The invitational grid is open for editors’ picks!
Thanks to everyone hanging out with us this week, we hit more than 30 on the challenge grid. Now the yeah write editors have the privilege of selecting our picks while the rest of the Internet is handling the popular vote. If your entry not only met our submission guidelines but improved upon them, we’ll likely welcome you to the invitational. It’s our way of saying thanks for navigating the labyrinth while bringing us your best blog post of the week.
If you happen to see a little blue button that says “add your link,” that’s not for you. Please scroll down the page to the challenge grid so you can vote for the four entries you’ve scored the highest by technical and artistic merit.
Congrats, congrats to the editor picks!

Did you follow the link from the badge on a friend’s blog? Welcome! Please check out our submission guidelines, then jump right in. We’d love to have you.
Did you land here out of curiosity because you saw a whole bunch of hits from yeah write in your wordpress.com stats? Welcome! That means somebody at yeah write stumbled over your post, thought it was a good fit for us, and submitted your post for consideration. We hope you don’t mind!
If you like, please grab the challenge badge from our sidebar, install it using the HTML view of your post, then visit the other entries on the grid. You’re just in time to vote for the best submissions in the writing challenge. In the spirit of yeah write, even though someone else may have added your post on your behalf, please don’t vote for yourself. Let our community rally around your awesomeness.
The challenge grid is open for popular voting!
The challenge grid crowd favorite and top row winners will be determined by popular vote. Be cautioned: yeah write isn’t an Internet clicking contest, and the votes are moderated for fairness. Read each post before voting.
Everybody gets four votes
>We use scaled voting each week for the challenge grid. This week, we each get four votes because there are between 31 and 40 entries. Click on the thumbnail to read the post before voting. Click on the voting icon to vote for the 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. EDT
- If it’s after 10:00 p.m. EDT [-4 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 four 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 four best 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 just cannot resist asking your people to vote for your entry, please let them know they have four votes, and they should vote for yours only if it’s one of those four best on the grid. Campaigning for your own targeted votes is highly discouraged.
- Yeah write and the Inlinkz app allow only one round of four 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.
Winners’ post published Friday by noon
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 winners’ 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.
Refreshing the page, watching the votes go up or down?
When the votes go down, that’s a yeah write editor eliminating targeted or duplicate votes from enthusiastic BFFs and people accidentally, incidentally or purposely voting for their own posts.
The vote tallies show only from the same IP address you voted from the first time, so if you leave home and get to the gym and, oops, now can’t see who’s in the lead, please wait until you get back home. Your voting again to reveal the new tallies just makes much more work for our editors who, in exasperation, may delete first and ask no questions later. One voting round per IP address, one voting round per person. Thanks.
Voting for yeah write #167 weekly writing challenge is open…
