Bloggy Book!

Have you ever thought about having a hard copy of your blog entries? I never did until I read Our Feet Are the Same's blog entry about her husband giving her a bound copy of her blog entries for her birthday.

How cool is that?

Interested? I sure am.

It is not inexpensive, but not super outrageous. You have to enter in your blog address and then there are a few options regarding the cover color, adding a photo to the cover, and writing an inscription. Then you click and just wait a few minutes while it turns your blog into a book. You are able to view all the pages online and then choose if you want to order an electronic pdf copy for $2.95 or if you want to order a more expensive soft cover book or hardcover book. The price for mine was about $60 for the softcover and $70 for the hardcover, but the pricing is dependent on the number of pages.

A 20-page softcover Blog Book is just $14.95 -
Hardcover only $24.95. And extra pages are only 35 cents!

I did not actually order mine because I was thinking it would be cool to wait until my blogoversary which is coming up in August and then publish a whole year of blogging posts. You can also choose whether or not to include the comments that people made.

The only problem I ran into initially was that there was a feed setting that was preventing access, however when I changed the feed setting to "full" the site was then able to make the book. (Click on customize, then settings, site feed, and choose full in the drop down.)

I will definitely do this for the entries on my TeamToppel blog which will be a journal of our adventures living abroad in Germany for a few years and I think it will be cool to do for this blog as well so I can look back on my reflections of teaching and making new blog friends!
