Post Manager Page

The Post Manager page can be used to make large scale edits to your imported blog. I find that it is very helpful to open two Internet windows on my computer at this phase of building my scrapbook. In one window I have the Post Manager page open. In the other window I open my blog. I like to make books for a defined time period. If I am making a book of 1 year of my posts then I go through my blog month by month and quickly click on each post. Then I delete the posts off of the Post Manager page that I do not want to include in my Scrapbook. For example, when making a scrapbook about my daughter I do not include posts about random events unrelated to her.

The Post Manager page also gives you a very rough idea of how many pages your Scrapbook will be. Do not be concerned if you are over the 250 page limit at this point. Many more edits can be made in the Book Editor section. This is especially true if you have lots of photos. I tend to publish lots of pictures about family events on my blog but when I make my scrapbook I will narrow it down to my favorites. The page number will also change as you choose and change layouts.
