Thanks to the blogs I’m following, I found out that this weekend something called Bloggiesta is happening in the blogging community…  Hosted by Nancy at Maw Books Blog, it’s a three-day period for intensive blog improvement.  There are suggested mini-challenges of ways to improve a blog and things to learn, and bloggers post their plans and share their results.  Fun stuff!

So here are my blogging goals for the weekend:

–Clear through my half-written draft posts.  Either finish them so they’re ready to go, or decide they just weren’t meant to be and get rid of them.

–Find more cool bloggers to follow in my reader (not exactly an improvement to MY blog…but related)

–Go through past posts to check formatting is all in order.  As a relatively new blog, I haven’t had much time for things to fall into disarray and disrepair, but it’s still worth checking to make sure that I didn’t miss any strangely arranged posts, forget to add a page break to a long Fiction Friday, or have WordPress pull a fast one on my spacing (I swear I’ve seen a neatly spaced blog post suddenly go haywire for no apparent reason).

–Find new Reading Challenges to join for 2011, and update my one existing one (Support Your Local Library).

–Explore new places where I can add links to my blog, like directories.

–Try any of the mini-challenges that look fun/useful/interesting!

Lucky for me, it’s a quiet Saturday anyway–so we’ll see how this goes!  I’ll post an update later on…
