Bloggiesta badge large-size

Ai yi yi! It’s Bloggiesta time again already! Despite my prolonged neglect of ye old blog lately, I’m not only joining in the fall Bloggiesta but also offering (for the very first time) a Bloggiesta Mini Challenge. Bloggiesta badge

Here’s how it goes:

Blogroll Overhaul Mini Challenge

How long has it been since you revamped your blogroll? How many blogs have gone bye-bye but still appear on your list of faves? How many current faves have never made it onto the blogroll that you created so very long ago?

To complete this challenge:

  1. Go through your blogroll and check all the links. (Hint–Count how many you have in your blogroll before you start.)
  2. Delete any blogs that are no longer active from your blogroll.
  3. (For overachievers, leave a fresh comment on every active blog.)
  4. If your blogroll is too long, you might want to be ruthless and delete any blogs that you haven’t been keeping up with lately.
  5. Write a post about which blogs you said goodbye to and which new ones you added (or include this info in your to-do list update post)
  6. Share your link in the comments before the end of Sunday, Sept. 20th, your time, to be eligible for the giveaway.

Along with experiencing a satisfying sense of accomplishment should you complete this challenge, you may choose to be entered in a prize drawing for an unread, paperback copy of Madame Picasso by Anne Girard, which I won in a giveaway from Meg at A Bookish Affair but have given up hope of ever getting around to. (Prize is only open to U.S. residents this time around.)
