Bloggiesta is a 3-day blog-a-thon where participants endeavour to complete as many things on their to-do lists as they can. You can learn all about it from Suey at It’s All About Books and sign up to participate at Danielle's There's a Book blog.
In Suey's words
"Bloggiesta is your chance to:
- spiff up your blog
- try something new on your blog, fix something, add something or delete something
- catch up on reviews, Google Reader, email, or anything else that's out of control
- work and party together with other bloggers
- learn new things from blogging experts
- join several mini challenges and win prizes [mini challenges are now closed]
- have fun for three days blogging and connecting with your blogging friends!"
To join in all you need to do is write a post about Bloggiesta and include your to-do list and link up your post.
As I've only one day in which to do it my to-do list is going to be pretty short.

and finally comment on the progress and success of at least two other Bloggiesta participants via #bloggiesta.Left comments at Lit and Life and Jenny Elise.
Update: I made a major mistake with this Bloggiesta by not signing up for it a lot sooner. When I checked out the instructions over one week before the start, I found that all the mini-challenges were closed. I'll set a calendar notification to check up on this 8 weeks and 4 weeks before the start of the challenge next time (March 29th - 31st 2013 for the main challenge).
N.B. The Bloggiesta Challenge now has a dedicated site at Bloggiesta.com
Once completed I intend to take a Flannel Friday sabbatical for a few weeks and dedicate some time to writing up my CILIP Chartership Portfolio after a year of working on various professional development challenges. Then towards the end of the month I'll be taking what I hope will be the trip of a lifetime to Vietnam and Cambodia. Wish me luck!
