SOTB Scrap Olympics - comments and questions.

[drfenning]

please post questions and comments in this thread and leave the other thread for just posting points earned. I will move your comments over to this thread and try to answer all questions in this thread.

Yes, please post every link to a gallery layout that you comment on. Then we can just count up the number of links after verifying.

Dani

Wow! Lots of questions since the last time I checked. But it looks like you guys figured out most of them.


Yes, it's per gallery comment
2 points for Challenge layout, 1 point for regular layout upload
Your blinkie has to be stored on the web on a photo sharing site like photobucket and then linked with the "add image" icon. It can not be copied from your hard drive
All Boxies have been found including Zimbabwe. Here's a link to all of the locations. http://www.scrapoutsidethebox.com/danielle/SOTB%20olympics%20links.xlsx (http://www.scrapoutsidethebox.com/danielle/SOTB%20olympics%20links.xlsx)
Coupon codes for Brandi were sent out to those who had already participated in the game. The sooner you join up the sooner you start getting the remaining goodies. I think I'll send one now... :)I think that's all the questions up until now. Let me know if you have any others.

I have another question. You knew I would. LOL.

How do I put a blinkie in my blog and make it work? They won't show as animated.

[cinlou333]

This may sound like a really dumb question, but I noticed no one else is giving the locations to the bears.
Find National Boxies throughout the site and be the first to post a link in this thread (25 hidden in all--one for each country for each letter of the alphabet except x) - 1 point for each National Boxy found (post her nationality and link in this thread. Please check this thread to make sure no one else has already found a Boxy with the same nationality)
Here is what mine looks like:
Find National Boxies throughout the site and be the first to post a link in this thread

Blog-Qatar and Ecuadorian

Is this correct or am I doing this completely wrong and giving away the answers???

[stater]

Cinlou,

That's because they've all already been found, but Zimbabwe which is suppose to be posted sometime on Sunday which is technically now.

You can no longer get points for the other 24 so you can stop searching & working on layouts or something else that you like. Good luck with the contest.

[stater]

Oh, BTW, I have no idea what time on Sunday it will be posted Cindy.

[jenjenjasp]

ROFL stater...you are too cute. me either...I am as in the dark on this one as you guys!

BUT! I did get my challenge posted. YEA ME! hahaha. now go do the map of me...and no shooting me for the assignment.

[jenjenjasp]

Wow kimberly! Good catch...we will fix that. The gallery upload is a point for every LAYOUT you upload I do believe...I will verify and fix.

[GaylieRae]

I'm in it

[smp131]

Will you be posting the links to all the bears when contest over so we can collect the ones we didn't find?

[amyk]

Where do we find Doodleboog's blog?

I do not have a blog anymore. I will be posting my challenges on the Scrap Outside the Box blog :smile:

[amyk]

Kimberly,

I'm glad you and others have it figured out. It helps if you're working in the WYSIWYG editor. Otherwise, you will need to know basic html to post links. Also, if everyone clicks "FAQ's" located in the red above you will find useful information on how-to. I typed "url" in the search field.

Thank you, Amy. Ummm the blog will not let me add a comment. I have tried 3 times and it just keeps going back to the add a comment page...showing that no comments have been added. I've done the layout for the challenge:

I Can Fly (http://www.scrapoutsidethebox.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=52411&ppuser=2230)


Okay now I seem like a total idiot!!!! I've managed to add not one or two comments to the blog!! But now I've added THREE and the link to my layout. ROFL.

[drfenning]

sorry. I deleted some questions/comments from here because I thought I was in the other contest thread, but they have all been answered above so no harm no foul. Again...sorry.

[crlin]

So are all the Boxys gone?? I would like to see them. Have been away so I couldn't participate in finding them!

[dorannmwin]

Dani, I'm getting a backup of gallery comments that won't fit in my first post. Should I start a second post or what?

[My3CountryBoys]

I'm having the same problem as Dorann. I tried deleting more items I got credit for but there isn't enough room.

Thanks Dani!

[dorannmwin]

Shannon, maybe we need to back off. ROFL.

[My3CountryBoys]

I know! I got all caught up on the recent stuff then thought now what..lol. I wonder if we could split the first place prize..lol.

[Fran98765]

Wow you two are impressive. Comments on layouts from last year! WOW!!

[My3CountryBoys]

This is a great way to get inspired! Going back and seeing older layouts that I never saw the first time around!

[dorannmwin]

I agree fully. I've got an entire folder full of layouts that I'd like to scraplift now that I'd never seen before.

[crlin]

I'm gonna bug again with this question, LOL!! Do we get links to all the boxys?? I sure would love to have them!! I've found 14, but would like to have the rest!! Thanks!!

[Fran98765]

that's a good question. dani is braving the hurricane atm, so hold that thought!

[My3CountryBoys]

Oh no! I hope she is ok.

[crlin]

I hope she is ok also!!!!

[amyk]

The Tropical Storm did not hit Dani's area and she is fine :) I will direct her this way to answer any questions.

[drfenning]

Heh, ladies. If you look at my original post (#4 in red) you'll see the link to the boxy locations.

Dani

[crlin]

I had already tried that link and tried it again - all it gives me is a zip file with the following -rels, docProps, xl, & [content_types].xml. None of these can be opened by windows except the xml ones and they are just what looks like HTML code!! Am I doing something wrong?? Thanks!!

[jenjenjasp]

thanks shannon....that is true! I never thought of "collecting"the boxies for scrapping...duh.

Remember to credit Steph Broccolo for Boxy. And I think the flags came from dani?

[crlin]

Thank you for all the links!!! Off to find them now!!

[dj]

Wow! You 2 have really been busy!!! Watch out Kimberly is really making the comments, too!!

All 3 of you-its fun getting comments on los I did a yr or more ago and going back and looking.

[kimberlyschlehahn]

My question is...are we getting 1 point per blinkie on our blog? If so mine is incorrect because I have 5 fan blinkies ;) Thanks!!!

[drfenning]

Hadn't thought about that Kimberly. I can go back and give you credit for all 5. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

[My3CountryBoys]

Dani - I have 4 on my website and got credit for 1 also. (The 4 I have on the website are the same 4 on my signature).

Thanks.

[My3CountryBoys]

Since this contest is coming to an end, are we allowed to start another post Sunday night to get all of our posts in or do we just stick to the 1 post we are currently using.

[dorannmwin]

Shannon, I'd like to post all of my links too. Including my challenges that I can't get to fit, but I'll still throw up the white flag.

I bow down to you, for you truly are a power posting fool!! (I'll get you next month) lol

[linfes]

y'all are too funny.... I'm like you Dorann, I'm having fun posting and doing all my LOs, But i'll never be as good as the Queen of Posting like Shannon. On a good note, I've done more Layouts this month than i've ever done! Thanks Dani for such a fun month

[My3CountryBoys]

You guys are too funny!!! You all gave me a run for my money that is for sure!

I really had fun going back and seeing layouts that were done before I joined here.

Bring it on Dorann...lol
