How weird is this? I was just thinking this weekend that my blog isn't interesting enough and lo and behold, the Blog Improvement Project is starting - just what I need!
This week's task is to create a blogging to-do list of what you want to improve. I'm a bit worried about what I should do because I don't think this is ever going to be a really, really impressive blog - I have no graphics capabilities myself, don't want to pay for any or any other bells and whistles, I'm not very technical, and I'm just not a Twitter/Facebook person. But that doesn't mean I can't do some stuff to improve what I've got.
I'd like to:
- make commenting friendlier/easier - I've just put in the word verification because I was getting spam, but I'll try a different route; I also want to try asking more comment-inducing questions
- work on engaging with the book blogging community more - I try to visit other blogs and post comments a lot, but it usually ends up being done in one big rush and then I don't visit many others for a while
- figure out how to add subscribe by e-mail/RSS links
- while this will always be mainly a book blog, try and include other types of posts
- look at improving the sidebars
Hmmmm....I think mainly I need to get my blogging self-confidence up! If you think you're lame, others will, too. :-)

Aw, thanks! You're sweet. :)
Thank you for joining BIP! I think blogging self confidence is one of the most important things. I hope that the BIP improves yours!
It looks like you have a good blog here, so keep up the good work!
