Blurb

I've been thinking a lot about my blog and how I consider it my journal. Up until now I've been printing off my post's and putting them in a binder. The problem is that it takes a lot of time and a lot of ink and I am way behind. I read on my friend Elise's blog about blurb and thought I'd give it a try. Blurb slurp's (their word) your blog into a book. I couldn't believe how easy it was! I chose which entries to keep and edited it down from 200+ pages down to 160 (mostly changeing fonts and getting rid of irrelevent posts). I also added pictures that were not originally on my blog. Over all I am thrilled with how it turned out and can't wait to have a hard copy of my "journal".

Hey Ang--That sounds exactly like what I want to do too. If you don't mind my asking, what did it cost you? I have a feeling mine will end up the length of War & Peace, so I will have to do it in volumes. Just curious if it was going to be cost prohibitive. Thanks! Great idea.

What a great idea! It gives me a whole new way of looking at blogs. Can I take a peak at the finished product when it comes?

This is what I've been planning to do! Can't wait to see how yours turns out! Was it very time consuming to change things around and edit it?

I had heard that Blurb didn't support blogger anymore... it must be a lie, right? That's been my plan from the start too, but I haven't done anything about it yet.
