It’s Bloggiesta time! This will be my first year participating and I’m so excited! Bloggiesta is basically a blogging fiesta (hence the name) and participants make a list of goals to accomplish during the four-day extravaganza while going around meeting other bloggers and joining in on live chats and mini-challenges! Here’s my Spring Bloggiesta to-do list:
- Add more pages
- Edit my sidebar
- Write/schedule 3 reviews
- Comment on other Bloggiesta participants’ blogs
- Participate in some challenges
- Participate in at least one Twitter chat
I’m so excited to get started and I can’t wait to meet new bloggers! Are you participating in the Bloggiesta? Feel free to leave your blog link and I’ll come check your blog out!
**Update March 30th, 2014**
I think I accomplished quite a lot in these four days! I didn’t get to write/schedule as many reviews as I had hoped, but I’m really happy with everything else that I got done. Participating in Twitter chats was one of my favourite parts! I met a lot of fellow bloggers and learned a lot. Thank you to everyone who commented and/or offered me valuable advice and thank you to the team at Bloggiesta for hosting! I will definitely be participating again. See you next time 🙂
One More Page... 
Writing reviews is a popular goal this time around! I know it is one MY list! Good luck!
Yeah, I guess writing reviews are the tasks that take the most mental energy so it’s good to have some written/scheduled in advance for when things get busy in real life! I just checked out your site – love the Talk 2 Me posts! Hope to see you around during Bloggiesta and have fun!!
Looks like you have a busy weekend ahead! Good luck!

Thank you! It’ll be busy but productive, hopefully! Thanks for stopping by!
Looks like a great list, and not too overwhelming! Good luck!
Thank you! Since it’s my first time I figured I’d start out slow and do more if I can 🙂 Thanks for commenting!
I need to add more pages too. I feel like there’s a weird empty space on the top of my blog…
Same! I’m hoping to add at least 2 pages to make it fuller. My blog is relatively new though so I don’t have much!
I hear ya, mine is new too. Shannon at RCR suggested doing a review index, and though it’s a little labor intensive I think it’s a good idea!
I think I’m going to do that! It’ll make it easier for readers to find the reviews they’re looking for. I’m probably going to categorize it by author. (Fun fact: Reading Shannon’s blog is what made me sign up!)
Good luck with your list! Do you know what Twitter chat you want to participate in? I think I’m going to join in with either the social media or technical chat.
Yeah, I really want to check out the social media one! What’s your twitter handle? I’ll follow you! (Mine’s twitter.com/karenfma)
I love your “add more pages” be careful to to add too many, you may have to take them down. I am debating removing my giveaways page, I never use it
Good luck!
Ooh, thanks for the tip! Do you think too many pages are too hard to keep track of? I want my banner to be more full but I don’t want to have to take them down later…
Sometimes they are a pain, I have one for reviews by author that if I don’t stay on top of can be a hassle later. But sometimes they are great to find things in for both myself and I think readers too. Regardless see what works for you – maybe add one or two and see how they go, it is not super difficult to remove them if you have to later 🙂 Good luck!
Yeah, I could see how that could get tedious. I just uploaded a TBR page and am planning to put up a Review Archive… hopefully it’s not too overwhelming! Thanks for your input!
Great plans! 🙂 I’m hoping to write three reviews as well. Good luck with all your goals, I hope you manage to do them all this week!
Here’s my to-do list
Thank you! Good luck with your goals as well – Happy Bloggiesta! 😀
Great list! I know you can check off Twitter chat, now, because I saw you there!
Hehe yup! And it was FUN! Thanks for stopping by 😀
We have two “to do’s” the same. 🙂
Editing sidebars and commenting on other bloggers’ blogs. I never can do challenges…I admire you for that.
Have fun. I have one and a half things done. 🙂

My Bloggiesta List
Why can’t you do challenges? I did the PicMonkey challenge and it was quite easy! I used it for my TBR Pile page. How did Bloggiesta go for you? Hope you accomplished a lot!
It is too stressful for me to do challenges. 🙂
That’s fair. I think I only ended up doing the one. Hope you had a good Bloggiesta though! Thanks for commenting 🙂
Congrats on all you got done! Love the TBR page- Very cute idea 🙂
Thank you so much! I’m still working on those posts but I’m happy with what I’ve accomplished 🙂
