HELLO!! I have a question for those of you out there who, like me, are running a book blog. I'm trying to build mine up and make mine better, but I'm not sure how. I'm using WordPress since it offers the option of posting for free, I've been using this one since February of last year and so I'm not sure I'd want to move, but are there any tips to get it customized to look better?

https://infinitepagesbookreviews.wordpress.com/

LibrarianRyan Add some graphics. Like pictures of the books. Also currently it‘s it‘s just one long scroll. It would be nice if you limited the main page to 5-7 reviews. Then added pages, or guides to find older reviews. Some organize by date, but you could organize by genera. And add the search feature. (edited) 6y
jessinikkip Thanks @LibrarianRyan I have graphics on the posts themselves but I dont know how to make them show on the preview or how to limit how many show on page one 😕 I will do some digging into the customize menu when on the computer 6y
LibrarianJen I could show you (I used to maintain a wordpress site for a thesaurus company) but I don‘t think I can walk you through it via chat. Let me do some digging and see if I can find a good how-to reference. 6y

jessinikkip Thanks @LibrarianJen ! A good how-to on how to do some things would be great! 6y
LibrarianJen Do you have an email address I can send some links to? I can compile some resources tomorrow while I watch the seniors take their finals. 6y
jessinikkip Absolutely @LibrarianJen I can be reached at jpresgraves@ferrum.edu

I'll play around a bit in the “Customize“ menu tonight, but some directed help and resources would be great. Thank you so much for the help!
(edited) 6y
LibrarianJen I haven‘t forgotten that I was going to look for some things for you, I swear!!! It‘s just been so busy at work and home and, I‘m sorry! 6y

sophierayton Hi all, thanks for the welcome. I don't use regular social media sites, but I have a Goodreads account username sophierayton . Tbh, my reviews of books are exactly the same; I write them there first then copy and paste over here. But if you want to see what's on my tbr, what I'm currently reading or have read then feel free to check me out over there as I don't keep up with that stuff as much on here and tend to just post reviews and interact. 6y

Blogging is hard. As much as I love talking about books and movies, I seem to have a hard time writing on my blog. It‘s true I‘m busy with work and other responsibilities. But, we are in charge of how our free time is spent. To that end, I am going to try to write more this year. If interested, please follow my blog by clicking on the link in my bio; if you want emails when I post, click follow. Aiming for weekly. Thanks! #littens❤️

Bookgirl The face has nothing to do with blogging. I‘m just trying to decide where to hang him! 😆 6y
DimeryRene Hi!!! Just followed. I am green light philosophy on Wordpress. Always happy to find someone on Litsy to support. I struggle with my blog as well! I‘m trying to get it off the ground, but don‘t get nearly as much traction as I‘d like. Keep on keeping on!! Look forward to catching up on your work. 6y
Bookgirl @DimeryRene thank you! I would love to follow you back! Maybe we can help keep each other writing...it‘s so hard, even though I like it. That seems weird 😂 6y

For the first time in a long time I felt up to doing some blog maintenance. I woke up today tired of my old banners and backgrounds, and I already really love the new ones. I'll probably work on replacing the other post banners throughout the week as well.

I did a double take when I saw @Quirkybookworm today, bc for so many years I was quirkybookworm on Twitter/IG/etc. (And I still haven‘t gotten around to updating my FB page!)
It‘s been 2 years since I closed my blog, and just in the last month or so I‘ve started missing the long form of it. But I‘m not sure that 2018 is a good year to launch a blog? 😜
But if you wanna visit for nostalgia‘s sake, it‘s www.quirkybookworm.blogspot.com.

Quirkybookworm Oh wow! That‘s so cool! I‘ve always been called weird or quirky and grandfather‘s always called his bookworm so that‘s how I came up with this name. I‘ll be honored to read your blog. Ty!❤️❤️ 6y

Hey littens, as some of you know I started a blog last spring. I was posting regularly, and then stopped to take care of my mom while she was going through chemo. Good news is she's done with treatment and we're waiting on confirmation from the doctor that she's cured. 😍

Second piece of good news is that my blog is going to be up and running again! If you're interested, the link is in my bio. 😊

Hey Litsy friends! I started a book review blog a few weeks back and am looking for more book review blogs to follow. If you have a blog, please comment with the link!

Also, I'd love more Goodreads friends. Please add me. I love seeing the longer reviews! https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/46744515-maygin-reads

I'm trying to get better about posting reviews here, but am struggling to find my place on this app. I'll keep trying though!

MayginReads @Jess7 I tried to add you from the link on you Litsy profile, but it says your account is private 😢 7y

Last last year I decided to start a books blog, and now it's up and running! Meet Bookmarked! As a former journalist turned business analyst (aka hello, technical writing!), I missed more conversational writing. Also, I was tired of hand-writing my book recaps 🙈 so I decided it was time for a blog. I would love it if you could visit! Http://www.bookmarkedbooks.com

Believe it or not, I actually got my review blog up! It's been a long time coming. It features micro-reviews 📚 and wine pairings 🍷 I only have ten reviews up so far, but I will have many more up soon! I'll be getting lots of great bookish #unboxings up as well!

monkeygirlsmama Congrats! I need to get mine going again. I quit reviewing for awhile because just didn't have the time, and then I wanted to start it back up but my connection is spotty where I live. Think it's good enough I can do it now, I just need to stop being lazy. 😜 8y

Slightly off-topic, but do any of you Littens have a recommendation for a good blogging site, specifically for book blogging? I'm looking to get back into the game 💃🏻 I've used Blogger before but didn't know if there was a site out there that's better!

BooksTeasAndBookishThings I do not, but I have considered making my own book blog. Perhaps if some Littens recommend, you could tag me after? 8y
courtney @BooksTeasAndBookishThings I can definitely do that! I know Blogger worked great for me in the past, i just don't have all of the designy tools that I used to in college 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings Haha I have none and I may ask my BFF's Husband to help with all of that, but I have really considered it. So if there is a preferred blog site, that would be a great starting point! Thank you!!! 😊❤️ 8y
LibrarianJen We use Wordpress at work for our blog. It's pretty simple to use. 8y

Resurrecting ye olde blog. It's a dead horse I've repeatedly beaten, but am apparently going back for more. The definition of insanity I believe...
