Bloggiesta Wrapup

I've seen things about Bloggiesta floating around the blogosphere lately, but I didn't know what any of it was about, so I decided to look it up today. Basically, it's where you spend the weekend (this coming weekend) devoting time to your blog and hopefully getting all those things done that you've been meaning to. Though my blog is fairly up-to-date it could always use more work, so I decided to join.

Things to get done:
-- Update my review archive
-- Write up blog posts for all my saved reviews
-- Write up at least 2 weeks worth of memes.
-- Create a new rating system (I now have a plan for them, so I'm happy :D)
-- Make 2 sidebars
-- Film and post IMM
-- Make a youtube channel for my blog
-- Do challenges (I went through all of them, but I only did 6)

I'm actually pretty happy with what I got done. It doesn't look like a very long list, but I attacked it all day Saturday and by the end of the day I was completely burnt out. I love that this event allowed me to spruce up my blog and get some things done that I've been meaning to for a while now.
One of the most useful things I learned from the event was from the "Cleaning up your sidebars" challenge. I never really knew what was important and what wasn't and it was nice to see a list of the things other people want to see in your sidebar.
