Time Away has forced me to look into my format.
In particular the Social Hop that is done at Midnight on Friday morning. I never particularly liked that time slot, but for some reason I was doing it that way, sheer stubbornness I suppose. The absence because of Hurricane Isaac is giving me the opportunity to change this, so the social hop will be moving to Friday’s during the day my time, so I don’t have to worry if the posts went live. The Facebook and Twitter will be split up and a Giveaway list will be added on Fridays. Posts will go live at 8am CST on Friday mornings.

I was also considering doing away with the DWW – because of lack of participation, but realized I don’t do them for participation, I do them because I like the WOW meme but wanted to include “old” books too, LOL — so that is staying.
Blogging Tips
Since Parajunkee’s View is also becoming Synonymous with Blogging Tips. More Blogging Tips will be featured throughout the week. Daily tips & tricks, HTML and other fun stuff. Book Blogging 101 is by far my most popular post, so I figured that is what people want to get more of. If you think this would detract from The PJV let me know though.
Up-Coming Promotions
Haunted Halloween -
Authors & Bloggers submit stories of their own personal haunting. Guest Post spots are available for October. Please email me if you are interested.
New Ideas are like Candy
Always wanting to open up the Parajunkee’s View arena with more and more fun, I have a few ideas that I am throwing around, so like I did with my Romance Feature, in which Patti swooped in and showed off in her full-of-awesomeness Romance reviews, I figured I would give some other peeps the opportunity to be Junkee Awesome. New flavor of awesome of course. You might already be awesome, but now you can also be branded, Junkee Awesome.
Indie Awareness – Position Available
Into Indie books? Review them for Parajunkee’s View. There are plenty of indie books that need reviewing. Position would be available for any genre of fiction. Cross-genre reading is preferred, instead of niche.
eBook Enthusiast – Position Available
An eBook Junkee? We have those type of books also. We have a lot! Position would be available for any genre of fiction. Cross-genre reading is preferred, instead of niche. But, niche reviewers can be accepted if there is more then one eBook Reviewer.
Freebie Lover – Position Available
Are you a junkee for those Amazon/B&N freebie downloads? Download the books for free and then review them on Parajunkee’s View. Reviews would have to be done in a timely fashion, hopefully with the Freebies still on the freebie list, to raise awareness to their Freebie awesomeness. This would be the more flexible position on the PJV. Reviews since they are quick turnaround would have to be done on an “as available” time-slot.
Associate Reviewer – Position Available
Have books. Will review. The PJV always has an excess of books for review, but in this start-up position I would ask that you have a few reviews already available to post. Once the relationship is established then I will begin giving contacts your address. This position would have to be in the US because of the publisher shipping restrictions.
Teen Reviewer – Position Available
Age 14-17? Want to review? Positions are available for an eBook reviewer that can morph into an everything teen reviewer. My excess is just in eBooks right now. Reviewer will only review YA fiction.
These positions of course are all available, but are subject to change. If you want the position just please know, the reviews you create for Parajunkee’s View can not be posted on another blog, or have already been posted in another medium. Once posted on the PJV you can post your review on sites such as Goodreads.com, Amazon.com etc., but it is asked that you do not post them on your personal blog. Teasers with link backs are acceptable though.

Oh don’t get rid of DWW! I love that feature. While I don’t always get to post each week, or when I do, I sometimes forget to link, I love checking it out. And I love that it’s not just about future books, because I already talk enough about those. I would much rather talk about those books I own that I desperately want to read!
And yay for more tips and tricks and blogger advice. Very, very helpful!
I have to say I love your Blogging 101 posts, they are by far one of my fav posts! I rush to your site everytime I get the email. But I love your other posts too! DWW is one of my favs as well so please don’t get rid of it.
If you do want to stop DWW, you can always join Wishlist Wednesday, which is basically WoW + Old Books: http://www.pentopaperblog.com/2012/09/wishlist-wednesday-53.html
Congratulations, I have nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award! For more details, please visit: http://faeriewriter.wordpress.com/2012/09/14/one-lovely-blog-award/
Thanks everyone!
I love the Blogging 101 posts and don’t think they take away from other posts at all. I still want to hear about awesome books, both old and new (so, yes, DWW)!
I actually skip the DWW posts. I also skip memes such as Teaser Tuesday and Book Boyfriend or whatever on all blogs I follow. It feels juvenile – and that’s just not my thing. I love blogging 101 even if sometimes I forget to post.
