Bloggiesta…Finish Line

Another Bloggiesta has come to an end! This event couldn’t be more timely as I been neglecting my blog lately due to life getting in the way. Now if only I can figure out a way to stay caught up on some of the more mundane housekeeping things on a regular basis, some of these tasks won’t need to keep showing up on my to-do list!

I ended up accomplishing most of what was on my list:

  • Write up all outstanding reviews that I need to postCOMPLETED
    • Completed and posted 2 reviews
    • Completed and scheduled 3 reviews
    • Set up draft posts for 3 reviews
  • Set up posts for upcoming review/postsCOMPLETED
  • Update reading log and link reviews to logCOMPLETED
  • Update challenge lists and link reviewsCOMPLETED
  • Update Review Archive listCOMPLETED
  • Post necessary reviews to NetgalleyCOMPLETED
  • Look into options for replacing Google ReaderCOMPLETED
    • I opted to go with Bloglovin‘ – so far I like it but still have some organizing to do
  • Clean up reader subscriptions before migrating to new readerCOMPLETED
  • Clean up e-mailsCOMPLETED
  • Update Goodreads tbr listCOMPLETED
  • Update blog rollCOMPLETED
  • Update blog planner/calendarCOMPLETED
  • Participate in at least 2 mini-challenges
    • Didn’t
      do any this time – got so caught up in my other to-do items that I
      forgot all about these – oh well, there’s always next time!
  • Visit at least 15 blogs participating in Bloggiesta each dayCOMPLETED

Other things I got to that were not on my original list:

  • Signed up for a twitter account – I can be found at @alwayswithabook
  • Joined in the twitter parties on Saturday and Sunday – so much fun!!! 

All
in all it was one productive weekend and I already have another list
of things to do for the next Bloggiesta, which will be sometime towards the end of September. There might also be another mini-Bloggiesta towards the end of July.
Now I am excited to visit everyone and see how much they got done and
see if I should be adding more to the new list!!!

    I didnt even hear about Bloggiesta until this morning… first one I have missed since I started blogging in June 2009. 🙁 Bummer… but there was no way I could have participated this weekend anyway. Looks like you did wonderfully!

    Wow, you did a fantastic job! I didn't do any of the mini challenges, either, but I did't even accomplish half of what you did! Great job!

    Wow you got so much done. I didn't get to many of the mini-challenges either. I want to do a bloggiesta one year that I just write reviews and posts and stuff like you did. Seems like every year is full of technical hard stuff. And welcome to twitter!

    You had a great weekend! Doesn't it feel good to cross things off the list? Enjoy the new week.

    Wow, awesome job completing so many goals in one weekend! I didn't participate in any of the mini-challenges for this round of Bloggiesta either, just an old one about Facebook.
