Vote requested for Country Friends Gathering Place,

My backup to HT site, Country Friends Gathering Place is a Runboard site.
The Runboard folks have this contest they run once a week, then winners go to a Monthly contest, then at the end is a Year over all contest of the previous monthly winners.

It's a contest of the nicest looking site. Not content, just looks. I guess a Beauty Contest.
The thread below is a direct link into Country Friends Gather Place posting by the Runboard staff explaining that we are in the Monthly group, we won our weekly version.

http://www.runboard.com/bcountryfrie...gplace.f2.t298

The Winner of the Year gets to have 100,000 page views without google ads for their members when they come to that site, that's the prize. And I think a medalian to put on the site. So, this will make it nicer for those that stop by after winning.

Below is the direct link to the Runboard Directory thread for voting.
You may make two votes, but apparently not for the same site. You have to be a member of that site, but to do that you only have to make one post. You'll see some examples if you scroll down.

http://www.runboard.com/btherunboard...ory.f32.t12983

so, if you have a few extra minutes - I'd love to have you vote.

And please feel free to bookmark Country Friends Gathering Place, if something has HT interrupted, or you cannot get on here and need help - that's where I check. (and a few check in there each day anyway.).

thanks for reading all this and considering voting.

Angie

PS: the voting is only good through Friday night.

OK, I voted for the Country Porch, Angie (of course). We're still in the lead. Chris Brown Graffitti Page is in second place.

Thanks Peg -
I appreciate all that care to help out.

I know it's rather silly, but fun, and has pulled out my competitive nature.

Maybe I voted for you. I posted on there that your site gets my vote and put a check mark by the site in the list, but I really couldn't figure out if this was how to vote. I probably am overlooking something obvious.

Melba - I see your post over there. I guess it counted. I'd have to see the numbers before.

Thank you for doing that for the Country Friends Gathering Place (or Angie's porch as we sometimes call it. Must have something to do with the photos I have there.).

Heh heh heh. I think it pulls out the competitive nature in all of us. LOL. Anyway, I voted. Looks like you are ahead by a long way, 40% over 25% at the time I voted.

Best of luck to all.

Mellba, did you vote before or after making your obligatory first post? I had a hard time figuring it out again. It showed the list of ones to vote for, I could make a selection, but nothing to push to submit the vote. Then I made a comment and went back to the list of candidates. That's where it showed the button to push to submit my vote. I think they do it this way to prevent mass voting.

Thanks Peg. It was as you said. When I went back there was a button to push to submit my vote which was not there before, so now I have voted.

Since there is a great influx of members since last night, I thought I'd bring this to the front page one more time. Today is the last day for this voting.

Thanks and Happy New Year.

Angie

Yeah - but it's fun to see how many I can get for the forum :banana02:

Did I mention every so often I get competitive?

At the risk of being a pain -
The 2nd place forum is gaining votes. We're still in 1st place, but I noticed last night that the contest goes through 1-7-10 (I thought 1-1-10).

so, if you don't mind - can you pull up the link to the contest, take a look at the offerings and hopefully - vote for Country Friends Gathering Place. The only winning is to move to the last step of the contest.

Thanks -
you have to post once at each site to be members. The Runboard site will show the check boxes after you've posted on that site at least once.

Angie
