Fall 2014 Bloggiesta To-Do List
From bloggiesta.com: “In short, Bloggiesta is a blogging marathon revolving around ticking off those items on your to-do list and improving your blog while in the good company of other awesome bloggers doing the same thing.” Bloggiesta is hosted by Suey at It’s All About Books and Danielle from There’s A Book.
This Thursday through Sunday, September 18-21, is the Fall 2014 Bloggiesta! I’m excited to be participating again, because I have a lot of blog housekeeping to do!
I plan on updating this post as I go, and I might also write a wrap-up post at the end of the event.
My Goals

- Write 2 more reviews
- Write 2 more other posts

- Follow blogs/twitter accounts of those I met at BEA this year, especially those who went to the BEA Book Blogger Picnic and BEA Book Blogger Meet and Drink! (I can’t believe I haven’t done this already!)
- Update my My Policies page
- Update my About Me/Rating System page
- Add religion tag to sidebar, add religion tag to some older reviews
- Add Bonus Points tag to all reviews that have Bonus Points

-I finished my 5th goal of writing 1 other post, which means I have now completed all my major goals! I can move on to the bonus goals!
Sunday 09/21
-I finished my 6th goal of backing up my blog.
-I attempted to finish my goal of visiting all of the Bloggiesta participants, but didn’t get it done before I had to leave and do other things for the rest of the day. But I visited over half of the participants’ blogs and I hope to visit everyone else in the next couple weeks!
Overall
I love Bloggiesta! The Twitter chats were great, and I loved that there were recaps on the Bloggiesta blog for those of us who had to leave early or for those who couldn’t join in on the chats! I didn’t quite get everything done that I really wanted to do, but I did get those first goals done! And I visited over half of the bloggers who were participating and hope to visit the rest in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks again to the hosts for such a great event, and I can’t wait until the next Bloggiesta!

September 19, 2014 at 4:23 pmI like how you have your days marked you so you can what you've accomplished on each day. Great idea! I'm hoping to write up some posts as well–finally finished my post for tomorrow and it took nearly all my free time.
Good luck with your goals!
