I can’t believe it’s already time for Bloggiesta again! This time, Bloggiesta lasts from Thursday, September 17 through Sunday, September 20. I have a football game on Thursday and a fieldtrip to NOLA on Friday, so I pretty much can only do stuff on Saturday and maybe Sunday. That’s why I’m limiting my list. BTW, I just realized that I still didn’t finish everything from my Bloggiesta list back in March. Oops.
So, without further ado, here’s my Bloggiesta list:
- Write 10 Reviews (I already have notes for these, so this shouldn’t be too hard)
Update Social Media Numbers in Sidebar, here and on Swoony Boys Podcast.- Set Up Posts for the next 2 weeks, here and on Swoony Boys Podcast
Schedule Emailesta[ETA: If no one else is having one, I think I’ll do this December 7-13. Football is over and studying for the notary test will be done.]- Migrate Email subscriptions to Mailchimp (and follow Ashley’s Mini-Challenge on Building an Email List)
- Shoot for a Zero-Inbox (using Aloi’s mini-challenge on cleaning out your emails on Guiltless Reading) [FTR, my current inbox has 643 emails and about 15,000 that are sorted into folders that aren’t useful. Fun]
- Use the Pinterest Rich Mini Challenge from Terri over at Alexia’s Books and Such to Optimize my Pins.
- Visit as many Challenge Participants Blogs as Possible.
Figure out what the hell is wrong with my Screen Options and why it won’t save when I refresh the page. This probably means I’ll be emailing Ashley to see if she can help ;).[ETA: Ashley is a rockstar and helped me fix my problem. #loveher]
This looks like a crazy list, and I probably won’t be able to do it all. But we’ll see. To sign up, head over to Bloggiesta and join us!

Do you know if there’s any way to change the column widths, or hide columns we don’t want in the post listing. I hate that I can barely read it.

Hey Elizabeth, have you tried unchecking what you don’t want to see in the Screen Options? If you click on Posts > All Posts, see in the upper right hand corner it says “Screen Options”. Click that and it will have a dropdown that you can uncheck what you don’t want to see. It’s always worked for me, but for some reason the UBB columns and Yoast SEO columns won’t go away for me, even when I uncheck them!
If you can’t get rid of the unwanted columns by unchecking the boxes in Screen Options and refreshing the page, then I suggest disabling your plugins and reactivating them one by one to be sure it isn’t a plugin that’s the issue. You can also try reverting to Twenty Fifteen theme to see if it’s a theme issue. I did all that, but it wasn’t a theme or plugin problem. Ashley gave me what I needed to put in my functions file to get rid of the UBB columns, but I haven’t found one that will work for the SEO columns. This is not ideal, but much better than what I had. There might be a plugin that will help, like Codepress Admin Columns, but I don’t want to use a plugin. I hope the Screen Options works for you because that’s WAY easier.
what is Emailesta? Intrigued.

Last Bloggiesta, that’s what some of the participants were calling Cleaning out our Emails–since it will probably take several days. The mini-challenge that Aloi posted will definitely help with that. I need more than that though, because I’ve made about a million folders and set up a bunch of filters so I don’t even see the emails I need anymore. haha
I am hoping in participate in the same mini challenges. Hopefully both of us with have success.
