Bloggiesta Day Two! Keep it Going!
January 9th, 2010 by the1stdaughter
Well, here goes day two of Bloggiesta! Day one was fabulous even if I feel like I spent most of the day on cleaning out my Google Reader (and it’s still not done, almost). Hopefully today I’ll be able to accomplish quite a bit since I have no kiddos to keep track of for the most part. I do have to make a quick run to the library and to the store, but the rest of the day will be spent with my eyes glued to the screen. Here’s what’s on the agenda for today:
- Keep going with the Comment Challenge hosted by Mother Reader, yesterday I made about 20 comments at all new sites I’d never commented at before and I’d like to keep that up. It was really fun!
- Pam’s mini-challenge on copyrighting.
- Jenn has a great post all about creating 10 Post ideas that I’m going to take advantage of!
- Make sure my favicon keeps working, it comes and goes like it’s visiting other sites or something. That’s at Trish’s site for those of you interested.
- Finish my Google Reader with Rebecca’s mini-challenge on how to get things under control. That’s the first thing to get going! Yay! I did it!
- Set up a few more feature spotlights. If you’re interested in participating just let me know!
- Write at least this weeks worth of posts.
- If I get done with that I’ll refer to my first day’s list and go from there.
Just Added:
- Over at Farm Lane Books Blog Jackie is hosting a super-easy mini-challenge that will be a life saver in the event you lose your blog sometime. I did it in a matter of seconds, honestly, it took longer to write the follow-up comment. Check it out and back up your blog!
- Great way to get your site organized: Label and categorize your posts! Check out Beth’s post at Beth Fish Read’s and start labeling. I was lucky enough to start doing this from the get go and man does it make a difference!
- Checked out my deadlinks with Karin at Karin’s Book Nook. Great reference material for future use as well!
- Okay, so I just keep adding and adding, but Jill’s comment challenge coincided nicely with Mother Reader’s and I was able to complete that as well.
Good luck to everyone participating and I’m sure I’ll be seeing you around! If you haven’t signed up, it’s not too late, go do it!

Your favicon will come and go, particularly in Internet Explorer. I rarely see favicons when I’m at work and have to use IE. Favicons always show up for me in Firefox, though. So don’t even worry about it! If it showed up once, you did it right.

Trish, I think I figured it out. I had previously downloaded a different favicon plug-in and I think it was conflicting with the one you suggested. Since yours worked I decided to go with the plug-in you mentioned and now it seems to work just fine. Thanks!
I did several changes to my blog, like: (1) Clean up labels
(2) visit 10 participating blogs
(3) Clean my feed reader
(4) Got a favicon
I believe the most fun I had was reading & commenting.
`Happy Bloggiesta`

It really has been so much fun! And I’ve gotten a ton done, it’s great!
Doing great! Taking a break to comment more. Digging through google reader which is a pain!

First wanted to say I was directed over here by Kristen’s feature. Loved the interview!
And keep up the great work. I think it’s great that you’re so organized.

Your site is so pretty already, I’m impressed you find so many ways to improve it! I think Google Reader is a huge task to undertake- good work with that!
And I’d be happy to participate in your guest post series if you’d like- let me know!

Your site has a fun and playful look to it. I love it. You seem to have accomplished so much. I worked on my labels but that is going to be an ongoing process as I figure out what I want to do with them all. I have looked over your “jobs” for bloggiesta and have gotten some ideas from you. I will continue this process after bloggiesta is over. I have enjoyed taking the time to look at different blogs and go back to the ones that I used to frequent every day. That was before school started up again. I will be back often to see what you have been up to.
