What an exciting weekend it has been! I have just taken part in my first Bloggiesta and have accomplished so much! I debated not attempting to do the Bloggiesta since my blog was only 7 days old, but I figured if I learned one thing from this event it would be worth it. And learn I did.
I concentrated not on fixing up my blog to make it look prettier but on doing the mini challenges. In doing these challenges I made my blog more productive. Here is a list of what I accomplished:
1. Creating lists and opinion pots: I wrote one opinion post and made a few lists for future posts
2. Learned about vanity alerts and tried this out
3. Elevator Pitch- wrote one up!
4. Blog Directories- registered in 2 of them
5. Blogging buddy- Found one!
6. Favicons and Gravatars- attempted to do a favicon, downloaded it and it has yet
to show up. I need to try this again.
7. Anchor text- Done!
8. Comment Challenge- This has been fun. I have enjoyed the new blogs I have been
to and will continue to do this.
9. Cheat sheet- Started one. I'm sure it will be a big help in the future.
10. Copyrights- Consider this done!
11. Backing up your blog- Not much here yet but I backed it up and now know how to
keep up with this
12. Blogger Mentoring- I signed up on the forum to become a mentee
13. Brainstorming blogging topics- This was fun and I came up with quite a few
ideas.
Whew! No wonder I am exhausted! I didn't get in as much time as I wanted to but all in all I spent 14 hours this weekend working on this. Head on over to Maw Books Blog and take a look at where you can go to complete these mini challenges as well as see all the ones I didn't get to.
Thanks to all who hosted these mini challenges and taught me so much. I can't wait for the next Bloggiesta. Ole!
