challenge participation

[Andy]

guys let's please go on a recruiting effort, okay? we need more participants. i love you all but i want more :wink

tell a friend, do some cajoling. everyone who's participated in at least one challenge should concentrate on getting just *one* new person to join in the fun.

thanks

thanksYeah, tried recruiting a co-worker of mine yesterday. He looked at challenge 20's threads and posting page and said "Ummm... this looks too confusing." And he's a smugmug user.

doug, it's just the first trip 'round for this format, there was bound to be endless discussion and such about it.

it shouldn't be this way next time.

confusing? there's one place for rules and submission. one place to submit photos for review. dunno how much simpler it could get.

i'll take a cue though, and make sure that only the official thread is sticky.

thanks!

I'm having a hard enough time getting myself to participate this week. I'm blaming it on classes starting this week. Damn confused kids everywhere making my life difficult.

LOL, I got my daughter to join so she could vote. No, she will not vote for me unless she wants to, and she didn't want to last time.

Who would I recruit, the only person I know who does anything with this stuff, he designs websites, is my son, around 30, expecting his first baby, he is super busy and there is no sign that he is into photography. He is into computers, he makes his money designing web sites, but he does not do the photography.

So, I could probably cajol a few more voters, but I do not know of any potential participants. Does that mean I have to drop out?:D

Thanks, Lynn. Maybe I can get a whole voting block together. Some for you and some for me. Is that like stuffing the ballot box????

I had to call Julie, remind her that it was time to vote, the only reason I know that she didn't vote for me, (actually, she did, she voted for Sid's ginger). But she e-mailed me to ask how to get to the photographs.

I called her and talked her through the navigation part. Of course I had to be on dgrin to describe that. I did not watch her vote, thought that would be unethical. Then I waited, and I could tell who she voted for. That was unusual. She was going out of town on business, so there was a time situation she was dealing with. Ordinarily, she would just vote, and I would have no clue. That is how she wants it.

I did e-mail my web designing son today. I asked him to join and bring his best friend, Michael (Michael is a photographer).

The problem is these people think they are busy. I swear young people now are busier than I ever was.

More hours needed,
ginger

I've gotten a few folks from other sites to at least come check this place out, and some have even joined! But I won't apply pressure one way or the other regarding participation in challenges. Just not my style. I think a bit of Googlebombing might be the answer here (depending on how many folks actually have sites or blogs of their own). How many unique ISP hits do you get in a day here?

In the meantime, we've got a site up with a very few of the piccies we took in Bali.
