My Bloggiesta Plan
I’m so excited for the first-ever week-long Bloggiesta! Bloggiesta is a fun working party to make our blogs all nice and spiffy — spring-cleaning for the website.
In case you didn’t see it earlier, I’m running a mini-challenge for this Bloggiesta about Making Memes. Check it out! I have a very low-commitment level to join, so if you’ve ever wanted to have a good think about whether or not you want to host a meme, this is the perfect opportunity!
The Bloggiesta folks organized the Twitter chats for each day by a theme, so I’m going to follow the same themes to organize my goals this week.
Here’s the plan:
Sunday — Preparation. This is my standard list of what I do at the beginning of Bloggiesta.

Wow. You are going big with Bloggiesta. Good luck! Hope to see you around next week.

Holy cow. Those are some ambitious Bloggiesta goals! I love the themes for each day, and may need to borrow those (with credit given, of course) and some of your to-do’s, as many are on my list as well.
Have fun Bloggiesta-ing!
Whew! What a list! Good luck on your goals.
This is an AMAZING plan!!!!
Sounds exhausting and exhilarating! It’s always fun to dedicate some time to ones blog and Bloggiesta reminds us to do it. Enjoy and good luck on meeting your goals!
Wow! Impressive! And what an awesome idea! I wish you all the luck in the world!
You are way more organized than I am about the whole Bloggiesta thing. I must rethink my whole plan which was basically to lurk. Ha! Have a good week.

Oh my, are you going to do any other work, eat, sleep etc? Fabulous list for anyone to look at and think how they could apply all or some of your ideas.
Wow, Joy, you’re going to be BUSY! It’s a great idea, organizing your Bloggiesta plan according to the chat themes. I’m hoping to make some of the chats, and get to some of the challenges.
Wow, I love the daily goals list that is a wonderful idea! I hope you accomplish everything
Happy Bloggiesta!
Wow, all of your tasks are very technical and advanced….I am impressed. Have fun! And thanks for visiting my blog.
Really like how you’ve organized your goals by day and theme! I transferred my Bloglovin’ feed to Feedly and am going to see how I like it once I get used to everything. Was pretty easy to move all of my groups, and I love easy! Google+ has been on my to-do list for awhile, as I’m still not 100% sure how to use it. Maybe this will be the week I finally figure it out! Good luck with all of your goals!

Great plan! and how awesomely organized you are!!! That’s great!!!
Good Luck! I hope you can finish all your goals.
I so appreciate how organized you are! My organization skills went belly-up the past two years and this is inspiring to me. Have a great week!
Wow, that’s a long list!! Good luck
I’m going to check out your challenge 
Impressive list! And it looks like you already got a lot done!
I love how you broke the days into focal areas – what a great idea! And your list is quite ambitious! I can’t figure out how so many people doing Bloggiesta are able to work so quickly. . .
Thank you for visiting my blog and the warm welcome to joining the bloggiesta
Enjoyed reading your articles, i’ll maybe pop by for a Brit-Isles-Fri contribution if not this week, another time (and now I know what a meme is too – can’t believe how long I’ve been reading that word in blogs and not taking any notice of it or how I didn’t actually know what it meant!)
Best wishes
Wow! You have quite a list, and I love how you broke each day down. I hope you accomplish everything! Happy Bloggiesta!
Wow, you are getting a ton done this Bloggiesta! I’m impressed!
Wow! Look at you go! Keep up the AMAZING work. You’re an inspiration.
I hope I am able to get more work down this later half of the week.
Happy Reading!

Oh wow! Look how much you’ve already accomplished! That’s impressive. I hope the rest of your bloggiesta is as productive as it has been! thanks for stopping by!
Wow, look at you go! That is ambitious and you are already doing so great. Keep it up!
Wow, Joy! I am so impressed with your list. Looks like you’re well on your way to accomplishing your goals this week!
You are amazingly organized, and getting so much done! I was scheduled to be out every night this week, so I decided not to try to join in on Bloggiesta this time, but have been trying to do some cheerleading here and there. Regarding G+, it looks like the Book Bloggers Do It Better community may end up over on Facebook instead, and that was really the only group that I was active in in G+. I have a G+ circle for Book Bloggers, though, and I think you’re in it!
Whoah, that’s a long list. I think my total list is the amount you’ve assigned to each day! Good luck with it all. I might have to steal/borrow some ideas from you for next time!
