OMG PRINTABLE BOOK.

So! LiveJournal is partnering with BookSmart; this means that (at long last!) there will be a (hopefully) easy way to publish one's LJ.

http://news.livejournal.com/114780.html

This is done by means of a program you download. You then slurp your LJ, edit it (weed out memes and broken images and entries you'd not want to see in print and the like), upload it, choose how you'd like to have it printed, and order it. See the News post for a discount code (how snazzy).


You must register for a BookSmart account in order to download the software.

Sadly, as the EULA includes statements such as you might expect about intellectual property, pornography, and obscenity, people who write fanfiction should take a very *careful* look at this before choosing to use this to publish stuff that includes fic, and people who write smut may well be out of luck. :( BookSmart staff does reserve the right to review what you plan to print and reject it.

I'm downloading, and I'm going to see if it can take all eight years of my journal. Wish me luck!

[Edit: No, it can't.]

Oooh, nifty! :D (This is the first I've heard of it because for some reason, none of the News posts ever show up for me on my Friends page despite it being on both my Mobile and Default views. D: So I'm glad you posted this! :D )

Weird!

Huh, odd. Do you use the ?show= filters? News is a news-type journal, so that only shows up if you uses show=n. That's all I can think of. I can see the most recent news post on your friends page, for what it's worth.

Aha! That may well be the reason, since I access my Friends page via a bookmark in Firefox. I'm not at home right now and so can't check, but it may well be using a weird URL, and I didn't bother to check the arguments tacked onto it.

Thanks! :D
