i made my blog book here last year.
i loved it.
it turned out WAY better than i had even hoped.
well, i heard {around} that they are having "issues."
apparently, since all these sites (blogger, wordpress, etc) are always changing and updating and all, blurb can't figure out how to get our blogs to "slurp" (the word they use for how it pulls your blog into their program).
i emailed them.
here is their response:
"We're going to be working hard to fix all our blog slurpers (including LiveJournal, Wordpress and Blogger slurpers, which currently aren't functioning properly). Unfortunately, we can’t promise success for any given platform, and any fixes that are successfully implemented won’t come until next year (hopefully early 2009). Currently, Typepad is the platform BookSmart can slurp successfully.
We'll be updating http://forums.blurb.com/forums/1 when we've got more information. I do hope that you're able to see your blog-to-book vision through with Blurb in 2009, and sincerely thank you for your patience."
i did a little bit of looking to see if there are other options.
i could only find one.
and i'm not sure it's exactly what i'm looking for.
so, since i loved my book from last year, i'm going to wait and see if they fix the problem.
if anyone else finds out anything else, let us know!
i know, it's so sad.
maybe if we all email them it will {help} them fix it faster ;-)

I was just telling someone about this the other day. I was so bummed! I'm in the same boat... I LOVED my book from last year! It turned out even better than I had hoped it would. Since I was so happy with it, I am hesitant to try somewhere else. Ugh. Hoping, hoping, hoping that they fix the problem soon. Leave me a comment if you hear anything, or if you decide to go another route. So bummed. :(
I am just now catching up on blogs...I am so bummed about this. I was just getting ready to make one too. I will also be looking into this and let you know if I discover something!
