My Blog To-Do List
Bloggiesta starts on Thursday! Bloggiesta is a big virtual work party for maintaining and improving our blogs. It’s going for four days which will be a good amount of time for spring cleaning. Check out the Bloggiesta web site for other people’s sign up posts and the times for the Twitter chats.
First, I have the things I always do at the beginning of Bloggiesta:
Back up WordPress site with FileZillaBack up blog with WordPress ToolsDo WordPress updatesTest my website load time with Pingdom Tools as recommended by The Redhead RiterArgh! It’s slow (something I’ve noticed recently). I don’t know how to fix that.Run the security scan at Sucuri as recommended by Sophisticated DorkinessArgh, again! It found a couple of problems and I don’t know what to do about that.
Next, some things I hope to accomplish during this Bloggiesta:
- Complete one or more mini-challenges
- Participate in one or more Twitter chats
- Visit lots of blogs
- Fix up my categories, including banish “Miscellaneous”
- Update my Health Books page
- Look into the JetPack plug-in
- Look into the Yoast SEO plug-in
- Draft future blog posts
Will you be joining Bloggiesta?
Oh! I like your standard operating procedures for the beginning of each Bloggiesta! I might steal those!
I should really redo my categories and tags. I know after a year of blogging there are inconsistencies, as much as I try to avoid them. I don’t think I could get rid of Miscellaneous, though; some things really are just miscellaneous! Good luck!
I also want to participate in this Bloggiesta, but first I should do my list!! Ohhh God, give me more time, please!
I’m wavering right now. I had decided not to join in because I really don’t have time at all, with a big overdue editing project and events every single day of the four days. Still, I haven’t missed one since I first joined in a couple of years ago…Good luck with your list, in any case!
Good luck with your list this weekend! I hope it is productive for you!
My list is ridiculous, so I’m hoping for a VERY productive weekend!!
Good luck with your Bloggiesta goals! I’ve seen a few bloggers mention backing up their blog and I think I might have to add this my list.
Looks like you are off to a great start. Good luck!
