So I sort of failed Bloggiesta. Again.
I probably worked for about 6-8 hours total over the three days. Between my little baby and stuff for the Game On! Diet, I just didn’t have much time Saturday or Sunday. Daniel is not really into the whole ‘playing by himself’ thing right now, because he keep trying to crawl, and when he can’t go forward he gets mad, even though he goes every other directly.
I got a few reviews written, and did what I wanted with my challenges page. Sadly, I did not get to my tags and categories.
Mini-Challenges Completed:
Broken Link Hunt from Karin of Karin’s Book Nook – This one is easy for me to do, because I have a broken link checker plug-in. Pathetically, I hadn’t used it to check for broken links in MONTHS. This was a good reminder, probably took about half and hour.
I guess I sort of also did the Footers challenge from Pam of Bookalicious. She talked a lot about copyright in her challenge. I already had a footer on my blog that included a copyright, but it wasn’t included on every post. I found a WordPress plug-in that not only asserts copyright, but also creates a digital signature and verifies that you created that post at such and such a time. It is not only included on my posts, but also has a copy emailed to me for my records. The company keeps a copy of the verification as well, so I’m pleased with that.
Here’s to a better Bloggiesta next time, I hope you all got more accomplished than I did!

At least you got something done so that’s not a failure! I know what you mean about hard to find time. My husband was out of town the whole weekend so my two year old kept me busy.
You got something done, you are clearly *not* a failure.
Also, your tweets about Game On, Diet are really intriguing me. I might have to look into that.

Hey, I do not have kids, and I did not have a super busy weekend, but we put in about the same amount of hours, so you are not a failure!

Hey, at least you participated in Bloggiesta! I was off doing a million other things. I DID back up, which I know is important. And I did write a couple of posts. Still, I do need to spend some time spiffing up my place. Someday.
I did not do all that much for bloggiesta either and I don’t even kids! I managed to write six reviews, but that was the extent of it.

I’d call 6 to 8 hours a success! Daniel is so much more important, anyway!
I think you did fine, especially since you were doing it with a baby by your side. I don’t think any of us got “done” with blog improvements, just finished. I think I have more to do now than I did when Bloggiesta started!
BTW, how does the WP plug-in work? do you have to have your own domain to use it? Or can I use it as a free-WP blogger?

I think you did well for someone with divided attention!
You did far better than I did! I didn’t even participate, not because the blog doesn’t need it (boy howdy does it!) but because I’m too cowardly to change anything. ::sigh::
Congratulations on all the work you did! Out of curiosity, what is the name of the broken link plug-in that you use? Do you find that it works well?

I had stuff to do around the house this weekend so I couldn’t bloggiesta. I have to schedule a session of it in my own in the next few weeks. 6-8 hours sound like you put in quite a good bit if time. If only I would just use that time to write reviews.

Hey you got involved and that is awesome! Congratulations on the Bloggiesta accomplishments.
6-8 hours is a great amount of time-Besides your baby is more important.
You did great! And I love the tips for broken links and footers. I’m going to go look into those. And hey, at least you did your stuff during the actual Bloggiesta! As you can see, I’m still working on it! lol.
Sorry, I’m so late in coming by and leaving a comment after Bloggiesta. I think I just collapsed and my kids were thrilled to not have their mom glued to the computer. It’s hard to do stuff with little ones. When my two year old says, “All done computer!” I know it’s time to get off.
