With much prayer and reflection for various reasons I have decided to close down my website, Aussie Book Threads. However as I am getting a few hundred hits a month I'm assuming it is filling a need

So I'm not 'closing' entirely, I'm moving

I'll be presenting the information in a different format on my blog; instead of word tables, I will be posting regular reviews on my blog. Have to say I have been inspired by Kathryn's reviews blog, as I thoroughly enjoy her reviews and have been known to be most excited when my library has said book in its system. An irl friend whose blog is hosted by wordpress, has suggested I keep all my reviews on a second page of my blog. Does blogger have this option? I can't seem to find it

Regards the 'reviews' I would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions, what you would like to see, know about Australian books. Thank you

I just make supplementary blogs then link to them on the sidebar of my main blog.

Looking forward to seeing your new site, Erin!

I did think of that but I didn't want to commit myself to maintaining too many blogs (I already have two). But it may be the way to go.

Do you think (if it can't be done) that blog readers would find book reviews irritating mixed in with normal 'news'?

Would those who come to the blog looking for the reviews only, find it easy enough if they had to click on 'book reviews' in the category sidebar?

Decision, decisions..

Of to check out your sidebar.
