August 27th Weekly SH*T List

August 27th, 2020
PLEASE NOTE: SIX CHALLENGES END ON MONDAY, AUGUST 31st

Welcome to the Weekly SH*T List, your handy-dandy go-to list to keep current on all things challenging. The name is the acronym of the words 'So Happy It's Thursday', (SH*T). Just as everyone understands that TGIF stands for 'Thank Goodness It's Friday', Thursday's acronym is not quite as polite but very effective. This list is usually posted early Thursday morning (EST), but will occasionally get posted later if there is something going on in my life.

For those who are not sure what the challenges listed below are all about, just click on the link and it will bring you right to the original post that has all the rules and information needed to enter. I have also spelled the acronym of any challenges in full for further clarity.

While the Weekly SH*T list only lists the ending date of the current challenges, please go through the discussion board to find challenges to be voted on. Voting can be just as important as participation and is generally the most fun and exciting part of the challenges.

Don’t forget to hit the link to check out the details of any challenges you are considering in case I may have messed up the dates or such.

Thank you, Annie @annied for continuing on with the Word of the Month! This challenge is a great place for those who occasionally lose their mojo and need ideas or inspiration. It is also a great challenge for those who want to go that extra nine yards to do a full month of words.

@summerfield
OOPS!!
Thank you, and now fixed!!

wendy, thanks again for doing this list - i refer to it often and it makes it sooooo much easier than scrolling through all the 'themes & comps' pages as we used to have to - your efforts are much appreciated :)
September 3rd, 2020
may I suggest, even though it is probably asking a lot - if you ever felt you could possibly put the tag for each challenge in the list here that would make it so easy to pop here to the SH!T list, grab the tag and done!
If that is like asking way too much please just loudly scoff at the computer then laugh at me 😊

@koalagardens
What a great idea!
I will give that a try to see if it works. I have a system so that it would not take a lot of work to do that.

@koalagardens
Katrina -
I don't know how to make the tag high-lighted and blue so that it works when you click on it (if you know what I mean).
I see that some hosts do it, and some just state what the tag is so people can just copy and paste it to their page.

@koalagardens
Never mind! Figured it out and learned something new!
September 3rd, 2020
@koalagardens
Help!! I went through all the challenges and copy/pasted the tags to my Word Doc and the tags were blue on my Word Doc but are not when I copied the Word Doc to the Discussion thread.
Now what?
September 3rd, 2020
@koalagardens
I even tried copying the tag directly from the challenge thread to the Weekly SH*T list thread by-passing the Word Doc and it did not come up as a blue quick link.
Grrrr... ?
What am I doing wrong?
