I set out to do many things and I did some of them and got sidetracked and did many others as so often happens with these events. In the end here's what I actually managed to get done:
- Add the share buttons to the bottom of my blog posts.
- Create a monthly giveaway post and figure out how to embed google docs within those posts.
- I cleaned up my whole blog. I hope you find it easier to navigate. I felt it was kind of cluttered. I wanted to make the actual blog posts bigger and I also felt that I didn't need to have all of the challenge buttons on my home page when I have a whole Challenge Page dedicated to them. Let me know what you think!
- I edited my review policy. I think it's clearer now! Let me know what you think! (This was also a flashback mini-challenge which gave some great tips!)
- Backed up my blog (Jackie has a great Flashback Mini-Challenge if you don't know how to do this yet. I promise it's really easy!).
- I took some advice to heart on how to organize my review books when I participated in Jenn's Mini-Challenge.
- I finally learned how to use Mr. Linky thanks to Jennifer's Mini-Challenge which I will need for an up-coming post.
- I really needed to clean out my feedreader and thank's to Rebecca's Flashback Mini-Challenge she reminded me to do so!
- Can you believe I just now figured out how to add a photo to my Google Friend Connect image when I follow a blog? Seriously and that was all on my own!
- Pam reminded me to check my copyright via this Flashback Mini-Challenge!
- As boring as it is, thanks to Karin's Flashback Mini-Challenge I knew I needed to go on a hunt for some dead links and fix them!
- Thanks to Ruth's Flashback Mini-Challenge I had my blog analyzed and increased my blog grade by upping my Search Engine Optimization! The things I learn during Bloggiesta!
- Commented on lots of new-to-me blogs!
I hope you had lots of success this weekend too!
Wow, sounds like it was a productive weekend over there!
ReplyDeleteWow, you had an amazing weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great/productive weekend! Congrats on everything that you accomplished! I'm so glad you participated, because that's how I found your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job! It looks like you learned a lot and accomplished much!
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge amount of achievement! I like the blog rearrangement - much less crowded.
ReplyDeleteawesome! Your blog looks sleek and clean - I prefer blogs that are simple and white background. Your review policy is very clear - kudos. I am impressed with all the techie things you did! not that I have any idea if you are good at or like them, it's just I'm not too motivated but should myself. In fact, I think I will go do a Mr. Linky tutorial and add it to my *new* and **improved** Cusack Reading Challenge (that is not yet new and improved - I'm trying to psych myself up to do this)
ReplyDeleteAND... Would you like to be my blogging buddy? or do you think I should find someone with WP? I had a buddy that quit blogging. :(
Great job! Things look great. It's good to be productive, now if I only got have a look at my lables
ReplyDeleteGreat Job!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on accomplishing a lot of things this weekend! I'm going to check out that mini-challenge for backing up your blog because I need to do that.
ReplyDeleteWow, you got so much done! It looks great. Hope to see you for the summer Bloggiesta. ^_^
ReplyDeleteWow, I really need to participate next time. There is so much "housekeeping" I need to do around my blog. Glad you were so productive, it must feel GREAT!
