CAlling all Blogville! VOTE NOW!!!! 2nd Annual Dogs of Blogville Contest


It’s Here!!

Posted on August 25, 2013 by
It’s time!  It’s time!!  The 2nd Annual Dogs of Blogville Contest has now begun.
First I’d like to say a really BIG thank you to Julie from the Daily Dog Blog, she’s worked so hard resizing all the photos so they would work nice on the blog.  She will also be the one who handles all the technical details of the design and upload of the calendar.  She is truly one amazing lady and a really good friend. Make sure you stop by and say hi.
So this is it.  We’ve crossed our i’s and dotted our t’s t’s and dotted our i’s. We’ve been as thorough as we can be and we’ve learned a few things along the way and I’m sure we’ll learn a few more things in the next week.  In fact, I think I’m going to make a page specifically for this contest.  Hopefully next year will run much smoother for us. :-D
This is the voting portion of the Dogs of Blogville Calendar contest.  It’s all about YOU and how YOU promote your dogs/blog.
Here’s how it works.  You tweet, facebook, blog whatever you want but direct people to come and vote for your photo.  The photo with the most votes will be on the cover AND will get their choice of which month they’d like to be featured in.  I have to forewarn you, last year’s winner All Things Collie really brings their A game, this lady is hardcore. :-)
The next eleven photos with the top votes will be featured in order (minus whatever month the winner chooses.)
All participating dogs will be featured in the calendar on the back page(s).
After the voting process is complete, we will give you information about ordering.
It’s not so much a popularity contest as much as it is you getting the word out and having people come and vote.
I’ve tried to organize everything alphabetically but I’m human and I can make mistakes, if you see one please let me know and I’ll do my best to fix it.
One more quick note before I turn you loose to look at photos.  You will notice that there are two blogs in the list that don’t have photos.   I’ve contacted both blogs and am giving them another day to get their photos in, if I don’t have have their photos by Monday, I will sadly have no other choice but to remove them from the competition.
About the voting process.  Voting opens today at 12:00 noon Eastern Standard time (NYC) it is limited to one IP ADDRESS per 24 hour period.   For those of you with multi-computer households it is important to remember that any smart phone, tablet, computer that shares a network also shares an IP address.  If you vote on your computer then try and vote on your phone, chances are it won’t work, unless you disconnect from your network. If someone tells you they tried to vote and they can’t, then that is probably the issue.
The voting tool is AFTER the photos, all you do MOM is scroll down to the little circle next to Sampson and Delilah’s name and click it.   The move down to the button that says VOTE and click that.  Easy Peasy!!
