Bloggiesta 2014

September 17, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Events 7 Comments

Bloggiesta is a blogging event where us bloggers get together and fix things up on our blogs.

My pink hammer is all ready to cute-ify this blog!!!

My pink hammer is all ready to cute-ify this blog!!!

This is the perfect time for Bloggiesta!! Since I changed my blog design, there are a few small things that still need to be fixed.  And here they are:

  • Change favicon using this tutorial from Jenni Elyse
  • Search results header
  • Rewrite About me page
  • Optimize Yoast Seo plugin with Nose Graze tutorial.
  • Set up Shelfari
  • Responsive Header using this tutorial.
  • See if I can fix the float on my book covers for my responsive design.  Not sure how to do this.  Not sure that I care. Done! It only took one line of code – display: block;
  • Fix related posts images for these categories – reading challenges, news, change google diary to be featured image instead of book cover, events, blog tour, author interview
  • Move tag cloud and put something in the footer in it’s place?? Ooh maybe an Instagram feed or something.
  • Change design credits on links page

And I will probably do a mini-challenge about Google + if they do one.  I don’t know if I’ll have time for tons of mini-challenges but I’m going to try.

UPDATE: I did do the Google plus challenge! I linked my YouTube channel to my Google plus profile and got rid of my page! YAY :)

What is your to-do list this Bloggiesta? Leave a link I want to see it!

    Your list reminded me that I need to update the About page for our blog, too, because info is out of date. Sigh, just another thing to add to my list. Good luch with yours!

    So, my internet went crazy just as I was trying to submit a comment, so if for some reason you get two comments from me, I apologize.

    I love your new design! And you’ve got a great list, and got so many of them done! Great job, and good luck with the rest of the day!

    P.S. Love that pic from Gilmore Girls!

My name is Jessica. I love to read Young Adult and classic literature. I’ve been a book blogger for six years and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I’m a very curious reader. Writing about all the questions and thoughts I had while reading a book is the best hobby ever.  Read more….
