Bloggiesta Update — Day 2

This morning was very unproductive for me. I didn't get very much accomplished, at all. I watched Twitter update, compulsively checked my email, visited the bloggers who came to my site and started about 5 posts that I just saved for later because I couldn't concentrate. I can claim, 1, maybe 2 hours of productivity here.

However, after I got home from my grandmother's 85th birthday party, I was a lot more productive. I:

  • created a flavicon for my blog (see me?! How cool is that!:) ) . (Hey Lady)
  • copyrighted my blog (and seriously wished I had done it sooner, because I don't know a way to back track for my 2010 posts)
  • graded my website and have started looking into ways to boost my rating (Bookish Ruth)
  • updated my Review Policy, my About Me page, and my review listing. (Devourer of Books)
  • re-signed up for Google Alerts (Emily's Reading Room)
  • changed all my old post titles to Review: Name of Book, Author, which makes everything uniform and easier to find, and will make future posts easier to plan.
  • updated GR. it now has all the reviews from my blog. (I wasn't missing that many... Yay!)
  • visited 10 or so new Bloggiesta bloggers, read all their About Me pages (if they had them) and left comments! Both on reviews and their Bloggiesta posts!
After the birthday party, I think I spent about 6 or 7 productive hours getting things done.:)
Tomorrow, I would like to:
  • create a button for ME and for Memory Monday
  • add a share bar to my posts
  • look into the Other Posts You Might Like Widget (any suggestions?)
  • convert my RSS feed.
  • actually finish writing up some new posts and Memory Monday ideas. I probably won't get 9 reviews, but I'd like to write up at least 4 more reviews.
  • finish visiting the blogs I follow
  • visit new blogs, plan to visit even more
  • clean out my email
  • read...

art, Bloggiesta, book, challenge, and more:
