Bloggiesta update #1

Officially, the Bloggiesta challenge has been going on for over 24 hours, but I’ve only managed to work on it for 3 hours so far!

I haven’t finished writing any reviews yet (although I’ve worked on one), but I have (almost) completed three mini-challenges:

Emily’s Reading Room (updated my Google Alerts and created Technorati watchlists)

Devourer of Books (updated my 5 top posts as well as a handful of others; I’d like to do more for this mini-challenge if I have time)

Bookish Ruth (graded my blog using Website Grader, but still need to comment on Ruth’s blog)

I’m hoping to spend most of today bloggiesta-ing (!), so hopefully I can complete a few more mini-challenges AND cross lots of reviews off my list... Wish me luck!

    Very interesting idea for a challenge. I'll admit I should probably do something similar to this. It has been awhile since we changed out background haha. Good luck with it!

    I've managed to create Google alerts, which I didn't even know about,and get the website grader. But I could not manage the other mini-challenges that involved tech stuff. I'd love to know what my top posts are-probably just the givaways. lol You're doing well in only three hours of work. Stick to those reviews, you'll feel so good when they're done and behind you.

    Thanks, Padfoot & Prongs! I need to change my layout too, although I'm afraid to screw the whole thing up.

    Thank you, Cindy! (You can of course read it once I'm done with it!) I really need to get offline and work on my reviews...

    Sandra, I use Google Analytics to figure out my top posts (and I exclude giveaways when I figure out what they are). Thanks for the encouragement!

    Brogan, the updates are not that interesting if you've already seen the posts; all I'm doing is checking for typos and fixing links... But I'll let you know what they are if you still want to know!

    Thanks, Joanne!
