Yes, that'd be a massive book! Luckily, my blog only goes back to 2008. I only printed 2009 and 2010 in this book... I'll go back and do 2008 later.

Oh man I wish I had heard of this sooner. I had a blog from 2004 to 2007 and then my database got corrupted and I lost everything. I had everything from high school to my pregnancy with our son & his birth. I cried when I lost it all. All of those thoughts & emontions are gone. :(

I think I'll do it for my current blog.

How cool is that! I don't blog, but if I did, I would consider it.

It's totally cool. I used to blog for 4 years, but would NEVER print it (it was personal and it would be embarrassing to have it printed), but if I did a generic kind of blog, this would be perfect.

I looked into this a couple of years ago as I'd love to put my blog from 2005-2008 in a book. Did you have any trouble with the formatting? I think that was what my problem was - trying to get the pictures and text to look nice. But things could have changed by now.

Yes, you can do a lot more in the software now. You can even create your own layouts in it and adjust the size of pics and text boxes. :)

Gosh, how sad! That is partly why I got it printed... in case my blog got erased somehow!

I love it! I love your cover!!

I printed a 2004-2007 one (it's HUGE!) and then after that each year is it's own book. I need to make my cover and get my 2010 printed!! I might have to borrow your idea. I always use a picture but I kind of like it without!

I saw that you posted this on FB... it looks amazing! I've never blogged enough or consistently to do something like this... but I just LOVE the idea!!!
