An easy step-by-step guide
Printing your blog with Into Real Pages is a pretty easy and straight-forward process. Most people just go straight at it and figure out how the book editor works in the process of making their book.
For those who do like a nice step-by-step guide to making a blogbook, we have written this article for you!
Assuming that you have already have created an account with us (if not, click here), you will start in your Workspace. Here you will find an overview of all your linked blogs and your created book projects. If you have not created any book, your workspace is empty and you have to add your blog first. After that, you can create a book project from it.
From your workspace, choose to add a new blog. The following popup will appear.
As you can see, there are two blog import methods: the authorized method and the public method. The authorized method usually is the best and safest option and is required if your blog is private. The authorized method is supported for all major blog platforms.
If your blog platform is not supported by the authorized method or if want to create a gift book from someone else's blog, you can use the public import method. Also, in the rare case you run into issues using the authorized method, you can try the public import method too.
