Bloggiesta weekend starts today! I’m going to be in Maine for all of Saturday, and have to work today, but we’ll see what I can get done on Sunday. Here’s my to-do list, short but extremely time-consuming. All but the first item on the list are repeats from my first Bloggiesta in the spring (#fail):
- Move to self-hosting on WordPress (Eek!)
- Start some personal “Best of 2012″ lists (still undone from my spring Bloggiesta list)
- Catch up on reviews (maybe by doing mini-reviews) (ditto)
- Create a page of book lists and readalikes (ditto)
Bloggiesta is a weekend to devote yourself to spiffing up your blog. I believe it’s mostly book bloggers, but not restricted to book bloggers. Does it sound like fun? Want to join in? Sign up at There’s a Book.

I have catch up on reviews on my list, too. I am forever behind on them!
Hope you get a lot done!

I am always behind on reviews too. I switched to self hosted wordpress a couple weeks ago and it wasnt as hard as I thought it would be. It just took up a lot of time.
I too need to have a review catchup
It’s great to visit here! This is actually my first time, but I love the name of your blog….and I will be visiting again.

I need to catch up on reviews too. Good luck!
Mini reviews are a good idea! Best of luck on moving to a self-hosted WP! Enjoy your weekend.
Wow, good luck moving the blog! That’s something I’ve been considering, but I haven’t been brave enough to take the leap
Moving to self hosting on WordPress, exciting and scary! Good luck with that
My bloggiesta.
Sunday sounds like the ideal day to move to self-hosting!
I think there are tutorials on the web that you can use. Go for it and have a great Bloggiesta!
I’ll look for tutorials; that’s a good idea. Thanks!
I moved to self-hosting during the last Bloggiesta. It’s a huge jump, but it has been worth it for me! Allows for alot more personalization and creativity. Good luck!
Yes, so many things I’ve wanted to add, I haven’t been able to. Of course, fussing around with the look of the blog is a good way to procrastinate on writing reviews, too!
Who is hosting your blog now? I’m having trouble with that very first step, choosing a host server!
I use it so I’m biased, but WordPress is a really good system. Well done for having moved it over, as I see I’m commenting in a WP box. Good luck with the rest
Great looking goals! Changing to self-hosted looks hard, that’s why I haven’t ventured into it myself yet. Good luck though!
It is looking more and more complicated!
This was my first event so kept my list nice and short so I wouldn’t fail. You have some good simple goals there. Good luck with self hosting, one day I hope to go there but not any day soon
