Blurb your Blog

No I didn't mean burp your blog I really said blurb your blog! HA! Anyway, one of my last summer projects was to print of 1 year of our blog. I started using scrapbook blogger at first but it did not have very many options and I did not like the limitations it was setting on me. Then thanks to Erica she led me to www.blurb.com! Holy cow I didn't know if to thank her or strangler her because this website was awesome but it has so many options that I was like WOW! He He! Just kidding. I am very happy with how my book turned out. You go to the website and download their software and then it "slurps" your blog info into a book form. From there the options are endless. You can make your own formats, choose backgrounds, have many posts on one page, a few posts on one page, lots of pics on one page, lots of writing on one page, a small book, a large book, a hard cover book, and the list goes on and on! Now when you first slurp your blog do not be alarmed because when I first slurped mine it was over 300 pages long but it had some pages where it had only put one picture or one post. So, you have to do a bit of editing. I chose one background for my book to keep it easy and kept some of the layouts that it had after the slurp so I didn't spend too long...maybe the next book!

So, how much does it cost to print your blog for an entire year? Well I guess that depends on how much you blog! He! HE! For me I chose the 12x12 hardcover book that ended up with 110 pages and it was about $90. Now that might sound like a lot but it included 137 posts, over 400 pictures, and lots of great memories!

Anyway, just thought I would pass on the knowledge. Here are some pictures of the book. The pictures are sortof blah because I took them in the office but you get the idea! Check it out! IT ROCKS!
