the links from one to the other poll?

I had to build the second one to have a link assigned to it so it was not available for about fifteen minutes while I built the second poll. It's not hard, just takes a little time to make it all work. Check it again, I just looked and those links work now.

It's not really hard, as I was told. It does require a little time and a lot of proofing. .. let me know if anything is missing.

I thank you and everyone else for helping me with the confidence part, my nemesis, happens every time I try something new that has responsibility included in the role.

It looks like it's getting noticed now that people are getting online for the evening.

I think the hard part has passed.

but all I did was a lot of pasting and creating polls, which was kind of fun. The best part is now during the actual contest.

But really, it's not hard, it just takes a little time to put things in their proper place... most of it is copy/paste which is pretty easy. I think the hardest part was keeping the submissions post visible.

So don't be scared when it happens to you... it doesn't hurt.

thanks to the support from the photography group! I like the theme too, we got quite a variety of subjects in the pictures. There are over 200 votes as of a moment ago, that's a good turnout, I hope.

Thanx for hosting, great theme!

I tried to keep the polls up in recs but it was hard with political wrangling as competition.

Here's the link to the Finals

I would have missed that one too if not for you.
I guess the political morass really does bury the contest posts.
