Thanks for that Marian. I've registered and, no doubt, will be spending many happy hours reading about esoteric subjects most people have never heard about!

When I came back to blogging last year, I started w/ WP and designed my blog and was almost done. But I couldn't work out a few issues that I didn't like, and I just ended back at Blogger. :( I keep saying one day, I will try again. It's good to know I can transfer over all that I am accumulating over here so I won't lose my history. I do have a WP account and I have used the Reader feature. It's the only place I am able to comment on The Classics Club.

Thanks for sharing these different platforms, ...Hi!<br />Thanks for sharing these different platforms, there’s surely many ways to fry a fish. There’s other ways to follow blogs, I made the change from blogger to wordpress, and I was able to transfer all my posts at blogger. Wordpress has its own reader, and whether you are at a pc, laptop or even your phone with the wordpress app, there’s that reader feature and it feeds the new posts of the blogs you follow. If it’s a wordpress blog, I only click a plus button and it adds it to my feed automatically, any other blog, I go to my “blogs I follow”, and I type or paste the url and voilà, I have all my friends blogs at the tip of my phone or anywhere I am!<br /><br />I used The Library Thing many years ago and that Story Graph looks great!Silvia Cachiahttps://silviacachia.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301853376184312607.post-9312179754056713092022-08-12T18:52:37.269-07:002022-08-12T18:52:37.269-07:00What a cool site!

So you can tailor it to your interests, I am guessing? <br /><br />Story Graph does offer community features, like following similar accounts to yours. The sight matches readers by their books and reading preferences. However, you don't really have much of a page to personalize. You have your avatar and then your books, but no place to add identifying marks other than what name you go by. I couldn't even link my blog, which would have been a cool feature. At least I don't see where there is one.

An...Ooh I used to use LibraryThing back in the day. And I keep hearing about StoryGraph. Does it give you a public profile page or is it more of just a personal app?<br /><br />My most exciting find this past couple of weeks is the Personal account feature on JSTOR. Currently, they have a temporary increase of 100 free articles per month! It's the nerd in me, but I've been missing my JSTOR access ever since college... Haven't signed up yet but I am looking forward to taking advantage of this soon. :)Marian Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115916138435761469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301853376184312607.post-50655531084495348162022-08-12T12:44:53.608-07:002022-08-12T12:44:53.608-07:00I love Library Thing too!!!
