Abstract
A computer system for creating a design for a photo product includes servers that can identify a blog page that includes an image, text, or designs, automatically incorporate at least one of the image, text, or the design object in the blog page into the design of a photo product, and allow a user to review the design of the photo product. The servers communicate with a printing finishing facility that makes a physical photo product according to the design of the photo product.

A method for creating a photo product, comprising:
- identifying, by an intelligence analysis server, images on one or more blog pages at a web site which are published by a blog application server, wherein the intelligence analysis server and the blog application server are both coupled with a photo product engine;
- obtaining, by the intelligence analysis server, numbers of likes, or comments, or a combination thereof received on the images published by the blog application server;
- automatically incorporating, by the photo product engine, at least one of the images published by the blog application server, into a layout of the photo product to create a design of the photo product based on a significance score that is calculated based on the number of likes, or comments, or a combination thereof;
- allowing the design of the photo product created by the photo product engine to be reviewed;
- sending the design of the photo product from the photo product engine to a printing finishing facility;
- and
- manufacturing a physical photo product by the printing finishing facility according to the design of the photo product.
