Hello! Welcome to day four of the 15-Day Book Blogger Challenge!
Today is all about my book blogging quirks! I am not sure I have any, but let's explore, shall we? I'm sure we'll find a bunch like this! ;o)
I guess I'm particular about being consistent with setups and formats. I always want my posts to be set up the same way. While I totally appreciate the pre-formatted HTML posts for cover reveals and all that, I generally have to do some cleanup. I close up spaces and format the links differently so everything matches my usual posts. It isn't always perfect if I don't have the time because I seriously do adore that someone took the time to make a post for me.
Another thing I'm particular about is the titles of blog posts on other blogs. Sometimes I think they're too long. Only basic info really needs to be in a title, and sometimes I see ones that have all kinds of crazy symbols and punctuation. It's hard to follow I think. But that's me and my quirky brain! ;o)
I also schedule my posts for early in the morning. Usually they go up around 3:00 am my time, which is Arizona time. I figure that's 5-6 on the East Coast depending on the time of year, so it's not too early. People will see it when they wake up. Is that weird? I don't know. Haha!
I'm probably quirky about other things, but I can't thing of anything else right now. Just organization and consistency. I appreciate when things are easy to find. Oh yeah, that reminds me. I think the search feature should be on every blog! LOL.

I schedule mine for early too (8am US Central time.) I can't STAND having a blog post going up in the middle of the day. Makes me feel all discombobulated.
ReplyDeleteWe all have such different quirks -- so interesting to read about. I do have a set formula for how I format my reviews, but I don't fuss if I miss one, etc. It happens and I never reread my posts so I never notice!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about post titles. It doesn't need to extremely long and full of !'s and such. That does drive me crazy when I see it on other blogs.
I really should follow your lead about posting times. I just kinda write 'em and post 'em whenever, unless it's specifically for a blog tour.
