Today the news is spreading in the WordPress community that we’ve lost Kim Parsell, affectionately known as #wpmom.

I didn’t know Kim well, but as happens we began following each other on Twitter a while back, sharing friendly banter and discussion about WordPress and other topics. Leading up to WCSF 2014 and this year’s community summit, she was one of the first people I noticed to be tweeting with the hashtags, and we met for the first time just a few months ago at those events.

Kim’s contributions to WordPress will be missed, as she was an important member of the documentation team. Sarah remembers how excited Kim was to have received mention in Matt’s State of the Word talk. Her contributions and kindness earned our trust, respect, and appreciation. What she brought to the project will exist for years after her passing.

WordPress is an army, and we mourn the loss of Kim Parsell from our ranks.

So this is neat. I've used Blurb a couple times in the past to make photo books. I used Blurb to print Alcratraz Views. They probably introduced this a while ago but I just became aware that they make it easy to make an Instagram photo book.

They offer an online tool that connects via Instagram's API to access your feed, allowing you to choose which images to include. After picking out your images (up to 240 of them), you can preview how the book will appear, and it's then available for printing on demand either for yourself or for others.

Of note if you're reading this shortly after I write it: save 10% on any Blurb order (or 15% if the order's over $50) with code ROMANCES at checkout.

I've been trying to post at least daily on Instagram (and you'll see those photos also shared here on this site). It might be fun to package up my best shots at some point as a gift book.

Check out Blurb's Instagram photo books and have some fun!
