Maw Books Blog is hosting a blogging event called Bloggiesta and I’ve decided to participate. It seems like a pretty cool idea and the whole basis of the event is to get things organized and situated here at The Book Scoop.
Bloggiesta starts June 11th and will continue on until June 13th.
A short description of what Bloggiesta is, from Maw’s blog is this:
What is Bloggiesta? In short, it’s a blogging marathon. A opportunity to cross those nagging items off of your to-do list and improve your blog while in the good company of other awesome bloggers doing the same thing. Break out the nachos, enchiladas, drinks, mariachi music and whack a pinata or two!
Things that I’d like to check off my TO-DO list during Bloggiesta are:
- Write reviews.
- Write back up posts for a rainy day.
- Put out invitations for guest blogs/posts.
- Clean up tags, archives, books reviewed, etc.
- Add or edit your about me page, review policy, disclosure policy, privacy policy, create landing pages (for example – an about me for Twitter readers page) or any other pages you might have.
- Any bloggy type housekeeping that you’ve been neglecting.
- Make sure all of your social network profiles are up to date. Brand yourself through those profiles with color scheme, images, etc.
- Visit the Blogging Tips group on the Book Blogs Ning and find ways to improve your blog.
- Work on any specialized projects that you may have going.
- Make business cards.
- Post partial reviews on Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Good Reads and Shelfari.
Lots of things to do for the blog and I’m definitely going to have my hands full trying to get all these things set up but I’m pretty anxious and excited to start.
I’ll be writing up a post for the starting line post mentioned on Maw’s Blog.
Woo hoo, lots of challenges but I’m up for them!
Who else is participating?
Great list! Your blog is great as it is, but I guess you could improve if you want to. Have a great day!
Awww thanks so much Kirthi. I need to write up some reviews and posts for a rainy day, get some things organized and then I’ll be a happy camper. I’m lucky that I don’t need to sift through a bunch of posts since my blog is relatively new.
You’re participating in this as well right? Good luck!
*puts hand up* I’m participating! I should come up with a list like this so I’ll feel accomplished when I cross things off.
This sounds cool, but I’m totally too lazy to do this. LOL
But yeah, this blog is great as it is, Wena! Because you are awesome! 😛
Chachic,
Good luck on your bloggiesta activities!
Ames,
But you’ll feel so much better afterward. So accomplished. Awww, thanks sweetie. It’s a labor of love, that’s for sure.
