The last time I tried that, I lost my entire blog (I forgot to save the base code) and had to start all over again. Now I can't find the site that gives you the codes for the three columns! So - well done, amazing, and I'm thrilled for you. Let us know when the challenge is ready for signing up :-D<BR/><BR/>PS and if you don't know, your mini challenge answers are up on my blog now!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-66223020176404104902009-04-05T18:25:00.000-05:002009-04-05T18:25:00.000-05:00I think it's a great idea, but I've given up on ch...I think it's a great idea, but I've given up on challenges, so I probably won't participate.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-78168777420524494392009-04-05T13:13:00.000-05:002009-04-05T13:13:00.000-05:00What a great idea, Molly!

I looked into setting up an account, but I haven't actually done it. I'm happy to help; we can muddle through together! If you join Wendy's email list (from http://caribousmom.com), you can ask for help there too -- people there are very friendly.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-25224032884381665542009-04-05T07:39:00.000-05:002009-04-05T07:39:00.000-05:00I am SO very excited that there is interest in thi...I am SO very excited that there is interest in this challenge. I will work on details and publish an official post later this week. I have already decided to change the dates slightly to mesh with the summer vacation theme (Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend).<BR/><BR/>Beth F --- I thought about Mr. Linky last night and knew I needed to added that piece of the puzzle, was was clueless how to do that. Thanks for the comments, and I may be picking your Mr. Linky brain a little later on :)<BR/><BR/>I have some ideas brewing for the prize --- I hope it will be enjoyed.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414201637917215413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-28964073084756786722009-04-05T07:29:00.000-05:002009-04-05T07:29:00.000-05:00Great idea and I'm in!!!

Here's another thing you need: Mr. Linky!<BR/><BR/>(1) Set up a sign-up post where people link their "I'm participating" post (not their blog, but their post) and commit to which level they're doing. Use Mr. Linky. This sets up a list of committed participants.<BR/><BR/>(2) On May 2 set up another post with Mr. Linky where people can post links to their book reviews. Not everyone posts reviews, but many of your participants will want this -- also lets us all see what everyone is reading (helps keep the sense of community and exposes us to new books).<BR/><BR/>(3) On Sept. 30 set up another Mr. Linky post where people can link their wrap-up posts. This is where a prize can come in. You can ask a question or just require a wrap-up post. People without blogs can leave a comment.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Linky is pretty cheap -- one free post and I think it's something like $10 for unlimited Mr. Linky's for a year.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-18937537091580810712009-04-05T03:10:00.000-05:002009-04-05T03:10:00.000-05:00You've done a good job of covering most of the bas...You've done a good job of covering most of the bases in regards to challenges, Molly. :-) It's a great idea for a challenge!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-65634451341354570222009-04-04T23:40:00.000-05:002009-04-04T23:40:00.000-05:00I would definitely join this challenge.

Looks like you got knowledgeable people for buttons and advice already. Book gift certificates are nicest because the winner can buy something they really wanted for themselves. But it's really up to you. Most people don't participate because there's a prize offered. Sign me up when it's a go.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265301061583417768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-71892109148793190972009-04-04T21:52:00.000-05:002009-04-04T21:52:00.000-05:00I think it is a great idea!

I don't know how if you are missing anything or how to post it. I think prizes should be what you are comfortable doing. Maybe all who successfully complete the challenge could be entered in a drawing for a gift card to a book store or Amazon or some such thing? I'm afraid I wouldn't be helpful with the button either. I hope you get some more feedback and proceed with this -- great idea!Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-50844042980108547282009-04-04T20:11:00.000-05:002009-04-04T20:11:00.000-05:00That is a great idea, Molly!

For a Novel Challenge blog, just email Wendy from Caribou's Mom and she'll put it on the blog.
