The invitational grid is open for editor picks!

You did it. Thanks for spreading the word about our humble little community and bringing in four yeah write virgins. Your recommendations and persistence brought the challenge grid to 30+ entries which unlocks the invitational grid for the editors to select their favorites. From the editor picks will come one jury prize winner, our first one in weeks. How exciting!

Throughout the day, while the entire Internet is voting on the challenge grid for the popular vote, the yeah write editors will be filling up the invitational. If you happen to see a blue button that says “add your link”, it’s not for you. Just makes it easier for the editors to submit their favorites here on the yeah write blog. The jury prize winner will be announced in Friday’s winners’ post.

Challenge grid voting

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

Everybody gets five votes

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

[unordered_list style=”green-dot”]

• 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 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 EDT

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 #115 voting is open…
