Bloggiesta Update #2

I am having so much fun participating in Bloggiesta! It’s been so helpful and informative as I am still a relatively new blogger.

I didn’t get much done yesterday, as I was busy with errands and cleaning and then had to work for a few hours. Today, I have been lucky to monopolize the computer all day – the World Cup USA vs. England game is on and hubby is a huge fan, so he is in front of the TV and doesn’t need the computer for the time being!

Here’s what I have accomplished so far on my to-do-list:

• Write up a few reviews that I need to post/set up posts for upcoming reviews 
• Wrote and posted review for Fools Rush In by Kristan Higgins
• Prepare a few posts for rainy days 
• Set up templates for weekly memes
• Clean-up tags, category lists
• Update my side bars and add an awards page
• Update my reading challenges lists – Completed
• Update reading logs – Completed
• Revise my “About Me” page
• Clean up my Google Reader subscriptions
• Visit the Blogging Tips group on the Book Blogs Ning and find ways to improve my blog.
• Participate in at least 2 mini-challenges – Completed
• Bloggiesta Mini-Challenge: It’s Not Cheating at There’s a Book
• created a cheat sheet with html codes, will continue to add to this
• Bloggiesta Mini-Challenge: Embracing Community as Bonjour, Cass
• so far, I’ve visited 10 new blogs and will go back and visit some more

I have logged about 5 hours so far and will be back later to do some more.  I need to go take the puppy out for a walk. 🙂  

Hope everyone is being as productive as I am!!!
