Book review headings, numbering & labels

Hello, everyone! I'd like to reiterate and expand upon notes about subject headings and labels for book review posts:
You should check the sample [subject] headings for book reviews in this April 25 post, and then revise all of yours accordingly.

You also should label each book review that you do with the label "books" plus another label for the genre. For more about labeling other kinds of posts, please review my "Quick tip on labels for blog posts", and Blogger's "How do I label my posts?"

Then make certain that your blog Layout is set to display in the sidebar the labels that you have used (Dashboard: Manage: Layout: Add element: Labels).

Please pay particular attention to the numbering system. Here's the breakdown:
  • Book review 1-nn: ... [+ short title] - first semester book reviews from 01 to 99;
  • Book review 2-nn: ... [+ short title] - second semester book reviews from 01 to 99
Further, please include short book titles at the end of book review subject headings, for example:
  • Book review 1-05: Vampire Killer
If you include short titles, visitors may recognize books that they've read, too, and want to read and comment on your reviews.

Blog on!
