Hi Julie, Hmmm, not sure what is going on. I just tested on my blogspot account on the sidebar and post and it worked. Here it is maybe when it was highlighted something was left out. Here is the link tested below:
So cute!! I have a 2 month old!
I made a May photo a day challenge! Hope to see you over at my Fb page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bachmeyer-Photography/159347214154880 and my blog !! http://sailingwithbarefeet.blogspot.com/2012/04/re-do-may-photo-challenge.html
The pictures have to have been taken between April 11 and May 11?
Hi Brooke, Hope you join in on the fun! Yes, if you want to submit pictures for the challenge it should be pictures you snapped between April 11th and May 11th.
I have a few of my pictures all on one blog post. It is not letting me link up to the same post, saying that the link already exists. Is there a way to post to that same link to show the other pictures? Thanks!
Melissa,
Glad your joining in on the fun! What you need to do is: if more than one photo in the same post: add a #1, #2, #3 etc to the end of your url address) For example, http://www.amomnotapro.blogspot.com/2012/04/12-days-of-capturing-motherhood-through.html#1 for the second picture add #2 etc…
We loved having you link up to our “Strut Your Stuff Saturday.” Hope you’ll be back soon! -The Sisters
Visiting from1929 Charmer. sounds like a fun party especially for moms with little ones around still!
Yes, I joined in the fun and have had a fun time doing it! Thanks for stopping by.
Wonderful contest!!! Just wondering, do toddlers in diapers count as “nudity”?
Pennies, No that is perfectly fine. Glad to have you join in!
I would love to join in, but my kids are grown and live hours away. Buy what a great idea, Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration over at Sunday’s Best!
hello… number #165 says Prompt 5…but I meant to put #Prompt 9-Rule of Thirds on that one. i have it labeled on my blog post, but i couldnt change it here. i dont know if there is anything i can do about that…
Reply
julie I will look into it right now. thanks for the heads up. What you need to do is just go to picture 165 and click on the red X that shows up beside it and it will ask you if you want to delete it. Delete and then link it up again with the correct info.
