Winter 2015 Mini Bloggiesta Wrap-Up

Well, Winter Bloggiesta 2015 has come and gone and I feel pretty good about what I accomplished. Here is my list and what I did.

Here is my Bloggiesta ‘bucket list’!

• Back up blog!!!
• Backed up blog and imported into Wordpress using instructions from The Book Vixen. Apparently it just adds new posts to what was there from the last back-up. I DO need to back up the individual pages though. I didn’t realize that didn’t get included!
• Write and schedule at least 3 reviews
• Wrote 3-½ reviews! I still need to post them to the blog but the dates are on my calendar and they are ready to go!
• Update review page to link all reviews
• all reviews are linked to my index pages
• Cross post reviews to Goodreads and Library Thing
• my goal was only to catch up on all reviews posted since the last Bloggiesta. I still have some work to do to cross-post ‘old’ reviews, and truthfully, may never get to this!
• Link reviews to Pinterest
• DONE!
• Schedule WoW posts through through February
• completed and scheduled on blog
• Schedule Tuesday Memes posts through February
• completed and scheduled on blog
• Start February Reading Map post
• just need to make minor adjustments, depending on how much reading I do in the next 10 day!
• Create one On My Radar post
• created and posted!
• Bookmark at least two mini-challenges to complete before the next Bloggiesta
• I actually did much more with this than I expected! I did bookmark two that I want to work with later:
• Making Infographics Using Piktochart from Valeria at A Touch of Book Madness (@ TouchBookMadnes)
• Five Easy Steps to an Index Page from Jessica at The Bluestocking Society (@thebluestocking) (This is going to come in handy!)
• But I also actually worked with three more!
• Master List of Book Blogging Memes from Tanya Patrice at GirlXOXO (@tanyapatricexo) — I read through this one and it has some good ideas. I won’t necessarily participate in these regularly, but there are some GREAT ideas for future blog posts there!
• Another Pinterest Project from Suey at It’s All About Books (@SueySays) — I already have a board where I pin my reviews, so I didn’t exactly use her guidelines, but I DID create two NEW Pinterest boards; one for pinning my Tuesday Memes and the other for Waiting on Wednesday!
• How to Write More Creative Book Reviews from Leah at Books Speak Volumes (@Leah_BSV) — the timing on this one was great because it actually addressed the last item on my To Do list!
• Make a list of non-review post topics
• I bookmarked the More Creative Book Review minichallenge I mentioned just above and used it to generate a list of ideas for future posts….stay tuned!

I feel like I had a pretty successful Bloggiesta! How about you? Did you participate. Be sure to link up your wrap-up post here!
