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:
Create your own banner at mybannermaker.com!

  • 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,
