Since 2011, BlookUp always offered one unique type of cover, cardboard-made, soft and glossy, in order to bind all the pages of your digital life and keep them warm and sheltered for as long as possible.

Now, let’s move on to the top gear: Please welcome Hardcovers!

Ooooh that’s pretty

How can I get my Hardcover?

Go to your account or create a brand new blook from scratch, and select the hardcover option while customizing it!

The option is, for now, only available for:

  • Blogs Books
  • Facebook Books

We know thanks to you that the choice of the cover was just as essential as the choice of your contents, and that some writings deserved to be presented in a different way in order to be truly unique and personalized.

Softcovers were well-adapted for thin and simple books, but beginning now, hardcovers will give your contents a solemn and solid flair, like several volumes of an encyclopedia!

Hardcovers? Pure joy, we can assure you!

BlookUp: Blog, Medias, frequency, news and THANK YOU!

Posted on by Team Blookup

At the end of 2016, we gave you informations about BlookUp‘s blogging and social networking activities. Today, we – already- have to update you on the situation!

THANK YOU !

thanks-follow-blog

In the first place (yes, we start the article by the last element of our title, like some kind of blog punks), we would like to thank you from the bottom of our heart for your growing support, your shares, your commitment…

In 2017, significant subscriptions goals have been reached for all our communication platforms, and that is obviously thanks to you!

WORDPRESS

logo-wordpress-blueGOAL REACHED: 5,000 SUBSCRIBERS

The blog is still there, in French (here) and in English (here. Like, no, really, no need to click, you’re already there 😉 ), but as some have noticed, our publication rhythm has kind of declined; No more publications on Tuesdays and Fridays but don’t panic, we explain why!

The first reason to this is simply our desire to propose a unique rendez-vous, every Wednesday, in order to make every article more  like a weekly celebrity coming to sign autographs at a given time. Punctuality is key!

The second reason is also quite simple, and that’s…

tumblr-logo

Tumblr is the latest active network of BlookUp. This microblogging platform will be ideal to share with you the daily life of our startup!

Our Tumblr will be more like a Facebook page, a Twitter or an Instagram account, with a freer and more casual tone. The publications are to be short but more numerous, and this is why WordPress articles, longer and therefore more demanding in terms of research and writing, will be posted once a week to ensure their quality!

That being said, if you have a Tumblr account (or if you are just curious!), Subscribe to this new blog and enter the daily BlookUp life, joys, pains, environment, team… And much more!

SOCIAL NETWORKS

REACHED GOAL: 1,200 FOLLOWERS

There are also some changes on the social networks side, which regularly relay each publication from the WordPress blog (and soon Tumblr), and had a fairly fixed number of publications per day… Now we blow up the locks, get free, and we post, we share, we react live!

We are as well increasing the emphasis on mages… For the pure pleasure of the eyes!

QUESTIONING THE INDEX…

blook-example-table-of-contentsNot everyone needs a table of content in his or her blook, and we have been asked several times to make this feature optional, or to have the possibility to place the index at the beginning of the book instead of the end.

Weel, starting today, choose to keep your index or not, and to place it before or after your main content!choice-table-of-contents

How to keep your blooks longer: Update!

Posted on by Team Blookup

A more flexible archiving system!

a hand taking a book out of a digital library

Your feedback is always valuable to us and thanks to it, we understood that for our users, creating a blook project is a long-term project. The creation of a book is quick in itself, but the most important is its personalization: You want your blook to be unique, and we can only agree with that!

This personal touch, you want to be able to bring it at your own pace, without feeling rushed.

Thus, in order to avoid the loss of books carefully layouted by our users, our archiving system has been revised!

Non-Ordered Blooks

  • Will be deleted only the blooks that reached the 3 months (90 days) limit without being edited
  • Any modification (new cover, change of title, modified article, etc) will restart the 3 months period from the date of the modification
  • The date of last modification is displayed in the blook’s informations, alongside the creation date.

Ordered Blooks

  • Blooks ordered at least once are always kept for 3 years and are definitively deleted after this period if they have not been ordered again
  • Any new order of a blook will restart the 3 years period from the date of the last order
  • The date of the last order is displayed in the blook’s informations, alongside the creation date

How to save your already created book Click on the image to see what’s new in your account!

___________________________________

We will continue to send an automatic mail 7 days before the suppression of the blooks in order to warn you of the remaining time and ask you to modify your book if you wish to keep it longer!

So if you have a blook project waiting on BlookUp, the time to save it is now!

The book of your Facebook: Choose your Content!

Posted on by Team Blookup

A few months ago, we asked you to share your thoughts about our new product, the book of Facebook, and your opinion really mattered to us!

Our inquiry pointed out that for our users, one of the main key points to a well-done Facebook book was to be able to select the types of content that truly reflected their social adventure. Today with BlookUp, you are the only one to decide what you want to keep from your profile, administrated page or favorite Fan page!

Are you a photography master? Choose to keep only your albums! Do you usually write long, motivating tirades? Choose to transform your publications into a book worthy of the name!

A book with Facebook content

How do I choose the contents I want?

Create a new blook or edit a Facebook book that you already began a few days / weeks / months ago. Then go to the 2nd step of the customization process!

Here you’ll find again the usual layout choices (2 or 3 columns). As well as the possibility to reduce your publication interval in order to better target your contents (within the interval that you already chose during Step 1) and the possibility to choose them properly!

choice-contents-fb-book

You can select one or more type·s of content, and decide whether to keep the index or not!

If you chose the option “Import Comment” in step 1 but are having second thoughts and rather remove them. You just have to set the “maximum comments” on 0.

Warning ! The maximum comments you can get depend on the popularity of the page or profile you are trying to import. You can therefore vary from blook to blook!

So, are you ready to personalize the book of your favorite social network with BlookUp?

Chose your best content!

John Davis with his Facebook Blook

Facebook pages ! We talked about it at the end of last month: BlookUp has finally developed a new book exclusively made for Facebook, made to make the most out of your profiles!

But … There was something missing, wasn’t there?

FACEBOOK PAGES!

Of course !

You may have tried to import your profile, but the rendering seemed too messy after all these years of various publications? Or were all these contents finally too personal to be edited and you’d rather not try this adventure?

On the other hand, you have a Facebook page. An “official” profile, organized, thematic, full of fascinating thoughts and works that you really want to turn into a paper book and share around you?
