Lightroom to Blurb upload

I've been trying for 2 months now to upload a book prepared in Lightroom 5 to Blurb.

Everytime I try I receive an error message from Blurb saying an error developed, this is after approx. 30 mins of the upload. I contacted Blurb tech support, but frankly they are useless. All they could come up with was to ask me to export the book as a PDF then send it. If I do that I can get the book through by itself, but not with the covers included as either as part of the book or even separately. Again an error occurs.

Anyone had a similar problem or can suggest a solution as Blurb tech support seem unable to resolve the problem.

I've always used Adoramapix for books, but I know that Blurb is a popular alternative. Take a look at these links. There might be a little thing you're missing.

Thanks Jerry.
I will take a look at those links shortly.
I have to say that I'm an experienced Blurb user, not up to now always produced my books using Blurb software directly. This is my first and probably last attempt at using Lightroom to transfer to Blurb. Simply too many issues. Maybe I'll try Adoramapix next time.

I started my first book with LR but quickly went directly to Adorama. they have very good software, but, like anything else, you have to become familiar with it. They have tutorials.

have you tried using a smaller upload to see if its size or connectivity issue?

Yeh, zigipha, tried that no luck, I believe that it is a Blurb server or connectivity issue. That's why I was just checking to see if anyone else had the same issue.
