Bloggiesta Update 1

Joy's Book Blog Posted on by

BloggiestaAre you doing Bloggiesta? I’m having a great time so far. Here’s my list with what I worked on today.

The things I normally do at the start of a Bloggiesta:

  • Back up WordPress site with FileZilla
  • Back up blog with WordPress Tools
  • Do WordPress updates
  • Test my website load time with Pingdom Tools as recommended by The Redhead Riter Argh! 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 Dorkiness Argh, again! It found a couple of problems and I don’t know what to do about that.

Normally, though, my blog passes the load time and security tests. I’m not sure what to do since they didn’t. I’m going to spend some time working that out tomorrow.

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

I just enjoyed the Google Hangout with Amanda Shofner about Google+ and I’m looking forward to tonight’s chat.

  3. I should try the load tool to see if there are issues, I didn’t even know this tool existed!

    I learn so much from you and a few other blog friends during the bloggiesta, tips, trends, etc… I just signed up for a blogging class which should be good, love the instructor and her spin on blogging.

    Enjoy Bloggiesta!

  6. Wow! It looks like you finished things I wouldn’t even know how to do! Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog.
    BTW, I noticed in your Top Ten post today, you mentioned growing up near Hannibal. I grew up on the IL side of the river but only about an hour and a half from Hannibal so we were practically ‘neighbors’!
