Turn your blog into a book!

At the recommendation of a costume friend, I gave this service, which turns your blog into a book, a try. I wasn't disappointed!

You can get soft or hard cover, choose a cover (and images for the front and back), choose a layout format, choose what blog entry range add a URL, and it generates a table of contents, and your entries! You can choose chronological or reverse chronological order.  It makes the images all the same size, which is ok - they don't take up a ton of room that way, but they're still visible. 

Here are a few shots of my entries from this blog. 

I think next time I'd try the more expensive option of not shrinking the layout and see how much it adds to the price.

I signed up for their referral program, so if anyone is interested in doing this, send me your email address and I'll send you an invite!  padawansguide at gmail dot com

Fresh start!

I've decided to give yet another blogging site a try because I'm to the point where I just don't have time to update static html pages. I need something quick to update, easy to search (hooray for labels), and public.   I'm hoping this will serve as a costume portfolio and I will be better about posting "how-to's".

If this works, what I'll do is update/post costume pics here, and then link to the appropriate label/ or entry from my existing costume site which is: http://costumersguide.com/maggie_costumes/

This blog will be for my own costumes, it's not a costumersguide.com replacement.   :-)

I thought maybe I would make some pages for past costumes, just as an archive of things I've done. And I decided to also add other costume-related things, like vintage or costumey jewelry I've collected, and some of my movie props/costumes, and the few vintage/antiques I have.
