I just published my first book for general access. Where is my spotlight? When I followed the Knowledge Base instructions and clicked on the title in my Project List, nothing happened. According to the instructions, I was supposed to be prompted to build my Spotlight. Help? Thanks.

The new spotlight offers me nothing but unprofessional and embarrassing options AND I can't get rid of it.
While I agree with everybody here on the 'spotlight' being useless - I'm happy to report that you CAN get rid of it:
on the page where you edit/customize the spotlight there is a 'delete' option/button. You get several warnings about this being irreversible (good!) but once you confirm that you want to delete your spotlight, yes, really, please do it, your old storefront comes back to life.
At least mine did, and I'm really happy with that.

Hi Everyone,
You can absolutely delete your Author Spotlight at any time. Deleting your spotlight right now will bring back your Storefront. At the end of the month though, Storefronts are going to be completely removed from the Lulu system and you will not have a Spotlight or a Storefront.
If you don't want a Spotlight, that is completely fine. You will still have your books available in the Lulu marketplace.
If you find yourself with your old Storefront again and want to set up your Spotlight before we finish clearing them out, you can go here. If you wait until we remove Storefront completely and then want a Spotlight, you will have to wait until you create a new book or revise an old book for the option to create one to show up again.
Yes, Author Spotlight lacks some of the functionality that Storefronts had and I totally understand the frustration. I know there are a lot of thoughts on how to improve them in Suggest, look over them and add your Kudos to the ones you like and suggest new ideas on how to improve them. In 2012, we are going to be adding a lot of marketing functionality to Lulu. Some of that functionality will be for Author Spotlight. If you add your ideas to Suggest, I will work with the Product Team to get them heard.
