It's time to start the Bloggiesta! Some of you may be asking what is Bloggiesta? In short, it’s a blogging marathon hosted by
Maw Books Blog. It runs from January 21-23. It's an opportunity to cross those nagging items off of your to-do list and improve your blog while in the good company of other awesome bloggers doing the same thing. Our mascot Pedro stands for: Plan. Edit. Develop. Review. Organize.
I have designated January as my uncluttering and organizing month--my house, my bookshelf and my blogs. That's why I love the idea of Bloggiesta, although this is my first time participating. Here is what I am working on:
Clean up linkbarEdit my About Us page, review policy, disclosure policyOrganize labelsCreate page of book reviews by title (fully updated!)Create page of book reviews by author (not yet fully updated)- Improve blog template by cleaning up sidebars, removing old pics, etc.
- Update challenge lists and link posts with hosts
Prepare blog posts for future reviewsRemove old posts, such as old giveaways and winner announcements
Since I am also owner of another blog,
NouveauWriter, which is participating in Bloggiesta as well, I do not want to overwhelm myself. Once I get started though, I know I will have the incentive to do more even after the Bloggiesta is finished. My overall goal is to have a clean, uncluttered look with easy navigation for my readers to find the info they came looking for.
Happy Bloggiesta to all participants!
Good luck with your Bloggiesta!

ReplyDeleteI know I already left you a comment on your other blog but wanted to give you some love here as well!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a lot accomplished.
ReplyDeleteI'm still a long way behind with setting up my blog.
You have offered to help with advice on templates. I want a simple look, but would like a header with a photo that's wider rather than square. How do you change the setting to get a thin
header with a photo. Thank you, in anticipation.
Wow, it looks like you have got a lot done already! Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've been having a productive Bloggiesta! Best of luck with the rest of the weekend.
