Volume III is here.
I used Blog 2 Print again. I had a lot of comments and questions about this so I felt like it needed its own post. You may or may not remember that I had started making my blog into a book. I got a Groupon for a photo book and spend a good amount of time setting it up. This first book covered the first 6 months of my blog. Results were mediocre. Good enough for what I wanted, but so not worth the hassle. I thought I had heard about a service for this so I googled,"making your blog into a book" and found blog 2 print. Tried it out and it worked great. I did the next 6 months and it took little while to get the parameters right, but after 30 minutes, I ordered my book.
I have 2 complaints about this. One, that there is no easy way to include the comments. Maybe there is an easy way, but I couldn't figure it out. Two, the picture quality isn't all that good. That might be my fault, because in the past I have used photobucket for my pictures. However, again, 30 minutes. $30. I can deal with that.
So, my plan was to maybe finish a new book every month or so, but wouldn't you know, blog 2 print sent me a 15% off coupon. I thought with this coupon, I would do a whole year. Set it all up and the cost was.....$130. Wow, really? Yes, really! So, we will stick with the 6 month increments for now. Hopefully they will send me another coupon in the next month...
