Bloggiesta Wrap Up

I accomplished so much during this year's Bloggiesta! Although I did not get everything done off of my list, I got more done than I thought I would.

Here is what I accomplished:

• made my blog mobile friendly
•  Shadow of the Sun Review
• Graded my blog: Website grade: 91/100 Blog Grade:85/100 Twitter Grade:81/100
• The Replacement Review
• Posted the winner of my CSN Stores giveaway
• Updated my Review Archive page
• Updated Goodreads
• cleaned up reader
• cleaned up sidebars
• created a button for my blog for the Design Your Own Button Challenge. Now you can grab my button if you would like to:

• Cleaned my inbox out using tips from the Email best practices and solutions mini-challenge 
• Completed the 10 Things A Blogger Should Not Do Challenge from Hannah at Word Lily (you can read my post about it here)
• finished all of the mini challenges 
• IMM Post
• added all of my reviews to Amazon
• added all of my reviews to Random Buzzers
• redesigned my blog.
• added an About Me page
• created a Facebook Page for Swords for Fighting
• added a Facebook button
• added a Twitter button

Wow! That is a  lot of stuff I did. I actually can't believe it. In total, I spent (according to my calculations) 11 hours and 23 minutes working on my blog during Bloggiesta. (Hopefully I do well on my midterms! Yikes!)

Here is the list of things I wanted to do but never got to:

• Read Soul Stalker
• update profile
• clean up tags
• change my twitter name to match my blog
• check for dead links
• change twitter and goodreads picture to match blogger picture
• create a ratings system
• get a custom domain name
• add all books in a series to reviews
• add a signature to each blog post (I just noticed it disappeared! It probably happened when I redesigned my blog.)

Maybe my goal will be to do one of these things each week until I finish all of them.

Swords are for fighting,
