It does sound like you a...Wow, that is so exciting! It does sound like you are taking on a lot, but if it is something that you love doing then it shouldn't be a problem to make time for it. <br /><br />I know one thing that a lot of people do is they pre-schedule a lot of reviews. You could set aside one day a week to just write a few reviews and then schedule them to post through out the week. And that should be easy for you to do, especially with your meme posts.Bittnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209656083381582559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414065256859181675.post-27472052466994782262012-01-05T17:44:41.396-06:002012-01-05T17:44:41.396-06:00Thanks for the great advice, Jessie Marie!
UPDATE...Thanks for the great advice, Jessie Marie!<br /><br />UPDATE: I have decided to do a new book blog. My husband and I brainstormed for a new name and we found one that wasn't taken! Soon I'll be posting at theoverstuffedbookcase [dot] blogspot [dot] com.<br /><br />Now I'm looking for a new template and my hubby is going to help me with all the behind the scenes web stuff. Woohoo!Andrea @ The Overstuffed Bookcasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09536790368678245670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414065256859181675.post-73124275984436776322012-01-05T15:24:52.678-06:002012-01-05T15:24:52.678-06:00I have asked myself one or all of those questions ...I have asked myself one or all of those questions you asked above, and as a newbie myself, I get where you're coming from. : ) So here's my advice as I'm working through similar issues.<br /><br />Yes, you should go full throttle. If book blogging is something you want to do, then do it! But not half-way. Give it all you can, even with your limited schedule. <br /><br />You can change the blog name AND URL if you want. In the editing and organizing of The Daily Bookmark, my URL changed twice before I finally settled on the one I've got now. A warning, however. If you decide to change the URL make sure all of your links and such adjust. For instance, if you linked somewhere in a post to another post or page, you'll have to fix with the new URL, but that's a quick fix. : )<br /><br />As far as the look and feel of your blog, that's all up to you. There are people out there who will design you a custom blog, but at a price. Or you can go to the several different blog design sites that exist and choose one they have for you. I got mine from <a href="" rel="nofollow">Nymphont</a> and tweeked it just a bit here and there. Just in case you want to have a look at her stuff, I linked it.<br /><br />The good news is this: whatever you decide to do/change/alter/take on, it's totally up to you. It's meant for you and your opinions. <br /><br />Best of luck and I'm excited to see where your blog leads. : )<br /><br />Jessie Marie, fellow newbie<br /><a href="http://the-dailybookmark.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Daily Bookmark</a>Jessie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462067163403845581noreply@blogger.com
