Hi everyone, I've been using Blogspot for about 6 years to blog my travels. I haven't updated my iPad and iPhone to iOS11 because it doesn't support Blogspot. I would like to somehow make a hard copy book from the blog for each trip. I have no idea how to go about this because I am not really very tech savvy. I would welcome any advice and suggestions.
Thanks!

I use Shutterfly to make hard cover books from my trip. However, I don't do it from a blog, I do it when I return home and have selected and edited my pics. However, you can set up a blog on Shutterfly (free) and put pics on it. When you are ready, you can then "upload" pics to your book right from your free Shutterfly site (and perhaps others, I don't know about that.) They book can "auto arrange" pics for you or let you do it yourself. I am fairly interested in creating (IMHO) a good final product so do it manually. PS: just checked, you can also add photos from Facebook, Instagram, Flickr and Google Photos.

Some of these photo book companies are not well set for a lot of text. It requires a lot of copy and past into the framework of a text block. Fussy.
However, I did a google search of 'converting blog to book' and there are several sites that do that. Blurb also has that capacity.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I thought about Shutterfly, though I don't know that much about it. My blog is mostly text, with some photos. If I have to recreate my blog it will take a lot of work. I only blog international trips, but they tend to be long trips with almost daily posts. Any other suggestions?

Great idea to do that Andrea. I didn't realize the change, so I might want to work on the same project. Could you use any one of the photo book publishers and just copy and paste it?
I know I've had photos taken from my blog and other people have published them, giving credit to me, I think. They include our daughter so I know they are mine! So, obviously you can move those photos, too, but text should be easy.

Or....and maybe not as good, but you could take a photo of the blog and then make a book from those photos?
