I am still a very new blog and I have a hard time not focusing on the number of followers I have, the number of pageviews I have and so forth. I keep telling myself to calm down, but it is so hard sometimes. Thanks for the tips!!Danielle Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208120625169660360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320826799056561174.post-25036080485872606982012-04-19T16:49:03.362-04:002012-04-19T16:49:03.362-04:00Seriously great tips! And I love your new AVI. You...Seriously great tips! And I love your new AVI. You have to make a new button that I can grab!<br /><br />I had no idea I had Captcha on my Blogger blogs until I saw Parajunkee's post the other week. I took it off all. As I'm always signed in, I just never knew. But I hate it. And totally agree everyone should remove it. Especially with the two words that are illegible!<br /><br />I have (on occasion) found it fun to read some of the drama, but when I followed it I found myself angry and exhausted so I stopped looking at any of it whenever possible. And I really don't like reading about authors or bloggers behaving badly. It makes me sad. But I do love it when thieves get called out. At least it stops them (hopefully) from being their behavior.<br /><br />But I do agree, if it's not your fight it's better to let those involved hash it out and always try for a private approach first. If that doesn't work then take it public in as professional a way as possible.<br /><br />Great tips Avery, and I totally agree with all!Fiktshunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427683900301365770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320826799056561174.post-56971530376479308882012-04-17T23:47:40.339-04:002012-04-17T23:47:40.339-04:00Love the tips!

I turned mine off awhile ago and have gotten some spam, but I know how annoying it is so I just leave it off. <a href="http://harleybearbookblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/book-signing-weekly-event-top-ten.html" rel="nofollow">My Top Ten Tuesday</a>@MelissaJoLynn_https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771038635569116950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320826799056561174.post-36677800962962921872012-04-17T15:49:27.435-04:002012-04-17T15:49:27.435-04:00I post every single day and I make sure that it...I post every single day and I make sure that it's something that someone can comment on or start a conversation with... That said, it doesn't mean people actually comment. I don't really make follower count a priority. As long as people visit, I try to have a conversation every time.<br /><br />When I got sick, I took a couple days break.. But I'm so addicted to blogging, I came right back the next day, and I felt better already haha.<br /><br />I tweet my daily post so that's my way of networking.<br /><br />I don't think of myself as a book blogger because I do post a variety, it just so happen that most of them are book-related.<br /><br />Seriously, why don't people get rid of their captcha? It's so annoying.

After I wrote that I was kinda like O.o <br /><br />I think what I meant was when you review a book have more than a sentence book review, especially those ambiguous one sentence book reviews that can be applied to a gazillion other books, "This book war thrilling and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I would highly recommend it."

This year has definitely been a year of drama, I don't remember as much the prior two years but it could be that I was just paying more attention this year. And I've gotten burnt out several times over the course of running the blog, and like you I usually just take a step back and read some non-review books and remember why I love reading so much:)<br /><br />Also, I always have to do captcha like 7 times. I never get it right.

Also, love the "don't burn out" tip. Sometimes I need to give myself a break! We all do! Especially since it's not like we're paid for this! :)<br /><br />GREAT post!<br /><br /><a href="http://yalitwit.blogspot.com/2012/04/top-ten-tuesday-top-ten-tips-for-new.html" rel="nofollow">Check out my Top Ten!</a>Karis Jacobsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18307888090751718656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320826799056561174.post-25486470906458611322012-04-17T03:43:18.480-04:002012-04-17T03:43:18.480-04:00WOW!! this is really so helpful :) thanks for shar...WOW!! this is really so helpful :) thanks for sharingalreem @ (AlreemBookChapters)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18368604527786343456noreply@blogger.com
