So I have been trying to put together my Blog Book in the last month, but what feels like FOREVER!!. Not as simple as it first sounded. But I am determined. From now on there won't be as much text, and the slide shows are out. And I am going to blog more frequently. And Give more detail.
I am excited to see the finished product, and as I read back I am very glad that I have done it. It will be weird that one day this will be in the Blog Book.
I have downloaded a program(from Blurb.com, I have found other places out there to make our own book, but I started with this, so I will finish with this!!), and then you download your blog text and pictures, and then you manually add them to each Page. It is slow going. But I have a plan to make the next one go much easier.
So if anyone is planning on making thier Blog into a Book, I would suggest starting now, so You can figure out how to fine tune your posts to make it easier in the end.
Back to the Grind...

I was starting to dread a project I want to start and was getting overwhelmed on HOW but you've just given me the answer I have been searching for, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I have a friend here who is just getting going on a blog book herself, I think they sound very cool. I just got asked to teach the relief socitey lesson this sunday and it is on journaling. I just printed off my blog and am going to put it in a pretty binder. I admire your dedication, i would like to see it when your done. I love the sounds of them.
Anne, I am a lurker on your blog...hope that's okay. We sort of new each other in Winnipeg so I'm not a completely random stranger. Anywho, I just wanted you to know that I've had 2 Blurb books published and they turned out awesome, I was really pleased with the quality. Good for you, I'm sure you'll be happy with it!
Kirsten- I have a confession! I am a lurker on your blog too!!!
Thanks for the info on the book, I was starting to worry as it is taking a lot of work!! I needed to hear that!!
That sounds really cool, and I would like to do that...but I love my widgets too much, music, videos and pictures...
Melanie!!! you and your blog lingo!!!
Awesome idea Anne! I need to do this too, there are so many things I blogged about only a year ago that I completely forgot about, and re reading them is fun. This is the only way I will ever journal, so I should really make sure and do this too.
