Boring administrative-y matters

You've probably all thought of this already, but just to be obvious:

What to review: anything that you'd like everyone else to know about. There's no point in reviewing something like the Lord of the Rings unless you thought it was horrid and want to warn everyone off (which would be pointless in this case since everyone's read it). Equally, there's no point in reviewing something completely obscure unless you think we should hunt it out and read it. If we're interested in discussing books, rather than reviewing them, we could put 'discussion' in the title and the tags (and remember to do spoiler alerts).

That brings me to tags: It'd be good if everyone could tag their reviews as they write them - someone else will do them if you don't, but not as well. Have a look at the tags that are already there, or make some up. It'll become useful if we end up with fifty reviews and don't want to look over all of them to find something to read.

You all have admin privileges, so go ahead and use them - in particular, you can get the blog to email you about comments (and possibly about posts, although I haven't figured that setting out yet), and add your own web comics ;) and blogs to the list of our sites. (Update: if you want the blog to email you when a new post is put up, either do it yourself under Settings-> Email and add your address, or let me know and I'll do it).

If someone's already reviewed something you wanted to write about, don't be put off - you can add a comment to their review. If you have a lot to write, and the original author doesn't mind, you could always add it to the end of their review - do mention who you are, though, and remember we won't know the review has been updated. The best thing to do might be to write another review, and add the book title to the tags of both reviews, so that we know there's another one.

When you review a book of which you are fortunate enough to possess a copy, and feel generous enough to let someone else read it, you could mention that in your post, and also whether it's in Christchurch or Wellington (or wherever else you happen to be).

Any other suggestions?
