Today I did blog tasks for more than five hours for a Bloggiesta total of fifteen hours.

I installed the OpenBook Book Data plugin to fetch the illustration of book covers and some other information. But it runs too slow. I’ll have a faster site if I manually enter that information.

I managed to do several small graphical things — a favicon (the purple J next to my web address), a gravatar to show up when I make comments on other blogs, and a graphic signature, that should show up at the bottom of this entry.

My first Bloggiesta was a big success! I hear that this is a twice-a-year event. I’m looking forward doing this again in the summer.
