Worlds Without End Blog

Introducing: 3 Rs: Rhonda Reads Reviews Posted at 8:59 PM by Rhonda Knight

R3One of the features that I’ve been missing on WWEnd’s blog has been the featured reviews. The amazing growth of the site with the RYO challenges and all the new awards and features has made it impossible for the administrative team to keep up with the amount of reviews that the site is now generating. I have volunteered to be a “review editor” of sorts.

LoA_collectionWhat I want to do is put some of Worlds Without End’s exclusive reviews center stage on the blog. Many of you have your own review blogs and generate your own readers through various means. I want to feature those of us who are only posting our reviews here on WWEnd. (I’m not just doing this to get an audience. I have very mixed feelings about adding mine at all.) What I hope this does is bring some readership and conversation to these reviews that can be quickly pushed off the rolling list on the home page as more reviews are added.

As I said, I am only me, so if you read a good review that you’d like to see on the blog, send me a message through the message system on the forum page. Also, if you want to self-promote your own WWEnd-only review, drop me a note as well. I have created a forum page as well for more conversations and general questions. This is the  link. I will put up the first review tomorrow.

Thank you, Rhonda, for this great idea! We have so many excellent reviews on the site that deserve a more attention than they’re getting. I’m looking forward to the first and, what I hope will be, many more 3Rs!

I’ve also missed the “featured reviews,” so I’m glad to see you take this on! I counted on those to help me at least read some of the reviews on the site when I didn’t have time to sift through all of the new ones (which has been the situation for most of the last year).

I also thought the blog was pretty much dead, as I had only been looking at the topic listing on the home page, which apparently is broken, so I’m glad to see that things might be picking up here.

@Dave: I used to get notified by my RSS reader (Feedly) whenever there was a new blog post on the site, but apparently that hasn’t been working for a while either. Is that an issue you’re aware of, or might the problem be on my end?

… And it was cool to see that picture of my bookcase pop up on the site again…

Scott, I found the picture in the image bank and thought it was a perfect one for the very first blog. Welcome back! I’ve missed you. Rhonda

@Scott: I use Feedly too and I’m getting all the blog posts just fine. You might want to cancel and try again.

Thanks, Dave. It looks like that will do it.

@Rhonda: I do hope to be around here more going forward…
