\"_MG_3367\"<\/a>I have a blog <\/a>devoted to tattoos and body art (in case nobody noticed my mentioning it before, yeah right).\u00a0 I also keep an eye on the blogs that showcase new WordPress plugins.\u00a0 Not long ago, I saw a plugin that purports to turn blog posts into e-book formats.\u00a0 I tried it out.<\/p>\n

It didn’t work properly for me, who knows why.\u00a0 But it got me to thinking that I could just as easily turn those blog posts into an e-book about tattoos without using the plugin.\u00a0 I had kinda-sorta thought about doing that in the past, but it was just another one of those things I never got around to doing.\u00a0 But now I’ve decided to see if I can make it work.\u00a0 I can release it through Smashwords, which did the e-book conversion of my novel Closed Circuit (which you can find here<\/a>, say I, doing my bit to promote a good book any way I can).\u00a0 That site puts books into proper format for all the popular e-readers, plus plain text, PDF and HTML.\u00a0 So there’s something there for everyone.<\/p>\n

I will have to figure out the best way to do it before NaNoWriMo starts in two weeks, though.\u00a0 After that, I won’t have the time.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Have any of you ever turned a blog into a book?\u00a0 Any tips or hints for success?
