So, here it is! Bloggiesta! Wohoo! I have a long list of what I want to accomplish and a pretty free weekend ever since I informed The Baker of my voluntary exile behind a computer screen for the duration. First things first, mini-challenges. There are so many, including the one I am hosting that you definitely need to check out if you are at all interested in saving time. I don’t think I will be able to get to them all, but here are a few I’m really looking forward to sinking my teeth into:
- I’m already in for the Comment Challenge hosted by Mother Reader, I just need to sign up on Mr.Linky.
- Believe it or not, I need to work on my own cheat sheet and get a little more organized that way!
- Definitely going to check out Pam’s mini-challenge on copyrighting, I’ve already seen some of my images and words dragged places I don’t want them.
- I’m really interested in Kristen’s blogging mentor program.
- Even if my site is relatively new I really don’t want to lose any of it. I’ve never had this problem with past blogs, but I’ve never used WordPress before so who’s to say it can’t happen? So, I’m heading over to Jackie’s post on backing up your blog at some point.
- And who doesn’t need an excuse to have posts saved for a rainy day? Jenn has a great post all about creating 10 Post ideas that I’m going to take advantage of!
- Done!!! YAY! I highly recommend doing this, so easy: I’ve really, and I mean really got to figure out my favicon thingy. It’s all added but for some reason, not working. So, that’s on the list over at Trish’s site.
- I need to make my blogging buddies “official”, learn more from Amy!
- Listed a few places, but could probably use some more. This is where The Infant Bibliophile comes in..
- Boy do I need to clean up my feedreader! Rebecca has got an excellent post on how to get things under control and I’m going to take full advantage of it.
That’s the list from all the places I plan to go this weekend, it may be more I just have to see how much I can get done. Here’s the list I want to accomplish all on my own:
- Get my business cards set up and ordered.
- Manage and set up all the reading challenges I plan on doing this year.
- Set up a few more features I want to have lined up and ready to go.
- Write at least 5 review posts.
- Clean up my archive page.
Those are just a few things, but I’m already getting worried so I think I’ll stop there for now. If I get it all done, maybe I’ll treat myself to a new book! Either way I think this is going to be a great weekend and one where I will be able to accomplish A LOT! I’m loving Bloggiesta and if you haven’t signed up, it’s not too late, go do it!
Awesome list! If you end up needing help on the gravatar/favicon thing, let me know. I’m happy to help.
Thanks! I have added the ico image in multiple places in the past and I just can’t get it to work. So, I may take you up on the offer. It may just be the theme I’m using, but who knows? Definitely a todo for this weekend!
Great list of things to do Danielle! Thanks for hosting a challenge and for supporting the Bloggiesta!
Wow, you’ve got a lot of great links here which are hugely helpful to a relatively new blogger like me. Thanks for this.

Great list of “to do’s” have fun!

Now I need to add in ordering business cards to my list — what a great idea to do! Thanks and I’ll be back to do your mini-challenge tomorrow!

My favicon won’t work either – it used to and when I go check the steps again, it looks like it SHOULD work… I don’t know if I have footers, either. when what I really want to do is cheer and comment – not do the techie stuff. But that’s the point, right? Happy bloggiesta!!
It looks like you’ve got some great plans in place. I hope you get a lot done.
