The What? When? Where? Why? and How? of Challenges

I’ve been thinking a lot about challenges in the book blogging community.  At some point, I may want to host a challenge, so I’m curious about preferences in the book blogging community when it comes to challenges. Continue reading »

Blogging and Copyright

In reading the Poetry Friday website, I came across some significant pointers about honoring copyright on the web.

• Mitali at mitali’s fire escape reviews some basic ways to honor copyright when posting poetry for Poetry Friday.
• She links to a great article called Websites: Five Ways to Stay Out of Trouble.

While I’ve taken care to avoid breaking copyright in terms of text, I hadn’t put much thought to the photos (oops!). All book covers come from my Amazon store, which has proven in court to be acceptable. As for the authors’ photos from weekly geeks the other day, I realize now that those that I got off Google search are breaking copyright, so I’ll take those down. I’ll also keep image copyright in mind as I blog in the future.

The main thing that stood out to me was this: probably, no one is going to come after me if I do post copyrighted photos. However, the more readers I have, the more likely someone will notice. I want more readers, so I won’t tempt fate!

Am I the only one who didn’t even think of this? What are your thoughts about copyright on your personal blog?

Blogging as Storytelling and Blogging Tips from an Unprofessional

Dewey at Weekly Geeks asked us what other forms of storytelling we enjoy. I certainly love reading books, stories, poems, nonfiction, etc. Some people are discussing theater and that is certainly on my list: the performance of great literature. I’ve never been a fan of television (we don’t even have one right now), and I don’t usually enjoy movies.

In a world besides books, however, I think the story telling I would rely on is blogging. Continue reading »

Book Blogging Community

Dewey has encouraged us to share reviews. If you have a review of a book that I’ve reviewed, leave a comment with a link to it. Also, if I don’t have your website in my blog roll of Readers, leave me a comment. I’ll add you!
