#Blogathon2 Kick Off Post – Want to Join the Fun??

Okay, so you may have already seen a few posts from me today about the Biannual Blogathon Bash that’s happening this weekend, but those were my contributions for the Mini Challenges.  This?  This is my goal setting post for the weekend.  Hopefully, with use of the <strike></strike> code, I can go through the list of stuff that I want to do.

And if this sounds like fun, it’s not too late for you to join in! And hey, if you love the chance to win prizes too, there’s another reason to join in!

• Here’s a list of Mini Challenges, and I’m hoping to go through most if not all of them!  If you couldn’t tell, I have a thing for challenges, lol.

• I’ve really wanted to improve my photo gallery, so that’s something I’ll want to work on this weekend.
• See if I can figure out a way to clear out dead links.  Even though its almost been a year since I’ve switched my blog name from Habitue to Geek with Style, Google is still giving me grief occasionally.
• Blogging
• Whatever else I can think of.

Might not look like a lot, but considering it can take me an entire day to write up a post… this list is LONG.

Will you join in the fun?  Let me know below, I would love to follow your progress!
