Bloggiesta Update #2

Right, I’m calling it a day now.  After a rather late start and various distractions, here’s what I’ve done so far.

From my to-do list:

1) Sort out a new blog header: I basically re-ran my blog through Wordle, and picked out a new colour and font.  It’s much brighter than my old header – more spring-like, or so I like to think!  I’m going for the neon/neutral trend, which I really like.

2) Work on my Goodreads reviews: In progress – I’ve done about eight today, and have about 15 more to go if I want to finish off my 2011 books.  Yeah, I know.

3) Cross-post my Goodreads reviews over here: Also in progress – I’ve done a couple.  I think I’ll aim for two more.

4) Update my About Me page: Nope, untouched – one for tomorrow, I think!

5) Write some blog posts: Also one for tomorrow…

6) Twitter (possibly): I’m on Twitter (@meandmybooks) and trying to figure out what to do with it!  Tips, anyone?

And the mini-challenges:

• Twitter (Katie @ Katie’s Book Blog): Err… I did set up my blog posts to publish automatically via dlrv.it, watched it do one, and then deleted it as I decided to try and give the WordPress functionality a go first (this may be the first post).  Does this count?
• SEO (April @ Good Books and Good Wine): Tomorrow!
• Backing up my blog (Jackie @ Farm Lane Books): Another one for tomorrow (I’m getting slightly worried now)
• Goodreads (Janicu @ Janicu’s Book Blog): Yes, done – yay!
• Comments (Sheila @ Book Journey): In progress – more tomorrow
• Themed pages (Charlotte @ Charlotte’s Library’s): Tomorrow, maybe.  This may be more of a long-term thing.

So two to-dos and two mini-challenges done, three being done, and five still to start tomorrow.  Progress of a sort, methinks.  It would help if I actually got up earlier.
