Bloggiesta is here again, September 20–22, an excuse to spend time tidying up the blog and share ideas with other bloggers.
Here’s my to-do list for the weekend. I never get my whole list done, because I spend a lot of time visiting and commenting on other blogs, but it’s always fun, anyway!

Good luck with your to-do list. I always seem to add to my list as I go around and visit everyone!

Good list! I love seeing what everyone has to take care of this weekend. It makes me feel like I am not the only one with reviews on the list. LOL!
Good luck Laurie! Combining categories sounds a great thing to do, if potentially difficult. That said, that’s what a dedicated weekend is for 🙂
Great goals! Tags are my main goal this bloggiesta! I hope you accomplish all you set out to do!
Mission to Read
I am all about mini-reviews! I need to do more of those too! Plus, schedule! I need to make one and stick to it. Good luck!

Looks like a good list. What do you have in mind for a “blog schedule”? I use a paper calendar to keep track of stuff for my “work” blog and it helps a lot.
Great list! Good luck on your blog schedule — I find that often takes a while to compile! But once you’ve got one set, it’s much easier to work off of. I currently use a spreadsheet in Google Docs and I love it!
Thanks for stopping by my list 🙂
I think I’m going to try a WordPress plug-in called Editorial Calendar. I heard about it through April’s mini challenge, My Favorite WordPress Plug-ins at My Shelf Confessions.
I may still look at more mini-challenges…the ones I saw earlier were too “techie” for me. It was like reading a foreign language…lol.
Thanks for visiting my blog, and enjoy your list.
Oh I need to combine some categories too! How did I get so many? 🙂 Hope you get caught up on your reviews and everything else on your list.
Good luck on the last day of Bloggiesta! I wish I had the time… Keep up the good work.
How are you doing on combining categories?
I know you’re focusing on one mini-challenge, but you can also stop by and enter my Bloggiesta Challenge Giveaway, which you can totally enter even if you don’t complete the challenge!

I think I’m going to call myself done! The librarian side of me needed fewer categories and more organization there. I used the WordPress Category & Tag Converter, and found one annoying thing about it. I wanted capital letters for category names and lower-case for tags, but if one had been converted to the other and was in use as both a category and a tag, changing the look of the name of one changed the look of the name of the other. So I still have capital letters mixed in with my tags, but I changed them back several times before I realized what was happening!
It’s amazing how many goals people have in common. Good luck knocking out your list 🙂
I did it! They look a lot better, to me, at least! 😉
Looks like you got quite a bit done. Good for you!
