Fantastic service - so quick. I'm not brilliant at this online stuff, so I probably should have been more specific with the original question. I must say I don't feel comfortable at the thought of giving my password away. Should I contact WordPress Help.

I've used it for a client.

Before we go farther, please give us the URL for your blog. The one attached to your name is not a WordPress.COM blog and we cannot help you with that.

I start the procedure for uploading the blog. I select the blog that I wish to make into a book. It is supposed to pick up all the Posts and Pages. Nothing happens.

No way! Why would any editor need backend access to your blog?

What format do they want the blog in? What is the ebook company? We can probably work out the issue on this end without you handing out your password to people you don't know.
