Down Under Views

Last week on my expat blog – The New Australian – I wrote about ‘Blogging Naked’. It’s my wish that, from here on out, I get rid of the fear of being found or judged and blog as I truly want to blog. With some of my blogs, that means that I write out the thoughts I have been dealing with for a long time. With others, it simply means taking charge and exploring some possibilities.

But then I come to this blog. My wonderful book review blog. Wonderful in my eyes, of course. I imagine it’s just one of many to others.

The first thing I want to do for this site is make it a site. I’m betting that some of the people who visit here aren’t even aware that there is a main DownUnderViews.com site. Right now, the .com and the .com/blog operate more or less as separate entities. My plans for the future are to nuke both and then have one entity under the .com

Don’t worry – I’ll be saving my archives.

The next thing I want to do is revamp my giveaway shelf and get some better titles on there. The Wednesday book game has dropped off a bit, which is nice for saving on shipping but not so great considering that I want to uphold my standing as a regular international giveaway blog.

Then, the posts… I’m not sure what else to add in here. Would you like to see author interviews and guest posts? Or maybe more bookish news. My friend Elisa likes to report on books that are made into movies.

Then again, maybe you like the blog just the way it is. I don’t know. So, if you feel the want to weigh in on the direction this site takes, please do. Goodness knows I need the suggestions.
