Bloggiesta Wrap Up


Here is my Bloggiesta Wrap-Up.  To find out more about Bloggiesta and see other blogs that took on the Bloggiesta challenge, visit here and here.

What was I able to get done:
  • I decided to completely delete all my tags and start fresh.  I am kinda pleased.  I did cringe at some of my older posts though.  Ha.
  • I made a To-Be-Read list, plus a list of books I need to review.
  • I also made some oversized buttons and posted my GoodReads goal.
  • I’ve also visited and commented a ton.  Its been great to see everyone’s blogs!
  • I started my post about Math Literacy.  Look for it to be posted in about 2 weeks.  :)
How you feel the event went:
I enjoyed it, but … whew a lot of work!  I also see that many of my fellow bloggiestas are amazing .  I am so inspired by them.  I don’t know that I would be able to devote this much time in a weekend normally to blogging.  I might have ignored housework.  Oops. 
The best new thing you learned:
Something I am anxious to use is the blockquote HTML code.
Suggestions:
No suggestions at this time.  I was happy just to get my feet wet.  I would just say, I hope bloggers can be gracious when replying to blog comments.  I also try to treat my blog guests as GUESTS since they are just guests visiting my site.


Thank You to the hosts of Bloggiesta and all the participants. Hopefully I will see you all in September.

    1. Oh well. Look what's waiting for me: laundry, dishes, dusting, and vacuuming. I was happy to take a little break from housework, getting so much accomplished for my blog.

    1. Yes! The tags were bothering me so much. It was just something I knew I needed to fix. When Bloggiesta came around I knew it was the perfect push to make the change.

    1. Yay! I guess I am lucky I only had 5 months and 60 posts to sort through. I was a little nervous when my first step was to delete everything, but now I happy with the result.

  5. The buttons look great! I also love learning all the html code I can - who would have known that starting a blog would end up teaching me all this stuff!

    Congrats on getting so much done!
