When I started seeing blogs and twitter posts about Bloggiesta,
I was intrigued. I am definitely new to
blogging and am always looking for ways to connect and improve. As I started reading other bloggers 'To-Do-Lists' for
Bloggiesta, I knew it was for me.
Nervously I lurked and read and thought about my own personal blogging to do
list. Deciding I was ready for a
challenge and had some time this weekend to devote, I am jumping in! First, I am off to read what I can at the BloggiestaStarting Line. Whew!!! Great information there including the link to mini challenges. Okay, back to make my To Do List:
1. Make clear blog tags – Re-tag posts as necessary. 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.
2. Start list of To-Be-Read books and check availability at
library. Off to the library this afternoon!
3. Update GoodReads with reviews, links, and possibly
friends? Also set a GoodReads reading goal and post to blog. (Mini-Challenge) Check out my little reading goal! And, I did as much as I could as far as updating Goodreads with reviews. I will continue to work on it.
4. Visit new blogs participating in Bloggiesta and
leave quality comments. (Mini-challenge) I have worked hard to visit and leave comments. I also have been loving the comments left by my fellow Bloggiestas here. (Thanks!)
5. Also add a few new blog links to my Book Blogs list from
Bloggiesta participants. I added a few, but I only follow KitLit and YA book blogs, so if I missed your blog and you fit that catagory, feel free to leave me a note in the comments here. :)
6. Find library and e-reader archive of books I read and
forgot about since January.
7. Research Post on Math Literacy. (So excited about this one)
8. Consider
Navigation tabs. (Might be more of a
long term goal) I am thinking ... no. :(
9. Enjoy myself and make connections !!!!
10.Last Minute additions to the list. Not on my original list but inspired by other Bloggiesta's ideas: I've also participated in the TweetChats, added some HUGE buttons to my page, visited the library, reserved some books, and have a few reviews/topics to write about for the next month. (That's as far ahead as I like to work!)
10.
I am jumping in with both feet, so wish me luck.
YAY! Glad you are doing this! I love it and try to connect whenever it is on. Have a blast this weekend!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goals :-) I'm loving seeing how everyone is tweaking their blog this weekend - already I'm getting so many ideas.
ReplyDeleteI am getting some good ideas too. There are a lot of ambitious To-Do-Lists ! I just hope to get organized and focused and meet some great people. I've already seen some great blogs.
DeleteI think this is a manageable list and you can do it! Good luck. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. :) I feel really good about what I have accomplished so far.
DeleteI think the "making connections" is one of my favorite parts! And I'm learning so much! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoyed finding new blogs (love yours btw!) and learning from other people. I think the bloggiesta features a really diverse group of bloggers with so many different strengths.
DeleteHi there Teacher! Glad to see a fellow teacher/mother/reader through Bloggiesta. We are also here to make connections and to learn as much as we can through the tutorials. I have updated my Goodreads but only to a certain extent. Haven't linked up my reviews yet. Perhaps during the next Bloggiesta? Haha. Good luck on some of your goals!
ReplyDeleteI feel like there should be an easier way to do all of the linking, connections, and such. If I can find a shortcut, I will be sure to share. :)
DeleteWill anxiously await your math lit post as ... (shh!) that is an area where I feel very nervous.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to it too. It's something so important and rarely discussed as a developmental stage. My background is all reading, but I am going to give it a shot. Thanks for stopping by my blog, I am a BIG fan of your blog. :)
DeleteOoh Math Literacy, you have me intrigued! I love Math and Literacy! I love your background!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Look for the Math Literacy post in about 2 weeks.
DeleteSeriously, just try to relax, go with the flow, and have fun. The to-do list is just a starting point and somewhere to come back to if/when you get stuck or bored with whatever you're working on. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see things checked off the list, isn't it? Going back to the list is a nice reminder or what you've done and what you still need to do.
DeleteCool! Looks like you are moving right along with your list! You are going to have to add some more Bloggiesta tasks I'm thinking! Anyway, hopefully you've been having a blast!
ReplyDeleteI did have a blast. Next Bloggiesta I will have to be more ambitious. I was just getting my feet wet since I am a new blogger. Thanks for the encouragement. You bloggiestas really inspire me.
DeleteWow! You have gotten so much done! that's awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I can take a deep breath now that its over.
