Hello, I love you

The grid was hopping this week with nearly enough votes to open up the invitational. We didn’t quite get there, but we’re inching closer, which means that each voter has a merry three votes this week. We’ve got a great line up, so let’s get started. Read, enjoy, comment, take your time (and extra cup of coffee or whathaveyou), and choose your top three.

Do your three picks have a story to tell? Do they have clear, central conflicts? Is the writing concise, compelling, and free of grammatical and structural errors? (Seriously, now…) Think of each vote as an endorsement of a well-written piece, not as a favor to a fellow writer who just needs some blogging love.

Challenge grid voting starts here

The challenge grid crowd favorite and top row will be determined by popular vote.

Everybody gets THREE votes

Click on each thumbnail to read the posts before voting. Click on the voting icon to vote for a post after reading. Do not vote for your own post, please.

Read the posts before voting

We are responsible voters here at yeah write. Read, evaluate, vote on merit. We’re still writing the yeah write way, and we want the votes to reflect it.

Voting is open until Thursday, 10:00 p.m. EST

  • If it’s after 10:00 p.m. EST [-5 GMT] on Thursday when you’re trying to vote, voting is closed. There will be no more voting icons on the thumbnail and voting will not work.
  • Once you’ve voted for your favorite posts, you’re done voting. The voting icons will disappear.
  • Voting for your own post should be disabled. If it’s not, please don’t vote for your own post.
  • Once you’ve voted for the best posts on the grid, you are then free to campaign for votes for your favorite entries.
  • If you’d like to see the current vote tallies after you’ve voted, refresh the page.
  • If you ask your people to vote for your entry, please let them know they have two votes, and they should vote for yours only if it’s one of the best on the grid. Campaigning for your own targeted votes is highly discouraged.
  • Yeah write and the Inlinkz app allow only one set of votes per IP address. When campaigning for votes for your favorites, please ask outside voters to read this section before voting. It will lessen their confusion and curb their clicking enthusiasm.
  • Don’t make Erica M’s kids have cold cereal for dinner because she’s ignoring them while tracking people driving from hot spot to hot spot to vote nine different times. So uncool, no matter how much her kids like cold cereal.

Winner’s post published Friday by noon EST

Once the voting ends, the challenge grid will sort itself from highest number of votes to the fewest. Ties are broken by number of page views. Until the winner’s post is published, none of the sorting will be official, but you can still get a good idea of where everyone ended up until the votes are validated.

New vote proctor in town

Yeah write editor Stacie has taken over the vote monitoring from Erica M. Stacie places justice before mercy, so think twice before voting for yourself or attempting to vote more than once by using another IP address. It’s one voting round per IP address, one voting round per person. Thank you!

Yeah write #150 voting is open…
