Okay, posting this late, I know. By the end of the weekend, though, I was a bit blogged out!
SO I did about 14 hours.
- Got a new background.
- Lost my favicon. Where did that thing go?
- Improved the Website Grader score on this blog by at least 6 points.
- Added metatags and description and whatnot.
- Finished a book.
- Got the review written and ready for posting.
- Wrote a list post for a rainy day.
- Did a bunch of mini challenges.
- Spent a lot of time reading emails-- every time I comment on a blog, I try to remember to subscribe to receive emails of follow-up comments. As a result I had over 200 emails this weekend.
- Took the evil piece of metal out of my desk.
Mini Challenges Completed:
- Clean up your Feed reader!
- Google Alerts!
- Rainy Day Posts!
- Blogging Buddy!
- Favicons and Gravatars! Though now I have to redo my favicon.
- Elevator Pitch! It's short, but it works for me.
- Anchor Text Challenge!
- Website Grader Challenge!
- Tips and Tutorials Mini Challenge!
- Blog Directory Mini! I need to revisit this and do a couple more, though, I think.
- Blogging Buddy Mini! Hi Cari! (Go check out Bookscoops, they have a new look!)
- Update Posts! Added those pesky alt details to lots and lots and lots of pictures.
Hmm... I did a lot of minis. In fact, I think I only skipped one. Sorry, folks, I was just too overwhelmed by it all (and had toooooo low a connection speed) to look at everyone's blogs! Isn't that terrible? Bad Britt. Next time I will definitely do better about cheering on more people!
And I'm taking a poll-- Leave the header as is? Or give it some sort of graphic as a background? I can't decide....
Sorry, Natasha. I have not the foggiest clue how many comments I left. I think it's somewhere in the very sad realm of 15-20. Again, Bad Britt.
I'm not sure I can think of anything to add next time! I just know I need to be more organized next time!
Great job!
ReplyDeleteYour favicon must have run off with my gravatar, which is also among the missing.
I love your new background, and I'd probably mostly leave your header alone with it-- maybe change the color slightly.
Great stuff! I love your layout! I may need to nose around here a bit. I loved the Bloggiesta - I learned so much and my blog is waaaaaayyyyyy cooler for it. :)
ReplyDeleteimbookingit-- aha, that must be it!
ReplyDeleteActually I think there's a whole convention of favicons and gravatars somewhere, 'cause I know ours aren't the only ones missing!
Yeah, I think I'm just going to adjust the colors of the header.
Sheila- Thanks!
You did a great job with the bloggiesta Britt! Thrilled that you got so much done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Natasha!
ReplyDeleteOne other thing I accomplished-- I raised the Website Grader score of my scrapbooking/project blog from 21 to 46!! (Not entirely sure how, but hey.)
Britt - you are amazing (and busy).
ReplyDeleteAw thanks.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about amazing, but busy works. :D
