A bit later than planned, but yes, I’ve started my first Bloggiesta! I’ve been looking at the challenges of the previous bloggiesta and actually carried out one of them already: I’ve analyzed my weblog in Website Grader, which was recommended by Bookish Ruth.
And I’ve scored a 89% (out of 100)! I think I’ve passed the test, don’t you? Especially since it’s about marketing for businesses — and there are some things in WordPress I can’t control. If you’re wondering what the percentage actually stands for, here’s what the report says:
of the millions of websites that have previously been evaluated, our algorithm has calculated that this site scores higher than 89% of them in terms of its marketing effectiveness
:)
I’ve picked two more out of the previous challenges that I might actually do. But I shouldn’t get sidetracked, first I need to cross off some items of my to-do list that I compiled during the week. I’m not going to share it here, because I like surprises ;) And I don’t need the stress of people breathing down my neck either LOL. But I mean to diminish my backlog (among which book reviews and challenge wrap-up posts), clean up some old posts, make an index page, a button for my Bookcrossing Releases Google Map etc.
Haven’t you heard about Bloggiesta yet? It’s a weekend of getting our acts together on our blogs… Check out the details at Maw Books Blog and join! Yes, there’s still time ;)
Now let the party begin! It’s good that I have some of those blue nacho chips and homemade salsa picante left over from last night’s dinner! :)

Have fun! I’m excited for all this. Not sure where I’m supposed to find all the mini-challenges, though.

I was considering going back and looking at the challenges from the first Bloggiesta and seeing what they said and make sure I am still on track. I really learned a lot last time, and I think a couple of them may have been over my head at the time. Maybe now I will have a better understanding of how to do them! :)
Have a great weekend!

I LOVE blue nacho chips!! They’re the best.
Congrats on the high blog grade! That’s pretty neat, but I fear mine may not do so well. Maybe I’ll wander over there and give it a try. We’ll see!
Great blog, I’m happy Bloggiesta brought me your way. :-)
