Welcome to the Winter Mini-Bloggiesta. Here is my sign-up post, with a to-do list that may change and grow….I like starting out with a small list and achievable goals.
For a little history about Rainy Days and Mondays, I started this site on Blogger in August 2009: for the full story, read my About page...and in December 2014, moved it to Word Press. I didn’t import all the posts…just the past year. And naturally, my old followers disappeared when I deleted the old site. Anyone who once followed that blog, as well as new visitors: I would love for you to follow this one. Enough about that.
Today I am almost finished with my list. I may add some more before the weekend ends, but I have enjoyed finishing off the major goals.
And here is a screenshot of what my blog looked like before the “makeover.” As you can see, new blog header…and what you can’t see, you can check out below on my list: new pages, cleaned-up sidebar, etc.

I have always approached it as “my list, my goals,” and I don’t try to do more than I feel comfortable doing…and there are so many technological things that they cover in some mini-challenges…I just ignore those…LOL.
Thanks for stopping by, Patty.
