This is the blog button I threw together for my weekly feature, What Are You Reading Wednesday.
I don't think I thought the name through though. Doesn't it need a question mark? If so, where?
Please drop by on Wednesdays and tell me what you or your kids are reading!
This is what my blog looked like on Thursday.
This is what it looks like now.
Which is better? I am not sold on the social media icons, I think I need to match my colours better, and the bigger ones were easier to see. I would like a Goodreads social icon as well. I guess that just means it's still a work in progress.
How was Bloggiesta for you? I had a lot of fun and I'm pretty happy with both what I accomplished and my plan for what to do in the future. Ole!
Yay for Pintrest icon! Do Goodreads have an icon? I have one of their widgets, but I haven't seen an icon on anyone elses blog yet either. If you find one let me know.
ReplyDeleteAs for the What are you reading Wednesday button, I think the correct grammar would be 'What are you reading?' Wednesday. But I'm not an English teacher. However, without the question mark and quotation marks looks just fine really, and most people get your point anyway. Your choice I guess.
Wow! All your items crossed off? Way to go! Love the look of your blog. Thanks for your encouragement during bloggiesta :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by...I wonder if being a Round 2 Cybils judge would be more manageable overseas, since there are about ten books to read. I'm moving to Colombia in July, so that is my plan for next year.
ReplyDeletePS. I used to live in Kagoshima and miss hanabi season in Japan!
