I’ve never participated in Bloggiesta because I always hear about it when it’s already in progress, but this year I’m psyched to join in. Bloggiesta is co-hosted by Danielle @ There’s a Book and Suey @ It’s All About Books. The Fall 2012 edition runs from September 28th-30th and the goal is to spend some time sprucing up your blog. From Danielle’s sign up post:
If you decide to participate in the Fall 2012 edition you can expect:
- to spend time that weekend (as much or as little as your schedule allows) working on your blog
- to create a to do list to share on your blog and link up with other participants
- to hopefully participant in several mini challenges and learn something new
- to connect with other participants through blog hopping or twitter
- to make new blogging friends!
- to come away at the end of the three days with a spiffed up blog!
Sign ups are open now – click here to participate!
My Bloggiesta objectives:
- Catch up on review writing (I’m currently 8 reviews behind)
- Update master reviews by author and title for books and audiobooks
- Cross post reviews to Goodreads, LibraryThing, and Amazon
- Clean up and streamline blog appearance
- Draft a Policies Page
- Update my Challenge Page
- Schedule Top Ten Tuesday posts
- Add copyright info
- Work out a tentative reading schedule for the balance of the year
- Visit other blogs, and participate in mini challenges
How about you? Are you signing up for Bloggiesta? For those of you that have participated before, can you think of anything else I should be focused on during the event?
Such a good idea. I need to do this but don’t have the time. Probably will near the end of November though.
Glad you’re participating! It’s lots of fun, I think that working on your blog and chatting with the other people doing it as well is a good balance, you get to meet awesome new bloggers, and the mini-challenges really help too 🙂
Ahhh, I still need to sign up for Bloggiesta as I am so far behind on reviews.
Best of luck with all of your goals, Lucy!
Good luck!!
Looks like you have a lot to do, Lucy! Hope Bloggiesta is very productive for you.
Brilliant idea! Best of luck in you Bloggiesta, you’ll get loads done! 🙂
Oh hooray! I was JUST thinking I needed to do a Bloggiesta soon. Glad to see there is an upcoming one! Good luck on your goals!
