Re-Posting: Review Posting Tips on Booklikes

 Just some things I've found useful posting my reviews.  Brief explanations follow with more detailed how-to's with screenshots when you click "read more."

 

  • Change the "Post date" field to be the date read to avoid flooding the dashboard feed (and your own blog page and timelines) with hundreds or thousands of reviews being moved over from other book sites.

 

  • Put a unique tag on your reviews so you can find them; for example, I'm adding a "Reviews from Spurts" tag (apostrophes and other punctuation can cause issues).

  • If you want to see all your reviews in one place — that's just searching by that unique tag or adding a page to your blog that redirects (substitute your own unique search tag for my "reviews from spurts").
  • Easiest to explain by looking at screenshots which follow or seeing what this link shows http://booklikes.com/dashboard?tag=Reviews from Spurts (again replace "Reviews from Spurts" with your chosen tag).
  • I also made that a menu option (page) to click -  All My Reviews - on side menu/navigation options on my blog view at http://:www.donealrice.booklikes.com .* Also easier to see  in screenshots or by clicking links than to explain.

Did You Know... that currently reblogging a review post creates another review/rating on the book page?

 Did you know that currently every time a member's book review post is reblogged, another copy of review and the star ratings gets added to the book page credited to the reblogger?  Then another if someone else reblogs the reblog of the original and on down the line?  (No, that's not a how-to for authors wanting to game the system; just an explanation of why there are posts and reviews going around asking that reviews not get reblogged).

 

Plus any comments on the review are not seen by the reviewer unless you click all the reblog links back thru to the original reviewer before making a comment?  And that on your blog page it looks as if you wrote the review (until the small "reblogged from" line at bottom is spotted which may denote just whoever it was reblogged from or may be the original reviewer)?  

 

Likely in the booklikes to do list but currently an odd issue.
