It was a happy day when my 2009 blog book came a few weeks ago. (I know that I am a year behind...I'm still working on 2010)... I love my book! All of my blog posts and pictures for the whole year are in one book. I find the kids looking through it all the time. I am terrible at writing in a journal, but since I love pictures so much, blogging is a lot easier for me. I did the book through Blurb, and the quality is fantastic. The pictures came out amazing.
A few suggestions if you are interested in making your blog into a book:
* Download your pictures onto your blog in the highest quality...then when it's time to make your book, they are all ready to go.
* Slide shows don't work, because they can't be put into a book.
* After you follow the instructions to get started on Blurb, choose to put your entries in yourself, rather then having Blurb automatically do it. I had it automatically done for my 2008 book and ended up changing almost every page. It's a lot easier to drag and click and arrange your pages the way you want them as you go.
* Have fun! It's a perfect way to enjoy all your family happenings for years to come.
