I’ve been procrastinating on blog maintenance issues for a week now, saying that “I’ll do that during Bloggiesta” so I really should get started on doing something now that Bloggiesta is here! I’m back from work at the library and ready for a weekend.
Here’s my running list of things to do. I’ll cross it off as I made progress, I’ll add to the list, and on Sunday I’ll post a wrap-up of how much time I ended up spending and what I got done. I rarely have a lot of time to work on my blog during the weekend, so I’m really only hoping for about six hours, although I’d love ten hours.
I may continue my own Bloggiesta on Monday if I don’t get a lot done now!!

P.S. Sorry for the double-post today. I really wanted to get that review up, and since I didn’t have much to say about Housman, it seemed like it would not overwhelm you all. I don’t intend to post before Sunday night but I might have my 2009 year in review up tomorrow!
ETA: Friday night, almost midnight. I’ve just spent about 8 hours this afternoon/evening/night doing a few things on the list. And it’s barely dented. I may not get much more time this weekend but then again I might!
ETA: Monday night, 8:30. I spent another 1 or 2 hours on Saturday, no time on Sunday and about 2 1/2 hours today. Slowly and surely. I shouldn’t have procrastinated it all!
Good Luck! I’m doing Bloggeista for the first time and hope I can get 6 hours in too.
You’ve got a lot of great goals! I hope you get a lot accomplished!
It’s funny that you’ve been putting off blog maintenance, and I’ve been really restraining myself! I have wanted to do maintenance for the last two weeks but kept saying, No, I have to wait until Bloggiesta!
That’s an impressive list of things to accomplish! Good luck 🙂
Thank you so much for fiesting with us!!! Good luck on your list.
Good luck with your list, Rebecca.
Looks like you are off and running! have super fun with this!
Good luck! This sounds like fun!
Good luck with all your goals. I can’t wait to read your explanations about your personal challenges.
Thanks for all the encouragement! I’m making progress!!
