Hours spent on bloggiesta: About 15 hrs
I also managed to finish a book somewhere in there. I find it odd how I didn't complete much from my original list, but I still accomplished a bit (thanks to the wonderful mini-challenges). The best, and most unexpected, result of this event was that I ended up learning a lot of new tips and info thanks to the mini-challenges. This was such a great challenge, I really think it should happen once every season.

Wow, you managed to accomplish a lot of great things. I didn't manage all I had hoped for, but there was one major thing which I have dreaded forever, and that was turning my blog into a 3-columned one.....and I did it. I did loose a lot of info, which of course I had backed up, but all in all it took a long time to make that 3-columned thing. Now I just have to get used to it :-)
Congrats on the Bloggiesta. You got lots accomplished. I was so happy to participate because it introduced me to your blog and I look forward to following in the future.
I agree with you in that I think the challenge has been a great resource for all bloggers, plus I've been able to meet a lot of bloggers with whom I wasn't acquainted previously: yourself being one of them, adding you to my reader even now.
Great work on the challenge! I am just having fun seeing everyone's tasks that they had set out to do. A lot of upgrades happened in book blogging this weekend. :)
I totally agree with you. I learned a lot, too, which I wasn't expecting. And 15 hours isn't too shabby. :)
Ok, I have to ask: what is bloggiesta?
My blog is about gardening, book reviews, book giveaways and more so I am curious.
I like your reviews here, so signed up to follow your blog.
I know I'm quite late in doing so but congratulations on completing the challenge. You got a lot accomplished! I found myself lucky to complete much on my list but then walked away from the weekend with ideas to replace it all, haha.
Great job!
I'm late, I'm late, I'm late! But thank you so much for playing and I'm thrilled that you learned so much! Yay!
