Blurb Booksmart

The Title sounds like I am going to share some really high tech information, doesn't it?

Well, I may....

I found a website for photobooks that really met all of my needs (trust me, that is hard to do for an avid scrapbooker). I know that there are a lot of services out there now that offer photo book services with prices ranging from fair to one where you would expect each page to be made of gold. Usually, you get what you pay for, but Blurb may be the solution.

Blurb is a photo book building software that you download on your computer to create photo books. You can upload photos to the website and share them with other Blurb members, as you can do with other photo book websites, but you can also take your photos directly from Flickr, Picassa, and SmugMug right into your photobook. You can also seemlesssly integrate photos from your iPhoto library. You can also collaborate on the building of a Groupbook using the Blurg website as a media. How neat is that! This could mean so may different uses for print, both in education and the corporate world. I get excited just thinking of the different possible uses it could have for my high school and the neat projects that you could have-- a collaborative yearbook that it accessible online, history book for class or of the high school, poetry publications, cookbooks for home economics, story books for child pyschology classes...


But for me, the best part was having the freedom of not being held to the pre-set designs and templates, but still have the software to help you easily build a custom book.
