Main Image - In this case there is a single image of the model Shania. It is used in a classic way, the face is a big enough to make an impact on the news-stand, with the model making full eye-contact.
Model Credit - This says: 'Shania: So hot.' It is unusual for such a credit to appear on the cover.

Things you can do with Blogger
- With your blog you can do amazing things. For example, Google makes it easy for you to add video to your Google Blogger blog. If you have a digital camera, all you have to do is upload your video to your computer, edit it using the free Movie Maker software on your Windows operating system and upload it to Google Video. You can even upload it right from your blog.
- The new slide show software is fantastic and it’s free. Your photos look more like a slide video than they do a slide show. They include music, voice over and more.

- Do you want to create a map to direct people to your business? If so, Google Maps is the answer. With Google Maps you can create both a map and written directions to your business from anywhere in the world. Once you create your map it’s just a matter of adding it to your blog.
