Meme Directory & Wiki
I added two new features to BookBlogging.net this week! We now have a meme directory and a Wiki. The wiki is intended to be a resource hub. You can enter links to your blogging tips/tutorial posts, or you can eve post articles straight on the site!
We also now have over 30 books available for bloggers to request. Check out the list of available books.
New UBB add-on coming soon!
I’m currently working on a new add-on to the Ultimate Book Blogger Plugin. This will be a review request add-on. It will allow you to put a form on the front-end of your site where authors/publishers can submit review requests.
You can show or hide whichever fields you want, and rearrange them to be in whatever order you prefer.
And some of the fields will auto-fill with UBB information. For example, let’s say you’ve reviewed a book by “Wendy Higgins” before, so you have that author in your UBB info. If Wendy decides to submit a request to you and starts typing “Wendy Hig..” into the “Author” field, it will automatically pop up with “Wendy Higgins” because her name already exists.
And the list of genres will come from the list you’ve created in Posts » Genres.
These requests then get sent into a new section of your WordPress admin panel where you can view and moderate them. If you choose to accept the request and review the book, you can then click a button to “copy to new book review” and it will create a new post draft for you with all the book information filled in!
Nifty, eh?
I’m Mrs. Coding God!
Oh, and this happened on Monday.. š
Woohoo for the Sweet Spot. OMG I see Coding God hand. *Swoon* š Congrats, girl!
Bahaha š Thanks!!!
OMG congrats Ashley!!!! So happy for you!! May you always be happy together! <3 š
Thank you so much!! š
Congratulations! I’m such a fan of everything you do so I’m excited about the addons. Sidenote: Do you tutor on how to be a better book blogger š lol, sort of funny, but sort of super curious too.
The closest I come to tutoring is writing a bunch of tips and article posts on my blog. š
That is a pretty cool addition to the UBB š
Congratulations, I wish you both all the happiness and success in the world š
Thank you!! š
Really wish I had UBB! It’s such an amazing plugin and I admire that you work so hard to make it even better. š
Congrats, Mrs. Coding God!! Wish you guys a very very happy life together. <3
Thanks Hazel! š
EEEEPPP! I think I already congratulated you on Twitter but CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!!!
Thank you so much!! š
Congrats again! š
That Add-on looks cool! Is it similar to your Ask Me A Question thingy? Or more like a Widget? I’m definitely interested in it.
It’s going to be a shortcode, and it’s meant to be something you put on a page, like maybe on your review policy page. š So then when authors or publishers want to invite you to review their book, they use that form instead of sending you an email.
Oh cool! š Could you give me an estimate on how much it’ll cost? That way I can save money for it. =)
Maybe about $25. š
Thanks! š
So excited for all these new things! And omg congratulations on officially getting married. Every time I hear about you two, I just feel all warm inside. More stories please! š
Thank you so much!! š
Congrats Mrs. Coding God! Thanks for all you do for our bookish blogs. I added my Small Victories Sunday meme to the site yesterday and love the new add-on idea.
First, congrats on getting married! That must feel so awesome.
I so wish I had that UBB, but I’m not self hosted š Someday I hope to be though!
The books you got look interesting, although I haven’t seen them before. Hope you enjoy them and have a good week š
Congrats Ashley.
I didn’t read The Rules for Disappearing, but I really wanted to. I beta read See Me. I Hope you enjoy it! I have Kiss of Deception from ALA, I haven’t started yet. It’s pretty big! Enjoy all your books! My STS
Congratulations on your marriage <3
I love the two new features on Book Blogging! I haven't had a chance to go through the wiki yet but I'm really excited to read all the posts because there are a ton there already š
AND YES! I love this new Add-on! I will be getting this one for sure, such a fabulous idea and will make review requests much easier for a lot of us š
Congrats!!! I wish you both so much happiness!!
Congratulations Ashley!!!
The UBB add-on looks amazing! Congratulations on this new stage of your life š
Ooh some very nice stuff, especially the addon for UBB.
Congratulations to you Mrs. Coding God š That’s so awesome.
Congratulations Ashley! Really nice rings.
And the book plugin add-on seems quite interesting too. How does it work when you purchase the add-on? Do you get the add-on later for free, do you pay a yearly fee?
The add-on is a separate plugin file that extends the functionality of UBB. So you pay a one-time fee for the separate plugin file (much like you originally purchased UBB), and then you install it. š
Congrats on the wedding! May you have many years of happiness together. I love the Review Request add-on, that is going to be great!
Ahh looks like you had a great week, Mrs. Coding God! š It’s so exciting that you’re officially married now eeeek!! See Me looks really good, and I’m loving the new ideas you have for UBB and bookblogging.net š Ashley you rock at blogging lol! Have a fantastic week! <33
Thanks so much Eileen! š *hugs*
Congratulations! So happy for you and Coding God!
That new plugin looks amazing! Is it going to be part of the UBB or an addon like the review count one?
It’s going to be an add-on. š Like the reading challenges add-on.
Congratulations, Mrs. Coding God!
I’ve read great reviews about See Me by Wendy Higgins! I actually have it in my Kindle, hopefully I’ll read it soon!
The new UBB add-on looks amazing! Will it be possible to add the short-code to more than one page?
BTW, I’m so totally in love with your new design! I did a double take when I saw it! <3
