Bloggiesta



Okay, I wasn't going to do it.  But, last minute, I think I'll give it a shot.


What are my Bloggiesta goals?





  • Think about a new template.  I really love this one, but, so many people use it.  Maybe I need something more unique.
  • Complete some entries on a stack of picture books I have waiting for me, that I didn't tackle during last week's 48-Hour Reading Challenge.
  • Write up a list post.
  • Take part in some mini-challenges.
  • Clean-up some tags, hunt for broken links, including broken images.
  • Check out some other book blogs, catch up on reading blogs.
  • Make some business cards.


That's about it, really.  I don't think I'll push myself as hard as I did for the 48-Hour Reading Challenge.  Check back for my progress post on Sunday!

  1. Madigan-thank you for your suggestions-I have done that-but lost all my original color schemes-I think that since I changed and saved the colors the old ones are gone-am I right. Next question is the layout of the text-my text reads more like narrow paragraphs vs. see www.sidewalkshoes.blogspot.com her text is spread out-how do I get my text more spread out if you know.

    thanks

  2. I know the feeling about wanting your own unique look. That's how I feel about my templates. When I can afford a new one, I'll get one.

    Good luck on your to do list. Happy BLoggiesta!

  3. I just changed my look. I know there is probably lots of people that use it but I am pretty happy with it:) I am in the middle of going through google reader and that is a job. I really need to start looking at that every day:) Good luck this weekend!

  4. I decided to join the Bloggiesta at the last minute, too. It is the first time I am participating and am getting some stuff done. I have a similar dilemma to you - I like the look of my blog, but feel it is not meeting my needs at times. Now I am trying to decide if I should change it or just leave it. What have you decided?

    Have a good weekend!

  5. I started with this very same template back in the day...and remain rather fond of it.

    Good luck meeting your goals!

  7. @Esme Rats! I hope you get that figured out. As far as I know, you can't adjust column widths in the old template... the new templates do have that feature however. Well... that's not true. If you edit the HTML directly, I think you can take care of it that way.

    @Kristin I think I'm stickin' with this for now. I got some great headway on figuring out how to change it later if I want to though. I'll post more about that later tonight.

    @Charlotte Thanks! I really like your current blog design. The nebula is so distinctive, and the text is easy to read. ;)

    @Elizabeth I checked out your blog today, and I agree. I think I could read the same story over and over and over again, and never grow weary of it. "Young person discovers they have supernatural powers. Adventures ensue." lol.
