After I posted, it occurred to me that it might be helpful for us to identify who is posting in the post title or using a byline. I added my avatar image to the top so it looks sort of like the old BL posts, doesn’t it? Without identifying the author in the title, it’s a mystery until you get to the bottom!
Once Themis arrives, I’m interested in getting an understanding of what the “project” function can do for us.
It also occurs to me that this format might work really well for buddy reads – much more similar to the old BL feed. If anyone wants to give that a try, let me know and we can see how it works (maybe with one of the Appointment with Agatha October books). I’m read to start Death at the Dolphin anytime. My library hold came through.
I’m also wondering about the Ultimate Book Blogger Plugin. Do I need to create a form to use it, or have we not made it available on this site? I am going to post a book post today. MBD, I think it is worth having available if we can get it for free. If we decide to go this direction, depending on costs, I might also be willing to pay for it.
Which also brings me to financial questions. Is it possible to Venmo you money from the US if we do decide to go this direction? I don’t want you to end up financially on the hook for anything more than nominal expenses. I think we could reasonably expect users to contribute some relatively small amount in order to use whatever we come up with. Mike Finn had some ideas about even creating a non-profit to use to finance it.
Let’s plan to play with this until at least the end of October. I think we’ll have a good idea at that point where the limitations are.
I would also like to bring Wanda in, if no one objects. She uses blogger, and I think it would be good to get some perspective from her on how the two platforms differ. She also posts quite a bit on her blog, and it would be easy for her to cross-post here and see how she likes it. Plus, not gonna lie, I love her food posts!
That’s all for this morning…
Posts without images are boring, so here’s a pic of Gus with his face in the water!
I checked out Dark Roads by Chevy Stevens to fill the square. I’m at about 30%, and I’m not loving it, but I’m not hating it, either. The first section has all focused on the character named Hailey. I reached the second section last night, right before my exhaustion took over and I couldn’t read any more.
