This is so cute!! Goats go everywhere!
Sheila - I know that there were not a lot of entries into the pet collage challenge but I think you should set up the voting anyway. Who knows, perhaps the next round of pet challenge will be better!
Just let me know if you need help with setting it up!
Sheila - the process of creating a voting discussion is quite easy actually and just involves much copy and pasting to a Word Document of some sort.
Normally you would choose your finalists – can be 4, 5, or 6 – there is no rule as to how many or few you choose. Your challenge, your rules! But since there were not a whole lot of entries you should use them all.
I do try to comment on everyone’s entry while choosing the finalists but if you do not have the time, so be it. Again, your challenge, your rules.
Once you have selected your finalists, open a word doc that you want to copy and paste to, click on your first finalist (can be in any order you so choose), type out their name and @name, open the embed code by clicking on the right arrow found to the right of the FAV’s star. Copy the whole embed code – it is long! – and paste below the name and @name on your word doc.
Repeat for all finalists. Do not forget to put numbers in front of their names for ease of voting. (and I have on occasion until someone mentions it during voting)
You can add a bit of introduction at the beginning of your word doc thanking everyone, and mentioning when voting ends, etc.
Now, go to Discuss under the task bar on top, click on it, click on Themes and Discussions, and open a New Topic on the top of the page.
Copy your whole word document and insert onto the New Topic, title the page, and click done (at least I think it says done).
Don’t worry if you have messed up because you can go back and edit anything in your new topic except the title (so don’t mess up the title – lol!)
Then – sit back and relax. Tally the votes when it is over, and announce the new winner. Tah-dah!! Yer dun!
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything else. The first time is the hardest - but it really is not that bad!
@farmreporter, I am just confused, I’m sorry! Are you asking me to set a challenge or work on a current challenge? Regardless, I am away this weekend so really can’t do anything like that. Maybe in the future, though!
The challenge process is quite simple. The winning host of the previous challenge - in this case, Vera - sets up the new challenge and members submit their entries.
Vera then chose the finalists to be voted on once the challenge period is over and set up the voting.The winner here (that was you) would become the new host and set up the new challenge, and then choose finalists to be voted on.
However, in this case, Vera set up the challenge for you so all you had to do was set up the voting and announce the winner.
Not a big deal - I see that Vera has continued on here.
Have a great weekend!
