What a timely post! I, too, have a yearbook question. Is anyone out there
using web-based, self-publishing solutions such as Blurb's BookSmart
(blurb.com) or Lulu (lulu.com) to put out t
heir own yearbooks? I've been testing out Blurb, which has great
layouts...but its BookSmart software runs SO slowly - even on a speedy
computer, and seems to be difficult to have multiple contributors on
different machines. Lulu is nice because you can upload your own PDFs from
layouts you create using the layout program of your choice. However, I'm
wondering what else is being used by this esteemed group.

Thanks for your input.
