A bit of a late start to Bloggiesta for me – I was planning on doing something yesterday evening, but after a rather stressful week at work, all I wanted to was collapse on the sofa with a book. So much for Friday.
I’m easing myself into Bloggiesta by scanning the list of mini-challenges (seriously impressed, btw).
Here are the ones I want to try:
- A very timely mini-challenge on Twitter by Katie @ Katie’s Book Blog. I’ve set up my brand-new account (@meandmybooks) – now to figure out how to actually use it…
- SEO has always puzzled me and April @ Good Books and Good Wine has a beginners’ guide up
- I had a minor panic the other day when my laptop showed the blue screen of death – I promptly rushed out to get a external backup drive. Now I should probably do the same for my blog – Jackie @ Farm Lane Books explains how to back up your blog
- Janicu’s doing a Goodreads challenge - I thought I knew how Goodreads worked, but there are some new-to-me tricks there!
- A comments challenge by Sheila @ Book Journey – part of the reason I’m taking part in Bloggiesta is to discover new blogs
- Charlotte @ Charlotte’s Library’s talks about how themed pages work for her blog - something for me to ponder
Okay, I may be a bit ambitious there… but there is so much excellent information in these mini-challenges. Time to stop talking and start doing…
YAY for ambition! I think my to do list is a bit tasking as well… but hey, I am going to give it a shot
Glad you are doing the comment challenge! Have fun!
I’m looking forward to discovering new blogs – thanks for hosting! And yes, it’s all about the aiming high thing, isn’t it?
Everything sounds really interesting, Li! I’ll be taking close looks to all those links
Especially the backing-up of the blog!
Ugh, blue screen of death. Booo. Hope it was just a one-time deal.
And congrats for achieving the first item on your list! LOL, were you feeling a bit rebel?
I like the colors 
There are even more mini-challenges on the main pages I linked to – I had to be a bit ruthless and limit the number I wanted to do…
Yep, it might be time for a new laptop. It’s been behaving so far (touch wood!) but it’s pretty old now.
I’ve been ticking off the easy to-dos
I am very much in the mood for bright colours, they’re in this season! I may actually tweak it a bit more as I’ve just been inspired by the neon-neutral trend…
I’ve completed one challenge so far: Pinterest. I’m working on the comments challenge. I definitely should do how to write reviews faster as most of my time has been spent writing reviews. Hope you have productive day tomorrow.
I skipped the Pinterest one – I don’t think I could handle yet another site at the moment! And I am totally with you on the reviews thing.
