Some of you were asking about printing your blog into a book, as I mentioned NOT doing earlier. So I've been doing a little homework for you. The site that I like the looks of the best is blurb.com . From what I understand, you download their free software and it "slurps" (their word, not mine!) up your blog. You can choose which posts you want to use, plus there are tons of layout and editing options for both your text and photos. I watched some tutorials and it looks easy enough. It isn't even insanely expensive. Depending on how many pages you have a softcover book starts at $20, and a hardcover is only $30. Shipping is around $8. I'm totally going to do it... as soon as I have something worth printing, anyway!
Has anybody ever printed their blog before? Know of any other good websites?

Sorry about your blog. I have not made me a book yet but have wanted to. I have been told that blurb.com books turn out really nice. I don't know of any other websites besides this one.
Fun ice fishing pics. You guys look like you had a lot of fun!
My friend did a book from blurb.com and I saw it personally and loved it! It looks really nice. I'd recommend the extra $10 to get the hard back. I ordered some books from picaboo for Christmas that I made, and the soft cover were just card stock covers. Which, I thought would probably not withstand the test of time like a hard back would. I am totally making a book! I'm going to blurb.com right now. I'll let you know the results!
Yes, your fishing pics look awesome! So fun! And, no, I've never seen a banana trout and I fished a lot as a child. That's pretty cool.
Thank you so much for posting this. I had heard awhile back from my sister who had heard from her neighbor who had heard from her friend who had heard from her sister-in-law who had heard from her school teacher who had heard from her dog that it was possible to make a book from your blog. Well based on that line of communication I didn't think much of it. Then you said what you said and I realized if two people have heard of it then it must be true. :) Anyways..I am going to blurb.com right now. Thanks so much!
SOOOO glad you sent me an comment to let me know where you guys were! :) But sad that you lost your blog. :( That is pretty much the extent of my knowledge of emoticons. Hmm...maybe I'll do a blog post about that one of these days...
Anyway! Sounds like you guys have been having fun ice fishing (you crazy people) and whatnot. I'll update my blog soon so you can see what craziness has been happening in our neck of the woods as well. Keep up the good bloggin' work!
