You have a Blogger blog, so it should work. I only set my blog to private because the Blurb software doesn't work on self-hosted blogs. I had to export a copy of my blog to Blogger, so then I had two identical sites with different urls. I made the Blogger one private so it wouldn't cause any confusion with visitors or search engines. You shouldn't have to do that. Try contacting blurb.com customer support and explain your problem. They have been very helpful and quick to respond. Hi Diane,

It wont accept my blog name etc. Do I have to set my blog to private first? Do I have to turn off my firewall (which I have tried) So I made my book one page at a time (almost 400 pages) and I lost it!! GONE into cyberspace. I couldnt believe it. I have made eleven books so I know how to use the site...???? Anyway..How do I get Booksmart to allow my blog to slurp. THanks Diane O I have tried numerous times to slurp my blog.
