Bloggiesta Finish Line

I had a lot of fun this weekend participating in bloggiesta. Of course, last night I was so tired that I didn't write my finish line post. Overall, I spent about 24 hours participating. I accomplished quite a few things that I hadn't planned to do, and took part in a few mini-challenges. All of that info can be found on my bloggiesta update post here.

1.Write some upcoming reviews.
2. Clean up my blog, add links to my reviews/interviews
3. Edit my google reader!
4. Clean up my tags
5. Add some of my social networking links
6. Edit my 'About Me', Review, and Contest Policy pages
7. Post my reviews on my BN/Amazon/Goodreads Accounts
8. Add a copyright notice at the bottom of the site
9. Backup my Blog
10. Register for BBAW. I'm not entering my blog to be voted on, but I am interested in finding new book blogs!
11. Add blog to directories 

I managed to get almost all of my list done. I'm still working on editing a review policy page, as well as a page for my contest policy. I'm still impressed with how much I got done. I'll definitely be participating again in January.

Mini-Challenges:

Hosted by the 2010 Blog Improvement Project: Write Your Blogging To-Do List

Evaluated my blog, and set a short-term, and long-term goal. My Short-Term Goal is to keep up on my list of reviews, author interviews, and tags. It took me three hours today to remove some useless tags, and I never want to go through that again.

My long-term goal is to visit more blogs, and comment more often.

Hosted by Maw Books Blog: The Surprise Mini-Challenge

Hosted by Bonjour, Cass!: The Embracing Community Mini-Challenge
I commented on some blogs that were new to me, and responded to the people who had posted on my Bloggiesta posts. I don't always comment when I read a post (shame on me, that's part of my long-term goal from an earlier mini-challenge), so this was a great reason to do so.

I still have quite a bit left to do, but I think I can get through it.

Bloggiesta Start Line

Well, Bloggiesta actually started yesterday. I was pretty much booked from 11 until 11 (dentist, work, etc), so I'm starting bright and early this morning, I've already got a bit done (woo), and will update later today to share the mini-challenges I'm participating in, and what I've gotten done. I'm actually going to let myself buy some books later today if I get a few specific things accomplished.

Here's my list (updated to show new goals)
1.Write some upcoming reviews. I have a whole list on my computer of books that I've read that I plan to review (more than 10, but less than 100).
2. Clean up my blog, add links to my reviews/interviews
3. Edit my google reader!
4. Clean up my tags
5. Add some of my social networking links
6. Edit my 'About Me', Review, and Contest Policy pages
7. Post my reviews on my BN/Amazon/Goodreads Accounts
8. Add a copyright notice at the bottom of the site

Good luck to everyone participating!
