 Book and Film Blogs

Hi everyone!
I've been working on a number of new features for ARWZ, some of which you may have noticed, such as the RSS feeds. We now have an overall ARWZ RSS feed, through which you can subscribe to ARWZ and get updates on all new articles and announcements (ARWZ Feed), and we also have an RSS feed for the forums (Forum Feed).
I'd also like to give you folks a more prominent platform here on ARWZ. I'd like to start a section of member blogs where you folks can keep us updated on the books you're reading and films/tv you're watching. These blogs will be hosted here on the forums and they'll give you an opportunity to post informally about your reading and viewing habits in a way that won't get lost in the shuffle of the main forums. I'm also hoping to be able to syndicate these blogs individually with RSS feeds, but that will take a little more time and coding-self-education on my part.
I'd like to invite all regular members to volunteer to keep a blog on ARWZ. You're the lifeblood of this page, after all, and we'd like to give you a more visible role here on ARWZ.
If you'd be interested in blogging on ARWZ, please respond to this topic and let me know (or email me at [email protected]).

As a notoriously slow reader, books take me months to finish. However, if you want small posts on what I read or what movie I saw and what I thought about it, I may be able to oblige you. However, I don't know who would read it...

| Sure I could do that if you don't mind irregular updates. I write informal reviews of books to my Livejournal already. |

| I'm in. Like Doug, it'll probably be an irregular event, though |

I am big on using RSS! So, I'm able to keep up with the back and forth here in such an easy manner. The only request I would have is putting the author in the title (if that would be possible.) Right now my feed just lists the title, and I have RE: Book and Film Blogs
RE: Horror in Science Fiction
RE: Buy the Cover (6/04)
RE: Book and Film Blogs
...
It would be nice to get a bit more information if possible.
