Bloggiesta - September 2013

Bloggiesta was mentioned on a couple of book blogs I follow and it sounds like a cool thing so I'm going to participate in the one coming up this weekend. Here's the official 411:
"In short, Bloggiesta is a blogging marathon revolving around ticking off those items on your to-do list and improving your blog while in the good company of other awesome bloggers doing the same thing. Our awesome mascot Pedro (Plan. Edit. Develop. Review. Organize) is ready to break out the nachos, enchiladas, drinks, mariachi music and whack a pinata or two! It’s nothing short of an awesome fiesta!"

Here is my bloggiesta to-do list:
  • Participate in at least one of the Twitter chats (probably Friday, 9/20 at 9pm Eastern)
  • Finish the Queens of Crime page I started ages ago 
  • Check out the mini-challenges and complete at least one
  • Visit other bloggiesta participants and see what cool things I can learn that will improve my blogs
  • Make enchiladas for dinner one night (not really on task, but I was inspired)
  • Compile a list of blogging stuff I want to do/learn more about in the near future

  2. Good luck Mary, I've never taken part in Bloggiesta but it does seem like a fun event. Plus usually people get a lot done :)

    1. It is fun, and I am learning a ton of stuff. It happens several times a year (mini ones and regular ones) and is worth checking out.

  3. I would love to participate in a Twitter chat too, so hope everything aligns that way. And the mini- challenges are all really informative!

  6. Very awesome goals! And do-able! I'm just determined to stick with it the whole weekend- I normally fade after day one, but not this time!

    Hope to see you on Twitter chat!

    1. Thanks! I will share, but it is one of those terrible recipes that depends on having things in the freezer that almost no one has (smoked pork from a pig roast earlier this summer).

  11. What a great and fun list. I like that you added that you are making a list for things to do/learn about in the future, too. Great idea.

    Have to admit I got distracted by the enchilada idea. Yum!

  12. I love that you put making a list on your list, too! And the enchiladas. Hubby on low carb diet here and doing so well, so no enchiladas for us. Maybe by the Spring 2014 Bloggiesta!
    Good luck!!

  13. Wish I had time to join in as it does sound like fun. Throughout the year, I do tweak my blog and pages, and change templates every so often for variety. I'll read some Bloggiesta participants though to see what new things they do.
