THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: Do you have a favorite book from childhood? What is it?
***
Okay, I don’t know if “super excited” is the expression I would use for today’s topic, but I have come from a weekend of blogging makeovers, and here is my Bloggiesta post, Finish Line. I worked primarily on my Serendipity blog, but I also made over some blog headers, including the one here.
After the bloggiesta was officially finished, I then went on to do something really drastic. Are you ready? I deleted the first blog I ever created, back in April 2008. You are probably thinking “are you crazy?”
But let’s review. It was my one remaining Blogger site. I hardly ever posted there, and the last straw was getting an e-mail from Amazon Associates about major changes coming with the links and widgets…and it sounded like a major overhaul was in store. Now my only reason for retaining that one site was for those widgets…so, it was a no-brainer for me. That blog is gone!
I did check all my review links, which I have on my Curl up and Read site….and discovered only two that linked to the Story Corner blog. I changed the links to my Goodreads site…and voila! Done and done.
Yes, I did spend some time rereading blog posts, and nothing I found there was worth moving to one of my other blogs. Sad, but true. I also had to change my list of blogs on all of my other sites.
I still kept my Blogger profile, even though I have no blogs left there. It helps with commenting, etc.
I did love my header there, though…saving it, just in case I can use it somewhere else. Changing the text, of course.
So, now, ready? I am down to TEN blogs!

I think my favorite book from childhood was Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott, but I don’t have my own copy. I reread it several times as a child, and then again after I started blogging. I am thinking of buying a copy for my library. What do you think? I love this cover.

RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS 
10 blogs!!! I have three and one is up only for family photos. The other is my travel blog and since I have not been doing much traveling it is dormant for now. I don’t think I could keep up with more.

But I’m down from eleven! LOL. Yes, at one point I had 20 (for about a minute), so ultimately, I hope to get them down to a more manageable number. Thanks for stopping by, Jo.

Thanks, Sharon, and if I had it to do over, I would keep my number down to five blogs…yes, that’s still a lot! LOL
It is harder to delete or merge blogs than one might think….things are linked to the various sites, so it usually involves a lot of work.
I mostly post on my top five blogs.

I have no idea how you managed so many blogs. Glad you had success with the challenge!

Mostly I work on five of them…the others are like supplemental sites. Thanks for stopping by, Kimba, and I had fun with Bloggiesta.

I wonder how you manged all the blogs? You are truly an obsessive blogger :D.
Little Women is a beautiful book. The book I own has a dull cover. But what you shared is adorable 🙂 . You must buy it Laurel ..
Blessed Week!

Thanks, Ria, and I alternate, mostly, between my top five primary sites. They each have a different “flavor” to them, but these five are all bookish.
I think I am going to go for it with the Little Women book.

Thanks, Daniela, but my reading, writing, and blogging are my primary focus these days, now that I’m retired. And I probably don’t do as much as some do on their one…

Loving the changes to your blog headers – looking good Laurel! Well done on completing your challenge. I had quite a few books I loved as a child, one of my favourites was Thursday’s Child by Noel Streatfeild, I think the original fascination came because I was born on a Thursday 🙂 Little Women was well-read too!

Thanks for the compliment. And I want to check that one out, Cleopatra….my eldest son was born on a Thursday. Thanks for stopping by.

Ten blogs! How do you keep up. I am impressed. I think Little Women is one of my favorites as well. It is a toss up between LW and Tuck Everlasting for me.

Luckily, most of what I did on my Blogger site was done in my early days of blogging, so I didn’t see much I needed to save….it was an experiment….thanks for stopping by, Michael.

I was not happy about the e-mail from Amazon Associates, so I felt I had no choice. Luckily, this blog was pretty inactive most of the time. Thanks for stopping by, Allison.
