Welcome to our Fall Mini-Bloggiesta.
It’s happening from September 17-20. Click the link that will take you over to the Sign-Up Linky (above).
And here is the Starting Gate Post.
I have SEVEN blogs now, down from the eleven I had the last time I celebrated this event.
Here is a rudimentary to-do list:
❏ do two mini challenges – Blogroll Overhaul at Bay State Reader’s Advisory; and Creating Post Templates, from Trish, at Love, Laughter, & a Touch of Insanity.
❏ change or fix one thing on your sidebar – Removed three things from sidebar
❏ add a page (about me, contact, policy, etc)- Added About Me page and Some Favorite Blogs.
❏ change one thing on your layout and/or look – Changed header & background images
❏ comment on other Bloggiesta participants’ blogs
❏ participate in at least one Twitter chat
Changed theme, header, & background at Serendipity blog. New screenshots below
Changed header & background at Curl up and Read blog (screenshot)
Changed theme, header, & background at Potpourri (screenshot)
Changed header & background at An Interior Journey-(screenshot)

As you can see, I added a few more blogs to work on. I started early, knowing that I would be expanding my list. I will be over to visit your blogs…hope you will stop by here.
See you at the party!

RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS 
Whoa! from 11 to 7. Are you planning to continue to decrease your blogs this time around? Happy Bloggiesta-ing 😉

I don’t have any immediate plans to do that…I have five main book blogs and two blogs for “creative” things.
Thanks for stopping by, vvb.

Thanks, Whitney, and I guess I’m cheating a little by starting so early, but with seven blogs, I can’t resist. Even though this is my main featured blog, I can’t help working on the others.

I like all you’ve gotten done so far, especially the background on this blog. It’s a lot like the fabric on my living room curtains & pillows!

You’re obviously a good reference to talk about running multiple blogs. It’s something I’ve been debating. I may have to do it 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! I can’t believe how much you’ve already gotten done. That’s awesome!

Starting early is very smart when you have seven blogs! Your design changes look nice! I’m not going to try to fix my blog design this time around because it will suck up all my available time. Happy Bloggiesta! That margarita looks good, too!

I have no idea how you manage to keep the 7 blogs going! I’m always struggling with one so hats off to you Laurel. And I like your about me page, I always like to know a little bit more about bloggers I follow. Oh and we have lots of the same fav blogs too! 😀

Goodness, I can’t believe you are able to keep up with maintaining seven blogs! I can barely keep up with one (on top of a full-time job, anyway).
Congrats on getting so much on your to-do list accomplished already! Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier, and have fun with the rest of Bloggiesta 🙂

Thanks, Terri, I have dwindled the number of blogs down a bit (it was 11 at the last Bloggiesta), but yes, I do have a lot. LOL. Enjoy the party!

As everyone else has said, seven blogs is pretty impressive, but I guess since that’s a cut back number it feels like a breeze! I used to keep multiple websites and wouldn’t want to do it again, so go you for being so motivated!
Good luck with the rest of your list, it looks like you’ve made some super progress with it so far 🙂

Thanks, Wattle, and yes…after having many more blogs, seven does seem easy. I primarily work on five of them.
