It’s a Wrap! #28DBC Days 16-27

Last week concluded the 28-Day Blog Challenge hosted by Katy Widrick. It was a busy month for my blog:

If you don’t know from participating, this challenge was completely free, and I learned so much. Thank you to Katy and everyone who joined in to share knowledge, advice and feedback. I will definitely participate in another blog challenge – which I hope to see (hint, hint)! 🙂 If you weren’t a part of this #28DBC, make sure you get in on the next one.

On the first day, I set some goals for my blog during this challenge and got many of them accomplished:

~~Add an ‘About Me’ box to my sidebar~~ Finally!
~~Update my header~~ Love my new header!
Organize my Google Reader (or alternative)
~~Comment more regularly on blogs I follow (and discover some new blogs)~~ I discovered several new blogs thanks to this challenge.
~~Fix the comment link on my blog to make it easier to find~~ It’s now at the bottom.
Make it easier to pin images from my site to Pinterest

Plus, some exciting additional changes:

I updated my Remember page
Had my blog header re-designed by Rita at Blog Genie (love her!) and also changed the columns on my blog
Published my blog to Kindle
Updated my Facebook Page and cover photo
Started replying to every comment left on my blog
Transferred my domain name and email to DreamHost (love them!) so all of my blog services are now in one place

And…

I am staying up to date with blogs I follow by commenting on a more regular basis

My favorite change? My new header!

I am still struggling with my Google Reader (I don’t really like it and I think it is overwhelming to manage). What do you use?

I am still looking for a Pin-It Plug-In that allows readers to easily pin images to Pinterest. The ones I tried seem to not work on my blog. Have you found one you like and wouldn’t mind sharing?

Did you participate in the #28DBC? What did you learn?

Until the next mile marker,
