PDF to Book

Importing Blog into InDesign

OK, I’m liking the idea that I can edit in InDesign and upload my book to Blurb now.

But one of the things that was REALLY slick about BookSmart was it’s ability to import a blog.

Not that I need the blog to import with styles and graphics included as it does with BookSmart, but it sure would be nice just to find some way to take my blog and have it import/place inside the InDesign file, and in chronological order like it does in BookSmart, instead of in reverse order like it displays on my blog.

Is there some method to doing this with InDesign. I’m not too knowledgeable about XML, but I can certainly get an XML file exported from my blog if need be….

Any answers to this? I’m interested in the same thing. I found this http://www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2009/07/19/converting-a-blogger-blog-to-indesign-tagged-text/ but it doesn’t seem to be working for me. Help?
