I believe that videos we include in our posts will be a dark square in the book, but I haven't had that happen with my photos. I wonder if Blog2Print can help you out with that problem. Could it be the size of the photo that's the issue? Hmmm. I'm not sure.Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-44303135272116195652019-01-23T14:47:10.161-08:002019-01-23T14:47:10.161-08:00You're very welcome Dianne!You're very welcome Dianne!

Now it's my tenth year and I have almost an entire shelf of blog books. They come in handy at family parties, reunions, and when I do presentations on genealogy blogging.

After Blog2Print slurped my blog according to the dates I chose, I went through and unchecked the Fab Finds posts so they wouldn't be included in my printed book. It didn't take too long and was worth the effort. :)Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639808443739233405.post-85006573830674306312019-01-12T17:24:53.130-08:002019-01-12T17:24:53.130-08:00I'm sorry about your Mom's passing.

I switched to Blog2Print and haven’t looked back. I don’t need each and every page laid out perfectly. I just want the content of my posts to be in book form. I use breaks between posts and I have been very happy now for 5 years.
