Pedro’s back and ready to help bloggers everywhere get organized and spend some time working on that blogging to-do list that never seems to go away!  (Remember, Pedro stands for Plan.  Edit.  Develop.  Review.  Organize.)  I wasn’t planning on participating this weekend, but as it stands, I have some free time since Jim is still in Texas.  Here’s my list of things I hope to accomplish this weekend.

  1. Reviews
  2. Ohio Moms’ Blog articles
  3. Challenges Page
  4. Sidebar Updates
  5. Organize Google Reader
  6. Check links (Previous mini-challenge: Karin from Karin’s Book Nook (@kperry)– The dreaded 404 error pages.  It’s time to go on a dead link hunt!)
  7. Grade blog (Previous mini-challenge: Ruth from Bookish Ruth (@bookishruth)– Have you ever had your blog anaylzed?  Now’s the chance!)
  8. Change Twitter name to reflect the new blog title 
  9. Rainy day posts
  10. BBAW post for registration
  11. Link to Ohio Moms’ Blog
  12. Mini-challenge #1:  Kim and Jackie at the Blog Improvement Project (@kimthedork and @farmlanebooks) – Take a step back and view your blog as a whole.  Where do you want to go from here?  On goals and analyzing your blogs (I’d do this one early and first).
  13. Mini-challenge #2:  Jennifer at Girls Gone Reading (@girlsgonereadin)- Do you have a review policy?  Do you even need or want one?
  14. Mini-challenge #3:  Sarah at Puss Reboots (@pussreboots) – What is RSS and how to make it so your feed is easily discoverable.
  15. Mini-challenge #4:  Pam from MotherReader (@MotherReader) – Be brave in your writing and push the limits of what your comfortable with.
  16. Mini-challenge #5:  Danielle at There’s a Book (@the1stdaughter) – Do you know what programs you can use to discover your stats and what the heck do they mean anyways?
  17. Mini-challenge #6:  Cass at Bonjour Cass (@bonjourcass) – It’s often said the best part of book blogging is the community.  Go discover them in this commenting challenge!
  18. Clean out Google reader!
  19. Back up blog.
  20. ?

Unlike last time, I will most likely just keep crossing items off the list as I accomplish them.  Check back and see how well I do!

Ready, set, Bloggiesta!!

    I did! I would have gotten more done, but I have been making sure I work on this throughout the year. It's a tad bit easier to do so, especially for the redesigning projects!

    Oh, it looks more impressive than it really is. The reviews I wrote yesterday are not the greatest, but at least I have something written. I doubt I am going to get much accomplished today though. But my feed reader is empty! That is such a relief!

    Kim – I think the list looks more intimidating than it really is! But I feel like I have accomplished quite a bit!

    To be fair, most of them were not *that* difficult. I will have to do most of it again when I change blog designs and web address.

    Thanks! I'm experiencing a bit of burnout right now, so I think it's time to step away from the computer. LOL!

    That's what I'm most afraid of. But seeing as how I will be watching soccer all weekend, I can multi-task, right?
