Typepad 101: Turn your blog into a book!
February 04, 2014
Welcome to Typepad 101! Whether you want to add some new features to your blog's design, or simply make your blog more functional, Typepad 101 has you covered. The tip is suitable for bloggers at all levels - no special tricks or upgrades needed.
Although Typepad goes to great lengths to back up your blogs, sometimes you want the security of having a copy of your blog on your computer. You can export your blog posts, pages, and comments any time at Settings > Import/Export. The export is in a format that is easy to import to a new blog, but maybe you want a copy of your blog that mirrors your blog's design and includes all your photos.
If you want a hard copy of your blog to share with your friends and family who don't get their news online, or if you like the idea of having your blog on your bookshelves to flip through any time, you can do that! There are blog to book tools you can use to turn your Typepad blog into a beautiful book filled with your photos and writings.
A couple services we recommend to turn your blog into a book are Blurb and blog2print. Ask about the discounts they offer for Typepad bloggers! By using one of these services, you can design your book featuring all or some of your posts and photos in a soft- or hard-cover book, and the book (or books!) will be delivered to you.
If you simply want a backup copy of all images and other files uploaded to your Typepad account, just let us know! We're happy to do an export of files for you. Just open a help ticket at Help > New Ticket with your request and give us a couple days to complete the export.
