Blog entry: http://blog.feedbooks.com/?p=13

It's about using a blog + Feedbooks to publish your own work.

If you’d like to publish a book this way:

1. Create a generic blog (using Blogger)
2. Publish the chapters on the blog
3. Copy the URI of the RSS Feed and paste it on the News Section of Feedbooks
4. Add a link to your file on the blog
5. (Optional) If you want to have the book both in reverse and correct order, you can use Yahoo Pipes. Create a new pipe with your RSS feed in the “Fetch Feed” element, connect it to a “Sort” element (it’s in Operators) and sort your feed by item.pubdate. Once it’s connected to the output, you can use the RSS output for this pipe on Feedbooks and add another link on your blog.

This is a pretty basic way to generate files for your own book. We’re already working on more advanced formatting and features, using our own XML format. We’ll create a custom version of a popular blog (Wordpress or Dotclear I guess) for this and open our API too. If you’re already publishing your own book using your blog or your website, and would like to beta-test this feature, send me an email at hadrien.gardeur [at] feedbooks.com .
