Bloggiesta coming up!

I just found out through the amazing Trish that the Bloggiesta is coming up this weekend. It is hosted by Danielle and Suey (link to the Bloggiesta sign-up page), and I will sign up because I've not only been slacking with my blog lately, but with everything here.

I have a bunch of outstanding reviews that only need to be written (I take notes these days, so it's not that much to do - or it shouldn't be). Then I want to update the blog and deal with some minor things that have been bothering me a lot. I want to deal with that as well. And last, but certainly not least, I plan to figure out which memes I would like to participate in on a regular basis. I haven't participated in memes really, but I would love to.

Are you participating in Bloggiesta?
If not, do you have any suggestions for me regarding my blog? Maybe something you'd hope I would do (apart from blogging more regularly) or something that distracts you (maybe with the template or some other part of the layout)?
