First I'...Here are my two or three cents worth. First I'll tackle the name. You could name the blog Girls Who Read if your new reviewers are all female. If not, well ... would a guy even want to review under your current name?<br /><br />I would keep your Twitter account as is, but if adding the S is available, that's an option as well.<br /><br />With only three reviewers, your crew will still be small. Handling requests yourself is doable, though I am always looking for ways to give more work to the reviewer. Blogging for me means income, so I try to make the reviews as efficient as possible since I'm not getting paid for those. Of course, we have DeeJay. Our crew is big enough that we would have a hard time operating without her.<br /><br />We have reviewers submit their reviews through a Google form. It sits in a spreadsheet until my wife processes it. Right now she copies all the data to another spreadsheet that I've rigged to spit out the HTML. It's really fast. I have my book promos done the same way. With that method, I can put together a post in just a few minutes. Thus, the only ones that have author privileges on our blog is me, my wife through the same account, and DeeJay.<br /><br />If your reviewers are willing to post reviews to Amazon, there's no reason you can't accept multiple reviews for the same book. That's something we struggle with since not everyone of our reviewers is willing to post on Amazon. In hindsight, it's something I wish I would have chosen differently on. It's caused some extra work for me.<br /><br />Posting more than once a day isn't a problem, especially since you use Triberr. In fact, with a multiple author blog, you can set up a separate RSS feed for one or both of the other reviewers. All three of you could go through Triberr, acting almost as separate sites. Of course, you may want to build up to that. For us, we go through Triberr via three accounts, so I've been known to post as many as 6 times a day. However, if you don't need to post multiple times a day, spread out your posts so that one day isn't packed with posts while others are empty. But you probably already knew that.Masquerade Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561517969693391881noreply@blogger.com
