I came up with a new posting schedule. And I printed off some calendar and weekly pages to get me through the rest of the year. They are now in one of my binders which I can look at weekly to know what I have ahead of me. Lastly, I learned about a handy dandy new plug-in called Duplicate Post which should cut down on my review posting time.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/girlxoxo.com\/xtras\/20-discussion-post-ideas-for-your-book-blog-bloggiesta-mini-challenge.php\">GirlOXO&#8217;s mini-challenge on 20+ Discussion Post Ideas<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0Let&#8217;s face it, there&#8217;s not a lot of comment love on the site.

Probably because I see a stream of messages in a row on Twitter where people gave or received Klout from someone. It feels like spam to me.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thebluestockings.com\/2012\/09\/bloggiesta-mini-challenge-six-techniques-that-will-revitalize-your-old-content\/\">Jessica of The Blue Stockings on Revitalizing Old Content<\/a>. I&#8217;m sure a plug-in might help to highlight old reviews but what I&#8217;m walking away with is a plan to highlight old author events. For example, I&#8217;m a big fan of the Thurber House so each time I post about one of their events I can include links to some of my past posts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Did you participate in Bloggiesta?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t get to stop by all of the mini-challenges but this was a great Bloggiesta.
