I have a gallery that is a Project 365: Photo a Day
I have set the theme to 'journal' so I write a bit more than just a caption everyday. It's almost like a blog really.

At the end of the 365 days, I'd like to create a Blurb hardbound book.
I see that Blurb will automatically 'slurp' the photos from my SM gallery (I've gotten that far. -But unless I'm missing something, the journaling is not there.

Blurb has partnered with other companies like Tyepad, Blogger etc. to 'slurp' the photos as well as text into the photo book.

My question is: Is there a way to automatically have my SM captions (in my case, journaling) 'slurped' too?
Thanks,
Dalynn

**I'm using the term 'slurp' because I think that is the term Blurb uses....lol.

    As of right now that functionality is not there, but it would be great if BruceBlurb would put this on the feature request list!

    I'm trying to do this also. Having a hard time finding a website where I can print a book of my smugmug pictures that will include the captions.

    I came back (years later...lol) to report that I FINALLY did get my book(s) printed by Blurb.

    I never found a way to automatically import the captions, but I did a work-around by opening 2 windows side by side and cutting and pasting the text manually.

    Yes, it was a tedious chore....but I finished the book start to finish in less than a week, working on it in my spare time.
