-Signed up for a Picnik account so I can make better looking graphics for blog posts. I'm a dunce with graphic programs, and even I could figure it out! I spent about an hour creating graphics for upcoming posts.
-Decided what prizes I'm giving away for my Blogoversary in March and set money aside in the budget and wrote and scheduled those posts.
-Wrote several more rainy day posts. And by several I mean about fifteen. I now have 30+ posts scheduled as far as the end of March. It feels great!
-Backed up my blog.
-I ran my blog through Website Grader. My results were pretty meh, so I have some work to do.
-Took off word verification on my comments. I haven't had any issues with spam, so unless that happens I'll leave it off. I know a lot of people hate it, so I want to make commenting as easy as possible.
Overall, I didn't participate in any challenges like I did last Bloggiesta. I read several of the posts, but I already had my time planned so succinctly that I didn't have a lot of time left over for challenges. For next Bloggiesta I'll leave some time open for challenges and for reading more posts from past Bloggiestas.
Wow, congrats on getting so many posts scheduled!
ReplyDeleteI also discovered Picnik this weekend. Before I started book blogging I used to be hardcore about making icons for LiveJournal posts, and used a pretty intensive software program (GIMP). I always figured the only thing that would ever give me similar results would be going back to GIMP so I've shied away from graphics on my blog. But Picnik is an excellent program that does pretty much everything I need! I made one banner during Bloggiesta, but I might end up with some more.
Yay for getting stuff done! Congrats on all that you accomplished!
ReplyDelete@ Angela: the only problem I have with Picnik is when I try to save to my hard drive, apparently the software doesn't like Macs. I save my pics to my Photobucket and I don't have that issue.
ReplyDelete@ Ashley: thank you!
