Due to several recent annoyances with Blogger (like things suddenly not working when they worked just fine before), I have chosen to make a move to Wordpress. This will be a slowish move, since I'm confident of what I'm doing before I do it. So although there are lots of ways this blog could improve, I'm going to focus on only a few small issues this weekend:
Set up a bloglovin' account- Catch up on writing book reviews and create a schedule for their publication
- Prepare for my upcoming Suicide / Mental Illness theme read coming up in September and October. (Woops. Was that a plug? I really do need to make the button and plan!)
Make better use of StumbleUpon- Create Challenge/
Tourtab
Hope everyone's blog development plans go well this weekend!
Great bloggiesta to do list. Another avenue to promote your theme read is at Novel Challenge. A blog for reading challenges and events. http://novelchallenges.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Thanks Alysia! I've just sent my link to Novel Challenges. It's great that we have such resources to find participants! :)
DeleteI really need to do more with StumbleUpon for my blog. I don't really know how to go about it though that's for sure! Good luck with your goals.

Bloggiesta Goals
Hi Angela, I'll write a little about how I think I can use StumbleUpon in my closing post. Hopefully it works!
DeleteGreat list, good luck!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I just made a bloglovin account recently too! And I dearly need to catch up on reviews as well :p
ReplyDeleteI'm really curious as to how you can use stumbleupon, I'm looking forward to reading your follow up post!
I don't know why I didn't go to bloglovin a long time ago! It's fantastic.
DeleteI have thought about a switch at some point myself. I will be watching you with baited breath.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you are working on a schedule for posting reviews Rachel. I use a "system" to control my postings. I am glad to know that someone else puts thought into this.
Well, I'm planning on really thinking it out before I make the jump. I want my new blog to have a good look / feel. More individualized. So I'm going to have to work on my html programming skills.
DeleteYou have a great to-do list! I'll be really interested in how you utilize Stumbledupon more effectively.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andi!
DeleteGood luck with your goals! I'm trying to remember to Stumble posts on a more consistent basis, but I have found a few new blogs using it. I love how random it is!
ReplyDeleteTerri @ Alexia's Books and Such...
Yeah, I love the randonmness too! It's a lot of fun, if only I would think to do it more often.
DeleteIt was a plug, but I'm so glad you did it because I'm interested! I'll be really excited to hear more about that :) Good luck this weekend and when you make the move to WordPress. I love it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it WAS a plug. :) But it wasn't an out of place plug, which makes it ok, right? ;)
DeleteI switched from Blogger to WordPress, then to WordPress.org a while ago. No regrets! I still have to use Blogger at work and I hate it. ;) I'll look for you on Bloglovin'. I have my blog there too, but I use Feedly as a reader more than I use Bloglovin'. I never use StumbleUpon, so would be interested in what you did for that item on your list!
