For the record...

I don't know about you, but my journal writing has plummeted since I entered the blogging world. I used to be pretty good, but this is so much funner. So...I was thrilled to find a couple of options online for printing my blog so that it can be used as my journal. I think my posterity will learn more about us by reading it than my usual chronological journal entries.

I've found two options. One is Scrapbook Blogger. This option makes it into a scrapbook like book with cutsey pages etc. I was a little frustrated because I couldn't get the pictures to format the way I wanted, but it does look cute. The one I used was Blog2Print. This prints it in a more journal like format, just entry after entry. The formatting isn't always perfect, for example occasionally a date will end up at the bottom of one page with the entry on the next page. It is more like my journal though and I was pleased with the finished product (so was Phil, see below.) Just thought I'd share...

I totally want to do this, I have seen people who have done blurb. I even downloaded the softare, but I know it will be a project, so I have put off even starting, but I know if I did it, it would totally be worth it.

The one I did took no work at all, you just download right from your blog, choose a cover then you're done. It's just not as cute...

Thanks, Jennie! I'd heard about this, but no one had filled me in on the websites yet. Thank you so much for posting them! I'll have to do it.

Awesome. I have been meaning to print my blog for about 8 months now. One of these days....
