It’s time to vote!

This week, it’s popular voting only without the invitational grid or editors’ picks. For you newbies: the invitational grid is an invitation-only grid curated by yeah write editors that opens if the challenge grid hits 30 or more posts. Maybe we’ll host one next week, especially if everyone spreads the word about the yeah write community and how awesomely supportive it is. Until then, let’s roll.

Challenge grid voting

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

Everybody gets five votes

We’re using the new Inlinkz widget during voting! It’s in beta, so if you have any issues while trying to vote for the five best on the grid, please leave them in comments and we’ll pass them along to Inlinkz admin. If you’ve read this, leave a variation of the phrase “I want the truth, but only if it isn’t boring” in comments.

Click on the thumbnail to read the post before voting. Click on the heart in the upper right corner of the thumbnail to vote for the post after reading.

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

[unordered_list style=”green-dot”]

• If it’s after 10:00 p.m. EST [-4 GMT] on Thursday when you’re trying to vote, voting is closed. There will be no more hearts or voting icons on the thumbnail and voting will not work.
• Once you’ve voted for your five favorite posts, you’re done voting. The hearts will show as red for your faves, and, depending on your browser, hearts on all other entries will either disappear or show as gray.
• 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 five 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 ask your people to vote for your entry, please let them know they have five votes, and they should vote for yours only if it’s one of those five best on the grid. Campaigning for your own targeted votes is highly discouraged.
• Yeah write and the Inlinkz app allow only one round of five 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.

Winners’ 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 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.

Yeah write #111 voting is open…
