WEEK 14: Website publishing

After we had published our magazines online, we had to do a bit of reasearch on websites that specialized in viewing pdf's online.  While we waited for the hard copies to arrive at SXU, we investigated which websites meet certain requirements for posting and viewing an electronic copy of our pdf's.  The requirements were: a site that hosted PDF's, full screen capabilites, had limited or no adds, was able to view the pdf in 2-page spreads, was public, would never expire and always remain on the website, and most of all, that it was free.  Among the many websites that we found as a class, we discovered many pdf hosting sites, but some had defects or did not meet enough requirements.  MediaFire.com looked great but required payment. I tried freefilehosting.com but it sucked and just seemed like a online storage webstie.  The ones that worked out pretty good for many, or at least for me, were Issuu.com, Youblisher.com, and Scribd.com.  In all three, I was able to upload my pdf's and view them on the web.  Below are the embedded pdf files of all three websites as proof that they work well.
