Bloggiesta Starting Line! Let's Do This

Alright so it's day one of Bloggiesta and I'm super excited to get to work on this blog. As most of you know, I haven't really been blogging here lately, it's mainly because there has been real life things that have, well putting it nicely kicked my ass. Anyway, I'm getting back to it and Bloggiesta and a few other things are going to help me. One of which is a total revamp/rebrand of Ali's Bookshelf. This is one of my main goals. I've had this blog since 2011 and I think it's time for a new look, yet some of the look and branding will be sticking around. 

Anyway, let's get to my list for the first day of Bloggiesta! Oh and you can still sign up to participate, just CLICK HERE for more information. 

Game Plan for Today: 

Get my blogging binder set up for this month and Febuarary (The plan is by the end to have it set up for the whole year.) 

 Go through my tags and fix them 

 Clearout email  

I think this is a great start to a fantastic weekend! Hope you're all doing great on the first day.

Mini Bloggiesta 2015: Back to the Basic's Finish Line

YAY! Another Bloggiesta complete and I actually got everything on my list finished.  I'm going to keep working on other things though.  There is always something else to work on.  Really want to log some of my books. That will take me a long time to actually get finished with that one though.  Think I might take that one a shelf at a time.  

Here are the things I actually did finish this time: 

• Write and schedule at least 5 reviews. (5 of the 5 complete)
• Schedule two weeks worth of posts.  (2 weeks worth of meme's and discussion posts)
  
• Clean up the slider and add new reviews to it
• Participate in the twitter chat
• Comment on some of the Bloggiesta participants blogs (Commented on 11 so far)
• Create a page and link all of my meme's and special posts  (Decided not to do this, going to leave my page the way it is. It's already linked.  Might make a discussion page though.)
• Update my Review Page (Added the 5 last reviews to the list)
• Post a Book Tag 
• Straighten up Sidebar 
• Backup blog 

Like I said I'm going to work on a few other things so I'm not completely finished.  Hope everyone else had a great Bloggiesta!

Mini Bloggiesta 2015 Starting Line

It's Bloggiesta time!!! So I'm getting a jump on my list before I head to bed for the night, then I'll be on all day tomorrow working on my list.  I'm hoping by the end of the weekend I can get my whole list completed and maybe even add a few things to said list or work on a few older mini challenges that I haven't had a chance to complete.  

I think I'm going to start at the bottom of my list and work my way up.  So that means I have to pick a book tag and post it.  That should be simple enough for tonight.   Just need to figure out which one I want to do.  YIKES there are so many that I want to do! 

What are you working on during this Mini Bloggiesta? I must say I love the theme of this one, Back to the Basics is a great idea and something I think, well I at least know I need.
