Anyone published his/her blog?

I am thinking that I would like to publish my blog in a one-year segment, maybe in September which would be the one-year mark for my blogging, or at the end of 2009, which would be a logical cut-off point for a year's worth of blogging (and in my case, a year and three-and-one-half months of blogging).

I've looked into Blurb--I downloaded the software and uploaded my blog contents. I like that I could:

• get a black background for the cover,
• get black backgrounds for the pages,
• have each post on one page,
• edit the content,
• edit the pictures,
• edit the page layout,
• delete text and pictures that no longer seemed so interesting as when I posted it,
• end up with what promised to be a beautiful product.

However, I did not like:

• that not all pictures were usable,
• that the editing worked worse than Shutterfly (and I am still suffering from Post-Christmas-Shutterfly-Photobook-Trauma) so this issue was the kiss of death:

(a) I would lose photos (I don't recall about text) during editing (even Shutterfly did not do this),

(b) there were not enough page templates or not enough suitable to my purposes (worse than Shutterfly), and

(b) it was very time-consuming process to arrange every page (because it was cumbersome,

and every page needed arranging).

.

So after fiddling with it for a while, I deleted the software from my computer.

Next, I tried Blog2Print. I liked that:

• I didn't need to download software in order to create the blog book;
• it uploaded my blog in a sensible format;
• it gave me a quote (gasp) right away as to how much it would cost to print;
• all pictures were (evidently) usable, and
• I could really just upload it on January 1, 2010, and it would be ready to send to the printer right then, no muss, no fuss.

However, I didn't like that:

• I couldn't tweak it (it was how it was, period),
• the photos were a uniformly smallish size,
• my 6-month amount of blogging came to $49.95 for a soft-cover book (so what would my one-year cost be?!),
• the posts sometimes spread to another page with little dangling, partial sentences there (a little pet-peeve of mine),
• the "look" of my blog was just not there,
• the cover looked boring (despite having my header on it), and
• the "style-factor" for the pages and the cover was the book equivalent of sensible shoes.

Have any of you published your blog or experimented with other sites that you could recommend?
