How did I do on my second-ever Bloggiesta? Accomplished my major goal of moving from WordPress.com to self-hosting!
Otherwise, a big zero.
Move to self-hosting with 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)
Migrating my blog to a new web host and setting it up again in the new space took up a lot of time that probably would have been better spent doing the other items on my short, but time-consuming, to-do list. About halfway through the process, I strongly sensed that I was making a mistake, and would regret leaving the WordPress.com community and safety net behind.
BUT, I persevered (mainly because I had already waded far enough in that it would be a real hassle to change my mind at that point) and I DID IT!
Thank you to Suey of It’s All About Books and Danielle of There’s a Book for hosting Bloggiesta and doing a great job of organizing.
Thank you also to those who cheered me on in the switch to self-hosting during Twitter chat and in comments!
