Bloggiesta - To Do List


My first Bloggiesta starts tomorrow! Once I started thinking of things to improve on my blog, I couldn't stop, so I now have a rather huge to do list. I hope that by the end of this weekend, this blog will have seen some nice improvements!

  • Add Goodreads links to all reviews, and to my review template.
  • Add Book Depository links to all reviews, and to my review template.
  • Go through all posts and add links between them wherever necessary.
  • Go through all posts and make sure they have all the right categories.
  • Catch up on my reviews.
  • Catch up on copying my reviews over to Goodreads. DONE!
  • Change my bold headers on my monthly wrap-ups to actual HTML headers. DONE!
  • Add Random Reads line to my monthly wrap-ups. DONE!
  • Move at least 3 blogs in my pending category in Google Reader either to my Books category (book bloggers that I lurve) or out of my Google Reader (book bloggers who are probably cool but we have nothing in common).
  • Check out a few other blogs that are participating in Bloggiesta and comment/add them to pending on Google Reader.
  • Update my little blog roll thingy on my sidebar that I always forget is there.

Bloggiesta


Bloggiesta is one of those blogging events that I've seen, but never participated in, in this case mostly because I'm confused by the name and the sombrero. But, it does seem like a good idea, so I'll be joining in this time. Basically, it's a weekend (September 28 - 30) spent improving your blog. I haven't made my to do list yet, but it will include improving the links between posts on my blog, as well as adding Goodreads and Book Depository links to reviews.

If you can think of anything that could be improved on The Towering Pile, please let me know! Whether my blog looks funny in certain browsers, is hard to read in your feed reader, is missing some organisational thing that you would find useful, etc... I want to know about it!

Are you participating in Bloggiesta? What are your goals?
