Hey everybody!

Probably the biggest thing that didn’t go well last time was entry voting.  So we’d like your help to artificially create similar conditions as last time, that way we can tweak a few things before the real compo begins.

So here’s what I’d like you to do.  First off:

READ THIS CAREFULLY

We’re going to create a fake compo that happened sometime in the year 2000.  The year is important, because we don’t want to litter the front page with these posts.

SERIOUSLY! READ THIS CAREFULLY!

Create a new post and do ALL the following.

1. Choose the category LD Test from the categories box.
2. Add a Final tag in the Post Tags box (don’t forget to click Add)
3. Set the date to any day in the year 2000.  You can change this in the Publish box, by clicking Edit beside “Publish immediately”.  *IMPORTANT*
4. Upload a screenshot to the blog! You must upload a new image! Tutorial here.

Give your post a reasonable (or silly) name.  Pick a tasteful (or silly) picture.  And fill the body of the post with some text, just for completeness.

DID YOU ACTUALLY READ ALL 4 THINGS?

If you did this right, you should show up here:

Checklist (circle your answer)

• I picked a date in Y2k (i.e. year 2000) [True/False]
• I uploaded an image to the blog [True/False]
  • My image shows up in the grid [True/False]
• I couldn’t think of a 4th point, but is your image showing up in the grid? [True/False]

If you’re screenshot is uploaded correctly, it should show up when you click “show me the grid” at the top of that page.  If you don’t, then for whatever reason your image isn’t in your posts local gallery (some wordpress feature we’re utilizing to make the grid work).  Delete your image, and re upload it (i.e. step 4).

Thanks!

PS: The answers should all be true.
