This weekend I will be participating in my fourth Bloggiesta!
This is a great weekend blogging marathon being hosted by Suey at It’s All About Books and Danielle at There’s a Book.
The premise of the bloggiesta, for
those that haven’t participated before, is to spend the entire
weekend working, updating, improving your blog. From minor things
such as writing up posts, to reaching out for guests posts and
reorganizing all of your tags and categories.
So what do I plan to do this weekend? Well… here’s my list:
- Write up all outstanding reviews that I need to post
- Set up posts for upcoming reviews
- Clean up tags, category lists
- Update reading log and link reviews to log
- Update challenge lists and link reviews
- Update Review Archive list
- Add an About Me page
- Clean up my Google Reader subscriptions
- Clean up emails
- Update Goodreads tbr list
- Update blog roll
- Look into possible new blog design
- Look into drop-down menus
- Participate in at least 2 mini-challenges
- Visit at least 10 blogs participating in Bloggiesta each day
It’ll
be a fun and hopefully very productive weekend. I’m hoping to log
at least 20 hours during this event – hopefully I will get even more
in though!!!
What about you? Are you participating in Bloggiesta?
An About Me page is nice to have – at least, I love to see other people's About Me page. Make it a nice one! 🙂
Have a good time with Bloggiesta.
That's been on my to-do list for the last few Bloggiestas! I really need to just do it!
Oooh, deciding about a new blog design! That's always fun…at least to me. 🙂
Good luck on all of your goals!
I'm still in the thinking about it stage…not sure it's going to happen, but want to see what options there are out there.
Your list looks like fun! I need to clean up my Google list also. I cant wait to see your about me page!
I've had that on my to-do list for the last few bloggiestas…and I am determined to get it done this time around.
I am going by everyone's blogs and stealing their lists (seriously and I am not ashamed about it LOL). I have a list for this weekend but everyone has such great ideas for stuff I can do after this weekend 🙂
Good luck with design 🙂
I do that, too! You just can't help it…but I am going to focus on getting things done from my list and then if time allows, do the other stuff.
Not sure what I want to do with the design – it just seems a few other bloggers have this one (being that it was a free design) and so I have to decide if I want mine to be completely unique or not.
I hope you get everything done on your list 🙂 Thanks for visiting my blog too!
I hope I do, too!!!
You have an ambitious list! I see that you are considering updating your blog design. It's my first visit here – and the first thing I noticed was the clean and beautiful design! Can't wait to see what you're inspired to do next.
Thank you. I don't really want to change it, but since it was a free template, I have come across at least 2 other bloggers using it. Not sure what I want to do, but figure this is the time to look around.
Great list! I already see that there are some items I should add. Have fun!
Here's MY BLOGGIESTA STARTING LINE POST
I keep finding new things to add to my list as I visit everyone else's blog.
Great list! I have an About page, but it desperately needs updating so that's on my list, too.
Have a great Bloggiesta!
I've been saying I'm going to create one for a while now – just need to bite the bullet and do it already!
Good luck with your list!
Thank you!
Wow! That's quite an ambitious list you have. Your blog is already very organized, and fun to visit.
Thank you. Yeah…it's a big list, but I'm hoping to get to it all. It doesn't help, though, that I keep finding new things to add. I now have a separate list of things to do either when I finish everything or for another time!
I like your blog design as it is. Good luck with your goals-I dread thinking about my Google reader, but it needs to be done.
Thanks…I am just bummed that other blogs have it – but that's what happens when you use a free template. I'm not sure if I will change it – I really do love it, but I'm going to see what else is out there.
Yes, that Google Reader is overwhelming…I really need to figure out a way to organize it.
Awesome goals! That'll definitely keep you busy. I love how your gravatar and favicon have have turned! They look great! 🙂
Thank you so much for your mini-challenge and directions…they were super easy to follow!
Wow your list is way more in depth then mine. It's an excellent list. Good luck with the redesign. I find them fun but challenging.
I always seem to create long lists – and I never finish everything – but it keeps me motivated all weekend!
Okay, now I'm tired. Good luck! 🙂
Yeah…it's a long list, but that's what keeps me motivated all weekend!
Great goals! I added an About Me page during a previous Bloggiesta, and really need to organize my Google Reader already! Good luck, and have fun!
I've had create an About Me page on my to-do list every bloggiesta I've participated in. I finally did it and am so relieved!
Best of luck with your goals! I am getting a late start, but I hope to get a few things accomplished.
Thanks… and better late than never. There's still lots of time left!
I want to freshen-up my blog design, too. Good luck with your goals!
I'm still on the fence about that goal…not sure what I will do.
Very nice list! You have some great things on there and I hope you can achieve at lot this Bloggiesta. It's so much fun huh 😀
My bloggiesta.
Thanks…it's an ambitious list, but I am hopeful that I will get most done.
I tried to clean up my Google Reader – unsubscribed from non-book blogs I no longer want to follow, but they keep coming back, I don't why…
Oh, and I need to clean up my tags! *adding it to goal list*
Good luck with your goals&have fun!
🙂
I've had that happen to me too in the past with Google Reader. I tried again today – hopefully they will stay gone!
Good luck! You've got a great list going there, hope you can get it all done :)I'm thinking I might have to update my About Me page too now.
Thanks. I'm making decent progress so I just might get it all done!
I change my blog design, at least in some way with every Bloggiesta. In fact, it's one of the first things I do because I feel like it gives me a fresh start. Is that weird? Hope you're having a productive weekend!
Awesome list! This is my first year participating and so far it's definitely been productive and a lot of fun! 🙂
Good luck with your list!
