes of Ao web page?

Any web page with sound on it can be turned off by going near the bottom of the web page and finding a small rectangular musical icon or just plain gray rectangle and right clicking on that rectangle to get to a submenu of options for the sound. Stopping the sound is on that submenu of options. You may also see a typical windows media control strip whereby you can click the stop music button. Depending on your setup, you will get various displays.

Why doesn't your site have a shopping cart?

Most of our customers only order one or two products at a time. So we increase the speed of checking out and the simplicity of operations by not having a shopping cart. We save money and increase security of credit/debit or PayPal sales by having the customer order one product at a time as well. Possibly, in the future we will include a shopping cart for non-credit/debit card or PayPal sales, if customer surveys show the desire for this feature.

Why do most graphics link to somewhere?

Our customer surveys have shown that most surfers enjoy clicking on graphics to go to unknown and wonderful places. There is no rhyme or reason for the links except to provide some bit of fun for our visitors. Most links take you back to the main web page. Many links take you to our guestbook. Yet there might be some surprises as well. So if you want to go for a wild ride of fun, click on some of our linked graphics.

Why does a printout of an artwork or web page come up missing text on the right?

Since we use tables to format text, printouts come out incorrectly. What you need to do is convert the table back to text. If you are unable to do that, please email us, and we can do it for you. You must have the purchase number for an artwork and a good reason for a printout. We evaluate each request on its own merit. Artworks purchased at this site have one printout allowed per artwork.

What happened to NetPublishers and ShafferPublishing.com?

If I sign your guestbook, what might I get in return?

In various places you will see mention of a prize and an award given to those who leave their email and website addresses in the guestbook. We select a certain number of guestbook entries each month to receive the Alien Abduction Awards and a free artwork from AlphaOmega Bookstore & Publisher. We select those entries that have entered a valid email address, a website address that contains an awards section, and quality answers to our questions as well as interesting and fun comments. We need an email address to send the award and prize. We need a website address to ensure there is a place to display the award. The information is not retained for anything beyond the original purpose. Unfortunately, we cannot do this for more than five or six guestbook signings per month. So please make your guestbook entries accurately plus provide answers to our questions and write comments that will attract our attention.

How come you don't call me back, after I leave voice mail?

In most cases, you had the ability to talk to us through email. If you don't have email or you have a concern that can only be addressed by voice, then we will return your voice call. Certain customer service issues will always be addressed by voice. For those inquiring about being published, email us. For those with a business proposal, email us. Most other requests require that you email us. We keep our operating costs down by limiting our telephone calls as well as other means. Please email us. Our email link is below. The email link is on every web page.

Why do I get this copyright notice in place of graphics?

All graphics are protected by copyright software. You may not directly link to any of our graphics. If you get this notice while browsing our website, that happens on rare occasions. The reason is tied to the settings on your firewall. You can adjust the settings on your firewall to allow our domain to display graphics correctly. You may email us for assistance if needed.

46And Mary said: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord47and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour;48because he has looked upon the humiliation of his servant. Yes, from now onwards all generations will call me blessed,49for the Almighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name,50and his faithful love extends age after age to those who fear him.51He has used the power of his arm, he has routed the arrogant of heart.52He has pulled down princes from their thrones and raised high the lowly.53He has filled the starving with good things, sent the rich away empty.54He has come to the help of Israel his servant, mindful of his faithful love55—according to the promise he made to our ancestors—of his mercy to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.
The New Jerusalem Bible: Reader’s Edition, (New York: Doubleday.) 1990.
