Bloggiesta Goals + Evaluation

Everyone knows I’m a sucker for setting and accomplishing goals, so when I heard about Bloggiesta…I knew I wouldn’t be able to stay away.

So, what exactly is Bloggiesta? It’s basically a weekend-long blog challenge hosted by Maw Books Blog to improve your blog and cross items off your to-do list. You can put as much or as little time into the challenge as you want. Throughout the weekend, there are mini-challenges with tips and ideas to make your blog even better.

Below are some of my specific goals for this weekend:

Write reviews
Answer emails
Edit review policy
Edit services page
Edit book reviews page
Send out interview questions
-Schedule more author interviews/guest blogs
-Figure out if I’m removing my blog roll and if so, figure out something better to put on that page
-Prepare a few discussion posts
Catch up on Google Reader
Comment on blogs
-Research and figure out when I’m signing up for BEA/BBC
Learn how to copyright my blog (Silly me, my blog was already copyrighted!)
Find new blogs to read through bloggiesta!

Challenges participated in:

Organize Thy Shelves hosted by Jenn’s Bookshelves
Email Best Practices hosted by Hey Lady Whatcha Reading
Your Review Policy hosted by Girls Gone Reading
Clean Up Your Feed Reader hosted by The Book Lady’s Blog
Backing Up Your Blog hosted by Farm Lane Books Blog
Grade Your Blog hosted by Bookish Ruth

Overall thoughts:

Bloggiesta is such a fantastic idea! I accomplished a lot on my to-do list as well as some things I never even thought of (like creating a Google spreadsheet for my upcoming reviews/author interviews). I didn’t accomplish everything on my list, but bloggiesta is a year-long activity for me! I usually spend Sunday afternoons working on upcoming posts/improving my blog, so I’m looking forward to making my blog even better!

I had a great time hopping around to new blogs and look forward to the next event!

Total time spent:

8 hours

How did you do during Bloggiesta?

  1. Great goals! I really need to get moving on some of the blog specific goals I’ve set, but find that I’m having too much fun visiting other blogs! 🙂
