My Photo Contest - ALL BROKIES, I NEED YOUR VOTE!
« on: May 21, 2009, 12:11:24 am »
Hello everyone!
Some of you I have met, and most of you I haven't but look forward to that day. I have recently submitted a photograph that I took near the Tetons to National Geographic Traveler Magazines' website. I am hoping for a successful win. In order to do so, I need as many votes as I can get. I have attached a link below for you to follow. Please take a moment to click the link. It would mean so much to me! Of course, you don't have to if you don't like the photo. Anyways...thank you so much! Wish me luck!
-Henry

The link took me to a picture taken by Henry J. Ostby. Is this the picture I should vote for? I'll gladly vote for it because I really like it! But I'd like to make certain it is your picture. :)

And how do we vote? I don't see any buttons down there. Could someone walk me through it?

PLEASE DISREGARD THIS.  I WAS CONFUSED.
======================================


I think you just have to click on the link.

When I was there at 11:41 p.m., there were 4 votes. 

To see other entries, click on the "People's Choice" heading.  It will say, "Thanks for voting" by Henry's photo.  That's why I think all you have to do is click on the link Henry supplied.  You'll notice that if you click on "Vote now" by one of the other photos, Henry's total will go down.  But if you click on "Vote now" by Henry's photo, the number will return to what it was.  (They will only let you vote for one photo.)

Good luck, Henry.  It's a great photo!

[Edited to make better sense, hopefully.]

I think to prevent the same person voting multiple times, it logs your IP address and won't let you vote again. I am trying to find the original link.

Huh? ???

What link? The link inside the box when you go over to the page where his picture is posted? Or a different link? That's the only link I've seen and I don't think it is clickable.

Explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old. :laugh:

Shasta, what does it say when you look at it?

I'd just like to make sure I'm doing this correctly so I can vote for his picture. :D

nope  :(

you will need to type in the web address rather than clinking on the link. It keeps reading my IP address and not letting you vote.
sorry for all the kerfuffle!

Okay, so I type in "worldinfocuscontest" and then select National Geographic and then I get this....



Then what should we click on? (I'm on dial-up)

It is confusing.

If you're doing it right, at some point they'll ask you for your email address:


Then they'll send you this email message with a link to follow:


I'm seeing this now:


So I think I did it right.
