Over the holidays I got to spend a lot of time with family of course. We had multiple activities planned and I spent a lot of time playing board games and sitting around just simply enjoying the company of my family and friends. It seems like this year a lot of books were given as gifts. I actually got a John Deere tractors book, since I love tractors, that is basically a coffee table book and this got me thinking about how I could take my families personal blog to a whole new level.

Right now, my family accesses our personal blog by simply visiting it on the web. I normally post things to it like most recent family events, pictures of the family when we get together, pictures of the kids playing or doing funny things and for family members that don’t spend too much time online, they don’t seem to stay up on the blog and what’s happening. So, what if I could make a coffee table book of my blog next year for Christmas and give it to all the family? It would almost be like a blog diary scrap booking type thing and I’m sure that would make my wife happy giving it, as long as it’s “cute” enough.

Anyway, I know I have mentioned the company Bloggled before because they offer blog backup services, but I noticed the other day that they have a new page on their site that states they will soon be offering book blog services, where they can basically take your blog and allow you to turn it into a book and then print it. Here is some material from the page:

Our soon to come Blog to Book tool will allow anyone to customize a book from their blog content. This tool goes hand in hand with the Backup My Blog service that we provide. The Blog to Book tool is in such high demand that we wanted to make it as easy as possible but allow you to be as creative as you want. Our browser base book making tool is the alternative to downloading cumbersome software to your computer.

I guess next Christmas will be easy as I already have everyone’s gift planned out and hopefully the book and blog turn out great this year.
