  I am trying to use BookSmart to import my wp blog to create a book. It sees my blog, but gets and error message. Please advise! Thanks! Here’s the error message:

  Booksmart received the error message: “HTTPS hostname wrong: should be <steppingthroughbeauty.com>
  Blog url: http://steppingthroughbeauty.wordpress.com/

  I don’t see anything wrong with http://steppingthroughbeauty.com/ maybe the issue is on BookSmart’s end?

  As an alternative, http://www.feedfabrik.com/ should work flawlessly. See this for more info: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/09/07/two-new-apps-for-wordpress-com/

  Thank you very much for your time and helpful suggestion. Feedfabric worked fine! However, I do want to use Blurb, so I would prefer to resolve the error message. As you see, does not make sense…I will call the Godaddy tomorrow…I think they handle the server (?)

  GoDaddy handles the domain, we handle the server.

  The issue is definitely on BookSmart’s end. If they want HTTPS access to the site, that’s not possible on WordPress.com with mapped domains, though you could try giving them https://steppingthroughbeauty.wordpress.com/ instead.

  Thank you. Blurb only asks for my user name, with no other option to input the URL. I may just go ahead and create the Blurb book I want with cut and paste. With appreciation, Robin
