So in this post, I'll be sharing an interesting thing with you guys. But first, one question: How many of you own a blog? *sees a few hands raised up*

Right, so you and I own a blog, and we love them but the only time we could see them is when we switch on the computer and log into the internet. Some of us may have a backup copy of the blog on our local drive (I have the backups for Wordpress blog emailed to me weekly) but we want more. We want to see the blog as if we're reading a physical diary. Well, tell you what, you can do that.

How?
Well for Blogger/Blogspot, Typepad and Wordpress (both free-hosted and self-hosted) bloggers, you can sign up with Blog2Print.

How does it work?
In a nutshell, you basically submit the link of your blog to the website. The website will obtain the contents of your blog by accessing your blog's feed. Which means, your blog needs to have its feed enabled.

What if my blog is not using any of those blogging platforms?
If your blog is not using Blogger/Blogspot, Typepad and Wordpress, it is still possible to have them printed but you will need to put in extra effort. (Note: this is for these blogging platforms only Israblog, LiveJournal, Movable Type, Posterous, Vox and Yahoo! 360.)
So how do we do it?
First, get an account with Wordpress.com. Once you've done that, access the admin panel(or Dashboard) and click Tools > Import from the sidebar menu. Choose your blogging platform and follow the instructions that come after that. Basically what you are doing is you are importing your blog contents from your blog into your newly-created Wordpress blog.

Once you've done importing the contents (this could take several minutes depending on the size of your contents), then you can go to Blog2Print and upload your blog contents! :)

If you are interested in other blog-to-book publishers, you can check out Pothi, Blurb, Lulu or FeedFabrik. Just make sure that your country is listed in the shipping destination list before signing up with them.

Well, I don’t really think you need a lot of blog to make money online. Unless you pay people to take care of the other blog. I couldn’t be effective with more than one blog at a time. I have so much to do with my current blog that I won’t launch another blog before I reach what I was aiming for.

Hire me to design your blog!

I offer designing and re-designing of Classic Blogger templates. Examples of my design can be found on my portfolio website.

The basic rate for a design starts from $25 USD. The rate is based on the complexity of the design. The more elaborate the design is, the higher the price is.

How to place your order

Send me an email via the contact form and state clearly how you want your design to be. This includes colour scheme, layout (with or without sidebar, number of columns, etc), any extra features, etc.

Your email should be in this format:
Name:
Design: Please give detailed explanation on how you want your template to look like
Preferred payment method: Paypal/Moneybookers/Payza/Bank transfer to Baiduri bank

I shall respond to your email within 3 (three) days. Your order will be placed into a Waiting Queue as orders are processed on a first come, first serve basis.

Payment methods

Payment has to be made to either by PayPal, or Moneybookers.

However, if you choose to pay via (international) bank transfer, be aware that you may be charged for the transfer service.

Other important information

Throughout the designing process, I may need to refer back to you for questions/opinions so do check your email frequently. This is to ensure the design can be done as soon as possible.

Depending on the design, your template make take up to over 1 (one) week to finish. You will be informed once the template is done.

I will send you an email requesting for the payment after the template is done. Once the payment is received, I will email you the complete template along with the necessary files.

All of my designs/templates will come with a credit section. This section must be left intact and you may not remove nor alter them. Resources that come with the designs/templates may not be redistributed or reproduced.

The designer

Kitty

Kitty. 29. Blogger, web design hobbyist, compulsive shopper and bibliophile based in Brunei. Enjoys creating and designing websites, dabbling with HTML, CSS and PHP.

I've been blogging since 2005 (or earlier) though my experience with the internet started back in 2000. My main interest is in web design and development. Other times you can see me wrapped around a book or glued to Astronomy and web design magazines.

The website

This website was created in January 2011 and the domain was purchased by me in late December 2010. Initially the website was intended to house tutorials for Classic Blogger/Blogspot only however over the time it has developed into what you see today.

Several of the tutorials and articles can also be found on Nekonette.com, which is the my main website where I mostly blog about my personal life. Also some of the tutorials here have been moved to that website.
