    Comments and Followers

Be sure to follow @Bloggiesta and use the hashtag #Bloggiesta for these Twitter events.  If you have other questions about Twitter chatting stay tuned for the mini challenge that will cover all your questions. Hopefully!
I've signed up on twitter and now I have to figure out how to clear my calendar during the work week if I want to join in the conversation. I am not sure how it works but I guess I will find out. Join in if you want to gain some new help and insights on blogging.
I have noticed that my page views have been dropping, so have my comments. I'm hoping to find out how to increase my blog presence without spending all my time doing it.

Here is my plan for the week:
Sunday — PREPARATION...I am doing that right now. Thinking about the week and what I hope to accomplish on my blog this week
Monday — PEOPLE...adding a link to the blogs I enjoy following the most; participating or at least reading through the comments on the Bloggiesta Twitter feed about getting and making comments. 
Tuesday — E-PRESENCE...figure out how to add hyperlinks of logos to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest to my posts; figure out how to utilize Google+ to my advantage; participate in the Twitter chat on being Social Media Savvy.
Wednesday — DISPLAY...watch some YouTube videos on display functionality and ways to add interest and pizzazz to blogs; read through the Twitter feed discussion about layouts; fiddle around with my layout by cleaning it up.
Thursday — REVIEWS...write up and queue up my past due reviews
Friday — ORGANIZE...check that my blog is up-to-date, that my books read list is current; check in on my progress on my challenges.
Saturday — BOOKS and READING and Sunday — FEEDBACK and FREE FOR ALL...it is unlikely I will be available to Twitter chat these days as we are leaving for Spring break but I hope to do a lot of reading and want to discuss with my husband how to back up the blog and add some safety features. I know nothing about this.

  2. Good luck with your first Bloggiesta! I'm going to try and participate in as many Twitter chats as possible, but tend to prefer the mini-challenges as I can do those at my own pace. Plus I always learn something new, either from the new challenges or old ones from past Bloggiestas. Have fun!
