Print My Blog is wordpress plugin was a good option when I researched how to convert a blog into book format. It’s free and works well, although configuration options are limited.

If you want to print a copy of your entire blog post collection into PDF format only, then this is ideal. The two missing features for me are the ability to choose which blog posts to use (which has since been added as a new feature if you choose a category to print – see comments below), and an optional table of contents at the start of the document.

As an idea, a blog with 314 published posts including images generated a 108.6MB pdf with 1225 pages in it.

Conclusion

This is a really simple plugin to use and worked very well for the blogs I tested it with. If you want more options then Anthologize may be a better option for you.
