The 15 Day Book Blogger Challenge is hosted by April over on Good Books & Good Wine. You can start the challenge anytime you want, Day 1 is here.
Quick. Write 15 bullet points of things that appeal to you on blogs!
- Discussion posts
- Cover posts
- Drop Down Menus (this is more a design thing but it counts!)
- Book to Movie reviews
- Simple but pretty/fantastical designs with easily legible posts/text
- Blogs that I can easily navigate – search bar, paging through posts, links to other pages like a review archive.
- Multiple ways to follow/subscribe to the blog
- Funny bloggers
- Posts on manga and/or other graphic novels
- The occasional personal post, maybe something that’s done once a week that gives a little insight to the non-book lover part of the blogger.
- If a blogger went to a book related even like an author signing or something big like BEA I always love hearing how it went, what they did and who they saw.
- Features unique to that blog
- Replies to comments - honestly seeing that a blogger responds to their visitors makes me more inclined to leave a comment.
- Tips and Tricks - I love it when a blogger posts about things that I might find helpful.
- Rants - I don't like to write them but I do like to read them. As long as it's not a personal attack I tend to find them funny and quite informative.
Great post! I agree with all of these. One question - do you prefer to see replies to comments on the blogger's blog or by commenting back at the commenter's blog? I've always preferred doing the latter, assuming that most people aren't going to come back to my blog to check if I've replied. Of course I haven't been as good about commenting back lately, but I mean to do better.
ReplyDeleteCan I be greedy and say both? Ok fine, if I leave a comment on someone's blog I would prefer that the blogger visited my blog and replied over there. There are exceptions though like if the commenter asked a question, maybe other commenters would like to see the answer and that's easier to see if you reply to the comment directly. Also sometimes not every commenter has their own blog to receive a reply on so a direct reply would be the only option.
