Bloggiesta…My Results.

Over the weekend, I participated in my first Bloggiesta and it was so much fun! Yesterday, I was an epic fail at finishing my Bloggiesta list but I’m not too mad about it since I got a lot of the things that I wanted to do out of the way.

Here’s my list of things I planned to do:

• 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.
• 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.
• Update TBS spreadsheet.
• Post partial reviews on Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Good Reads and Shelfari for all reviews.
• ETA: Get TBS signed up for more directories.
• ETA: Comment on more blogs.
• ETA: Update Blogroll.

My thoughts on how I did:

• As far as reviews go, I’m up to date on all of the reviews that I needed to write and I started up posts for reviews that I’d like to write on this blog so I’m happy about that.
• I cleaned up all the tags and labels so I was pretty darn happy about that as well because it was a pain.
• I updated my Twitter, my Good Reads and Facebook accounts which was another pain in my butt but it’s done so woo hoo!
• I read through the Blogging Tips page on the Ning page and it had a lot of ideas and great advice. I even made notes and saved them for future references. This makes me happy.
• I made business cards for both this blog and my Book Binge blog and then I signed up for different blog directories, posted partial reviews on B&N, Good Reads and Shelfari. I tried posting reviews on Amazon but it kept stuffing up so I gave up on that. I’ll get back to it eventually, everywhere else…I’m all reviewed up.
• My biggest accomplishment over the weekend was commenting on blogs. I was very happy with the amount of blogs that I visited and the new to me blogs that I found thanks to Bloggiesta. There were amazing blogs that I’ve been missing out on so thanks to Natasha over at Maw’s Books for hosting this wonderful blogging event because it got me out there and finding new blogs.

Overall, I’m thinking that my first Bloggiesta was a total hit and I can’t wait to participate in the next one. It was a great way to spend the weekend!

I spent a total hours of 19 hours on Bloggiesta. Good stuff!

How did everyone else do?
