Weekend Review, 6-27-09: This week across the blogiverse

Random updates

So, are you surprised to see this post today instead of yesterday? Me too! My internet at home went out on Friday evening and didn’t come back till Saturday morning – we’d been having some issues with our connection signal, but we think (hope!) they’re all fixed now.
Following up on one of the Bloggiesta mini-challenges: My blog grade per Website Grader is up above 90% this week (average 92%), from 87% last week. The uptick seems to be mainly due to two changes – I added metadata for keywords and description (once I figured out what the heck it is and how to do it – this article was helpful, as was this meta tag generator), and I renewed my domain registration. In related news, my Twitter grade is 97%, which is way better than when I last checked on it!

I won’t be posting a Weekend Review next Saturday (or Sunday!) – taking the 4th of July holiday off!

Bookmarks: Reading-related reading

If you’re really having trouble deciding read next, Lifehacker mentions a few book-recommendation sites you may want to check out.

Book blogs may influence what you want to read, but how about what you want to buy?

Mojo Mom‘s Summer Reading List looks a lot like mine (but I think I’ll need more time than summer…)

“New” novelist doesn’t necessarily equal “young” novelist

Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!
