ONE WORD WEDNESDAY and Blog2Print

HELPING




FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
Yesterday several of you expressed an interest in printing your blogs.
Being helpful creatures we thought we'd share some tips and a picture of
a few pages out of one of our books.
Each of the volumes are about $35.00 a piece. Which isn't bad considering all the work I put in them. If I wanted I could spend over $100. on each. I keep the cost down by doing the following:
1.  I don't print comments..which is a bummer but it can add hundreds of pages to the book
2. I don't print page breaks, they just flow page to page.  Having each post on separate pages adds up too
3. I print the book in black and white rather than color and I order laminated paper covers.
4. Blog2Print can only load 1500 photos at a time.  When I printed volume 1, I was going to print over a year.  I got a warning we can only print 1500 pictures at a time.  Blew my mind...then I decreased the dates by about 4 months.

One thing I do print extra is a content that helps when you are looking up a particular post.

    You're quite the helper, Madi. We just think those blog2print books are pawsome!
    Have a happy Wednesday. XOXO from your bestest mancat, Prancer Pie.

    Madi, you are one good looking helper.
    The Blog2Print books are wonderful. Mama has been looking at them but hesitated because of the cost. Thanks for the tips in keeping the costs down.

    Purrs,

    PS, Mama has a cat event tomorrow so you might not see her tomorrow night.

    Madi...Glad you have things under control. That is super interesting about the books. Very reasonably priced, thanks to your tips. I am going to check it out, especially because I use my blog like a diary, so I love the idea of having it for future generations.

    Thanks for the tips. I did a hardback colour book using BLog2Print for Hamish's blog, and it was a lot more expensive than the figure you quote, but lovely to have. It sits on my bookshelf alongside my hardbound copy of my PhD thesis, both were written over more or less the same time period! One was a lot more fun to write than the other...
    Cheers, Gail.

    I tried Blogs2Print and found I would prefer Office Depot. I like their binding choices and dollars cheaper. I did about 400 pages in my genealogy book, with color photos on some and black and white on others...each page is ONE photo [that way they're quite readable and larger than Blog2Print] and laminated covers....Office Depot gives me more choices like I said. Each page printed is only 4 cents a page when more than 100. Of course you can go for the more expensive paper, etc. But my 428 pages with laminated cover and spiral binding was $30!!!

    By the way, the image storage for your header is acting very erratic, and I'm thinking it's time to move them. Email me when you have time!!! Por Favor!!

    Your dad is lucky to have you help him balance his check book or pay the bills. We may have to think about doing one of those books sometime too.

    Madi, I think you may be the one who shared this information last year and I am so glad you did because I ordered my book at the end of the year and it is so nice. I am looking forward to getting another one this year because I have come to see my blog as a scrapbook with lots of pics of our family. Thanks a bunch!

    Wow Madi that was some great information.
    Momma said we are coming up on our 8th year of nearly everyday publishing.
    I think Momma should have considered doing this earlier.
