It’s time for the spring Bloggiesta! Founded by Maw Books Blog, Bloggiestas are scheduled weekends where you catch up on long-ignored blog tasks. Now it’s being run by It’s All About Books and There’s a Book.
Bloggiesta is running this weekend, March 22-24. There will be 7 mini-challenges, focused on some exciting ways to get our blogging butts in gear. You can check in and offer advice for other bloggers and join discussions on Twitter during three scheduled chats. (Be sure to follow @Bloggiesta, and come find me @loganturner!)

A lover of words and sparkly things.
Wow! You have a lot to do.. and a lot of technical things at that! Here is my Bloggiesta List!
Angie
Let’s hope I can get through it all.
I’m participating for once. I’ll be sure to stop in.
Woot! I hope you enjoy it!
I created a blog planner/calendar after the last big bloggiesta and love it. It really helps keep me organized!
Good luck with your to-do list!

I think I’m going to go back and go through that mini-challenge from the last one. Thanks and good luck to you too!
I’m loving your list!
Do you know which Twitter chat you’re most likely going to participate in?
I thought you might like that. Heh.
I don’t know if I’ll be home for the one tonight, but I’m planning to do Saturday morning for sure and maybe Sunday too.
Logan there are a few things that I don’t quite understand on your goals list, whereabouts is your media library? Is that in your blog or on your computer? What’s the bloglovin footer button to draft templates?
I’ve clicked on the Language Management’s Blog Smarter Toolkit.

Have a great Bloggigesta weekend!
Hi Angelica! I’ll be cleaning out my media library in WordPress. When I upload images for posts it tends to duplicate them. Not sure why, but periodically I go through and get rid of the dupes so they don’t take up so much memory.
Bloglovin has a button/widget on their site that you can put at the bottom of posts to remind people to follow you there, so I want to grab that and save it to my post templates so I remember to use it.
I bought my copy of Blog Smarter, but haven’t gone through it yet. That’s a task for later today. Hope your Bloggiesta is going well so far!
How are you going to backup your blog? I want to do that, too, but I’m not sure what I’m going to do.
Here is my Bloggiesta To Do List!
I just download a backup file from my cPanel. Not that I have any idea how to install it again if anything did happen, mind you, but I feel better knowing I at least have it saved somewhere so I can ask someone smarter than me to help load it if need be.
Thanks for the reminder! I need to update my master lists, too! I hope you check out my Bloggiesta To Do List or join my mini-challenge about getting involved! Plus, you can knock that one out
Will do! Hope your Bloggiesta is going well!
You have a lot of good things on your list! I hope you’re having a fun and productive weekend
Happy Bloggiesta!
Thanks! Yesterday was really productive. Today…not so much. lol Hope yours is going well!
Good luck with your Bloggiesta goals, looks like you’re working on a lot this weekend. I love how you have your upcoming posts in your sidebars. Wish I was far enough ahead to be able to do that, I’m usually writing to publish posts immediately, I can’t seem to get ahead. I’ve added your blog to my Bloglovin reader.
Here’s my Bloggiesta list and updates if you’d like to stop by http://momssmallvictories.com/bloggiesta-2013-goals/
Have a great rest of the weekend!
Oh my gosh, thank you for the feedback about the upcoming post widget. I wasn’t sure if anyone ever really looked at it.
But it keeps me organized and I like to think it helps people know what’s coming up and whether there’s anything they want to try and come back to check out in the future. It’s linked to my Google Calendar, so it updates whenever I make changes to that. I’m never tied down to what it says, but it’s a nice framework.
Wow, that’s quite the list of goals! Good luck with that! My list was much shorter.
But I’m proud of what progress I’ve made, anyway.

This is definitely not all going to get accomplished today.
But I like to have this list floating around so I can come back to it, either in the next few months or for the next Bloggiesta. Hope your list is getting whittled down!
