A while back, I asked my readers what they would recommend I use to print my blog. It is getting quite long and I'm concerned I could, in fact, lose it all.

Krista at The Silent K, offered this link to Two Peas in a Bucket. I might consider this option since the outcome looks more creative then others I've seen. Thanks Krista!

I also found Blog Printing, from QOOP, Inc., takes your blog from Movable Type, Wordpress, or Typepad and offers the options of black and white, or colour printing, in three different sizes. Printing from Blogger is unavailable at this time. To give you an idea of price:

Black and white books cost $7.50 for the first 28 pages, plus 4 cents per page for additional pages. Color books cost $12.00 for the first 28 pages, plus 30 cents per page for additional pages. If you set up an account to resell your blog, you can specify either a percentage or a flat royalty. Any royalties are added to the base cost of the book.

I'm not personally concerned with royalities, but some bloggers might be able to sell their printed blog if it contains valuable information.

Other options include Lulu.com, Print My Blog.com and Blurb. It's all the name of preservation.

Contributing Editor Karen Rani also blogs at Troll Baby and owns Troll Baby Graphics.

I found an online website that will actually print a book for for about $2.00 a book!

I used them for a magazine and they were pretty good quality. You should check them out. Good Luck!

Hi Karen,

this post is already a few years old, so I'm not sure if this is still relevant, but some friends are just launching a new service to print blogs as nice books:

http://www.bookfabrik.com

They're still in the early stages and so far the service only knows blogger.com blogs, but I know that they're working to include other platforms as well (I think they said Wordpress is one of the next, but not sure about BlogHer).

I'm helping them out a bit so if there is interest in this service on BlogHer, I can push the guys to investigate this platform.

All the best,
patrick!

I found an amazing site that will turn your blog into a scrapbook!! htts://www.scrapbookblogger.com/ ( http://www.scrapbookblogger.com/ )

On this site you can download your blog, pictures and all, and it turns int into a really cute hardback book to keep! It was pretty simple to do. I really liked that I could pick the background and layouts that I liked to make it really look like a colorful, fun scrapbook. I plan on getting several printed as gifts for the grandparents too!

On the Blogprinting.com FAQ page, it says as long as they are in certain formats (jpeg, gif, etc,) then they will in fact, render and print properly.
