Bloggiesta: And so it begins! [Goals & Updates]

Friday, September 28, 2012 § 8 Comments


Bloggiesta is hosted by There's A Book and It's All About Books, and runs from September 28-30.
Here we go! It'll be my first time participating and I'm super pumped about this.

I spent some time at work putting together my to-do list (on my break, don't worry), and this post is subject to change any time, as I may add more items and/or do more mini-challenges as I go along. Eee, I'm already itching to start!

Completed Mini-Challenges, September 28
  • Just used Pocket to save the mini-challenges for this weekend, that way they'll be easily accessible on the go. I've also added some book reviews for new releases that I want to check out. This is such a handy app!
  • Read up on Blogger vs. Wordpress. This is something that I was debating over before starting my blog. Who knows, maybe as I get used to running this blog, I might want to make the switch. Definitely not ruling it out, especially after reading the post at Books, Biscuits, and Tea.
  • Evernote is an app that I downloaded about 2 years ago, but I really had no idea what to use it for or even how to use it. Now I have a reason to!
  • Updated my "About Me" page with more info about yours truly, as well as a list of some of my favourite books.
