Extension/Reminder

Sun, 06 Aug 2006 23:40:12 GMT

Just to say, I forgot to put up the voting (as you all can tell)

I'm on holiday from today (leaving in 6 hours) until Wednesday 16th August (if my date is wrong, it's the wednesday of that week)

So, naturally you all have an extension, so if you want to add or change any our current entries, feel free to do so :)

Anyone who has yet to enter, now is your chance, make me proud!!!!!!! :D

Wed. 16th Aug is your new definately final deadline

Thank you all :)

Does everyone need a bigger extension for this weeks challenge?
Or should I just scrap it altogether?

I need opinions

If people have an interest in entering, please tell me

Challenge is here

ETA: I've just decided to scrap the Veronica Mars part of the challenge, and so this weeks challenge is just the torn/fragmented/broken image challenge

And, i've extended it until next Sunday (30th July)

reminder

Sat, 15 Jul 2006 00:01:18 GMT

It makes me sad that no-one has entered the Veronica Mars or the Style challenges this week

It was supposed to end on Sunday, but i'm going to extend it for a week, so the new deadline is Sunday 23rd July at 11pm GMT

Winners and banners for weeks 9 & 10

Wed, 29 Mar 2006 00:12:23 GMT

Gahdzuks would have got best theme, but, as i've said before (and i'm sure i put in the rules) no-one can take more than two places

There was a three way tie for first and a six way tie ( :o ) for second, so, that explains the lack of positions other than "winner"
