Mini Bloggiesta Goals & Wrap-Up!
2 February, 2013
The very first mini-bloggiesta is upon us! Bloggiesta is an event to help bloggers to get their blogs up-to-date doing any behind-the-scenes work that they’ve been too busy to do (i.e., writing reviews, clearing out sidebars, etc). And for this mini-bloggiesta I have even hosted my own challenge! (Marketing Your Blog)
I don’t have a lot of time this weekend (hence why this post is also so late!) but I hope to achieve a few things;
- Make a dent in my review-writing pile. I currently have over 30 reviews to write and it’s starting to weigh on me. I hope to get this down to at least 15 if I can!
- Cross-post all my reviews & Update Review Archives. It just needs to be done.
Update my sidebars a little. A few old things need to be changed around
I will cross them off the list as I do them :-)
What are your goals?
Wrap-Up
I didn’t quite manage to reach all of my goals, I had a bit of a graphic-making day yesterday instead but I did;
- Write 5 and a half reviews
- Crosspost all reviews to Goodreads & most to my archive
- Update my sidebars
- Schedule tweets!
- Schedule three posts this week!
- Make site graphics for a customer of my Graphics Shop
How did you do?

Good luck with your housecleaning! Sending lots of writing vibes your way!

Thanks! I hope it goes well! But I always start well and then fail :-( Ah well!
Kelsey
Good luck with all those reviews! My goals are pretty much archive updating and adding reviews to other sites. :)
Faye (Daydreaming_Star)
Thanks Kelsey!
I didn’t manage to get them all written but I did more than I would normally which was good!
Hope your goals went okay! :)
Vicky Hooper
Ooh, sounds like an interesting event! Good luck with your goals :-) I really need to cross-post some reviews too, getting very behind on that one!
Faye (Daydreaming_Star)
It is! There’s a full bloggiesta in March, a weekend dedicated to blog maintenance, you should see if you have time to join next time :-)
Yeah, it’s just difficult because you can’t schedule them like blog posts! lol.
Fay
Small blogosphere with two Faye’s! Good luck with your bloggiesta :D
Faye (Daydreaming_Star)
I think there are a few more, but it’s nice to meet another :D
Thanks, good luck to you too (or, well done now I suppose!) hehe.
Tanya Patrice
Good luck getting some blog stuff done this weekend – that’s a lot of reviews to be written :-)
Faye (Daydreaming_Star)
Thanks for the luck! I didn’t get it all done but I did do a fair amount so I’m happy! :)
Clover
Oh, good luck with this! I love the idea of Bloggiesta, I just never seem to be aware of when the next ones are coming up…
Faye (Daydreaming_Star)
Thanks for the luck! The next one is March 22-24th! Mark it in your diary noow :D
Hollie @ Music, Books and Tea
Woo, review writing! That’s my main goal for this weekend too. Good luck with reaching your goals! :D
Faye (Daydreaming_Star)
Thanks Hollie! I didn’t quite reach them but I definitely wrote more than I would have so I’m happy! Hope it went well on your end!
Carina (Reading Through Life)
Yikes! You’re the first person I’ve seen who’s behind on more reviews than I am. :-( I only got 6 reviews posted this weekend (out of 20 or so that I was behind), but it’s a start! I hope you’ll get more of them written than I did. :-)
Faye (Daydreaming_Star)
Ahh, I’m a disaster story really. A lot are still from my uni days :( but I managed to write less than you so that’s good. Haha.
Hope we both manage to clear them a bit soon! Thanks for commenting :)

Congrats! You accomplished a lot, and isn’t it fun when everyone else is doing stuff, too.
Here’s MY BLOGGIESTA FINISH LINE POST
Tanya @ Mom's Small Victories
Great job on all you got done! I always end up with more goals than I can reasonably accomplish. I am impressed you got posts and tweets scheduled. I am usually just writing for immediate posting and need to build up my reserves to schedule posts. For Bloggiesta, at least I got one of my bucket list reading books reviewed and cross posted to all the challenges so that felt like a big accomplishment for me! Hope to see you at full Bloggiesta! I’ll be in touch through Facebook :)
Hollie @ Music, Books and Tea
You did great this weekend! :D Five and a half reviews is nothing to be sneezed at, for sure! Scheduling stuff is fun too, it makes me feel incredibly accomplished, haha. Great job this weekend!
Faye (Daydreaming_Star)
Thanks Hollie! I agree, I would never have written that many without Bloggiesta’s help!
Lettie
I loved your challenge!
Well done- You got a lot done this weekend!
I completely failed on the reviewing writing goal but I did get a lot of my goals done :)
Have a lovely week!
Faye (Daydreaming_Star)
Thanks! Hope it helped you out some!
Yay for getting goals done though!
Have a lovely week yourself :)
