It's really more like 2/3s over, but since I didn't start until today, I'm 1/2 done.
How am I doing? Not too bad. I've spent about 8 hours on Bloggiesta, interrupted by a shopping trip for craft supplies (school project for the kid, quilt project for me) and a school play-- just spectators; my girls had several friends performing.
I pruned back my blogrolls for those that are no longer active (*sob*); updated the "About" page and debugged my favicon. Sites that provide free hosting for .ico files seem to come and go; my favicon has been MIA for awhile now. I found a new hosting site for it (IconJ) and it's working again. Took awhile though; and I fiddled with my ISP account for a bit to see if I could host the file myself but it was too much of a PITA to set up. Of course, I made that call after spending close to an hour on it. Grrr.
Those are the visible changes; for the rest I have drafted about 4 upcoming posts to varying degrees of completion and jotted down ideas for 3 more. I also checked out this year's mini-challenges -- unfortunately none of them really resonated with me so I don't know if I'll participate.
Research
I poked around on a couple of different stats counters. I've had people tell me that my numbers look too low, but two different programs are showing approximately the same numbers, so *shrug* I guess I'm what you call a "boutique" blog, lol.
I did some research about ways to categorize/group labels in Blogger -- I'm very jealous of the two-level organizational capability that Wordpress has. Ultimately I decided not change anything at the moment because my options (that I could find) appear complicated, difficult to maintain, and yet still not quite what I want. Toying with the idea of moving all my author labels to a page though, since the label list is getting long and I'll probably always have a lot of authors with only one link.
Hopping
Outside of my own blog content, I've hopped on over to a couple of random Bloggiesta-ers to check out what they're doing, and left a couple of comments. I wish I had time to visit everyone, it's such a candybox to have a couple hundred blogs to choose from -- you never know what you're going to get, but your odds are good of finding something tasty!

Yeah, I've been blog hopping, too, which is way more fun than actually getting work done. :O) I've gotten a lot of stuff done but still, it's way more fun to socialize and chat. ;O)
Great job on getting things done...I keep blog hopping too--so many great blogs!
Looks like you have been quite a bit done for this!!! Hope you get all your goals accomplished!
