Bloggiesta, Olé! It’s #Bloggiesta Time Again Spring 2013

Bloggiesta weekend starts today, an excuse to fiddle around with the blog. Here’s the to-do list for my third Bloggiesta. I don’t know if some of these items are even technically possible, given my programming limitations, and whether others are only theoretically possible for someone with three weeks instead of three (partial) days.

  • Uninstall themes and widgets I’m not using
  • Get help making blog banner look more professional
  • Make LibraryThing widget more attractive
  • Find out what PageLines is in WordPress.orgLand
  • Cut down category list (combine categories?) – STARTED
  • Catch up on audiobook reviews (Mini-reviews?)
  • Add to the page of book lists and readalikes
  • Create Reviews by Author option on Reviews by Title page

Bloggiesta is a weekend to devote yourself to spiffing up your blog. I think it’s mostly book bloggers who participate, but it’s not restricted to book bloggers. Sound like fun? Want to join in? Sign up at the Bloggiesta Web site.

Happy Bloggiesta! I think I will be doing Yard-Work-iesta this weekend…

Hope your Bloggiesta will be a good one.

I’m using the free, nothing-to-install wordpress, so mine may be different, but if you have Qs…. Widgets I think you just drag from the sidebar area to the area on the left, where the “spare” widgets are kept (Available Widgets/Inactive widgets). Maybe that’s the same for you?

Good luck!

good luck with your goals!

Katrina @ Bookish Things

Hope you get your list tackled. I commend you on all the techy stuff. I’m not very good at it at all.

Angelica @ Paperback Princess

Cleaning up my labels/category list is also in my goal list for this weekend.

You have an ambitious list, so I’ll be happily visiting to see what you’ve accomplished. I love that part! Thanks for visiting my blog.

Good luck with all of your goals!!! 🙂 Even if you don’t finish it all, it’s good to be aware of what you want to change and make time for it!

Good start! 🙂 I am going to go spend the day at a YA authors festival so no time to spruce up my own blog…though I haven’t really had enough time to accumulate unnecessary widgets.

Yay for Bloggiesta! Good luck with all of your goals 🙂 Have you ever used Picmonkey? It might help you out with your header. It’s pretty easy to use which is always a good thing!

Have a great weekend!

Hi! Just stopped by to wish you good luck in accomplishing all your goals! I’m also struggling when even a small bit of code needs to be modified for some widget, and you have a whole page of code to tend! That’s wow… 🙂

What awesome goals! Good luck with them all! I hope you check out my Bloggiesta To Do List or join my mini-challenge about getting involved!

Looks like you’ve gotten quite a bit accomplished this weekend. One of my goals was to catch up on reviews, too. I always seem to be behind on them.

Here’s my Bloggiesta to-do list.

Good luck with the rest of your list!

Melissa @ Melissa's Bookshelf

Good luck with your list! I ended up keeping mine pretty short this time due to time constraints this weekend, and admittedly, most of my goals are more networking-related than blog maintenance related. I recently did the same thing you’re planning to do, though — narrow down my categories/labels. I hope you accomplish everything you want to this weekend!

Good luck on all your goals! I couldn’t even find your LibraryThing widget. I am often startled to find that people whose blogs I’ve been following for a while are also very active on LT and I just didn’t know where to look. That’s probably my own fault though….

Looks like you got a lot done. Great job! This is my first bloggiesta and I found it much more productive than a typical weekend. And I got to meet new bloggers. I actually had fun cleaning up things.

You’ve got through loads of your list already, awesome! I am in the process of fixing my categories, I’ve no idea where to begin though.

And now off to Google to see if MA is “The Bay State” because I confess that I thought you were from California! Like SF Bay area. *headdesk*

Great job with all your goals and tasks! I finally finally updated my Review by Authors page–now I just need to create a tab for it so people can actually find it. When’s the next Bloggiesta?? 😉

Harley Bear (@HarleyBearBooks)

Looks like you got a lot of your list completed! Great job. I still have a few to goals to tackle too. Good thing there’ll be another bloggiesta in a few months

Best of luck with Bloggiesta! You’ll do awesome and even if you don’t get all your tasks done, you still will do great because of the time devoted to the event and your blog.
