Novelish

Novelish opened on June 2nd, or fifteen days ago. Keeping a blog has been great fun for me - if slightly more effort than I’d anticipated - and I’m starting to make small adjustments:

General updates

• The Read in 2007 page is updated with the latest books I’ve read (I’m up to 40 so far). The links to some of my more recent reviews have been added.
• I cleaned up the blogroll a little. Rest assured, all my favorite sites (and any sites that link back to me) are still there.
• I changed the category pages to show an excerpt of the full post only. Why? Basically, Google was under the impression that they were more important than the individual post pages, and individual posts were showing up as Supplementary Results - and I’m hoping this will fix it.

Social sites

As part of my efforts to promote this blog, I’m experimenting with pages on various social sites. Feel free to have a look via the links below. (And, if you like, add me as a friend on any of these communities that you’re part of.)

• MySpace - I have a layout that matches the Novelish one somewhat. considering it’s MySpace, which is notoriously difficult to design for, I’m happy with how it turned out.
• Flickr - No, there’s nothing here except a screenshot or two and images from previous blog posts. But I plan to make more use of it later on.
• BlogCatalog
• Technorati - If you have an account there and enjoy reading Novelish, please consider adding me to your favorites.
