HOH COMPETITION
As bloggers you need to know how to make buttons for your blog and your blog parties! Well, MomDot is going to a host a “31 bloggers in 31 days” blog party all of May to celebrate MY 31st birthday on May 31st.
So is your next task…….here are the graphics.
Whomever makes me the best graphic button for the party, will win HOH and get to flat out kick off one person and we will go right into HOH again. I will send the graphics to voting.Please use your creativity. I do not care if someone helps you create something as i know that not everyone understands all aspects of graphics, but you may NOT hire someone.
MomDot ran an article on how to create a blog button. See, I’m helping you!
Please have in by 10pm tonight.
I will accept a 250/125 and/or a 125/125.

I just sent mine
just sent my button in… glad that’s over with! whew!
@ Christy aka The Write Gal:
You’ll have to fight me for that honor!
I forgot to add I just submitted mine via email.
I did it!! I made a stinkin’ button. The first ever in my life and believe me it looks like it. You should let people guess whose is whose. I am sure I could win the comp for the worst button LOL.
Just emailed mine as attachments…hope that works! Off to put kids in bed. I’m exhausted–resizing, cropping and text boxes, OH MY!
@ Trisha-admin:
Ok I emailed it…..hope the link works!
@ Trisha-admin:
what’s the email address? I don’t see it in the contact section!
Very creative Trish. I am loving this ANTB competition and I can’t wait to see the buttons.

the graphic is fine, to my email please
trisha@momdot.com
Ok a few questions so I can finish up!! Where exactly am I putting this? On the comments here, email, blog post…..????? Do you need it to be functional at this time (with HTML code) or merely the graphic for the button?
Sent mine off, now I can go feed the cranky kids and husband.

no
Do we need to have MomDot.com on the button?
Dore’ wrote:
LOL, that was nice of you! I’ll return the favor
@ Trisha-admin: Got it! May only send one anyway…it’s taking a long time! LOL
Dore’ wrote:
completely up to you and how you design.
Emily wrote:
yes, i was planning on anonymously posting them.
Emily wrote:
you can send both but its the same entry..make sense? Like if your #1, both banners will be side by side. You wont get two seperate chances.
And if we design both a 125×125 and a 250×125 can we submit both? Some people prefer one size and some the other…had to ask!
@ Dore’: What a great idea! Nothing like driving more traffic to our sites! I think I will do the same for tomorrow’s post!
Is there anything other than “31 Bloggers in 31 Days” that you would like on the button? do we need to have MomDot.com somewhere on the button?
@ Emily:
I was thinking the exact same thing Emily! I think that would be much more fair!!
@ Trisha-admin: Will the banners be anonymously posted so it’s more a vote on design rather than ANTB contestant popularity? Just checking!
Just wanted to let you ladies know that I just put some linky love for the Top 10 in the ANTB competition on my latest post: http://doresdiaries.com/2009/04/happy-anniversarybirthday-to-you-aka.html…
Aww…. that was SO sweet of me… Future HOH, please remember my kind gesture! LMAO
FUN! Good luck ladies!
@ Stacey: Still on my first try! LOL
Thanks for the info, gals. Got it!
I am really bad at this, on my 5th try now, maybe this one will be the charm.
@ Emily:
I believe 31 bloggers will be hosting a giveaway in honor of Trisha’s Birthday.
Emily wrote:
yes.
Its my birthday on may 31st. Ill be 31.
So i am hosting a party where every day ill announce a blog site to visit where that blogger will be doing a giveaway in honor of ME!
31 prizes, 31 bloggers
Can someone tell me more about “31 bloggers in 31 days?” Are there 31 giveaways as well? Want to get a better feel for the event!
@ Tara: My DH is a big Linux/open source guy so I have GIMP. It’s free and it really can do some great things, but it’s not very user friendly, especially for those without a graphic design background!
@ Christy aka The Write Gal: ROTFL! I’m no expert but I’d be willing to help you once I get mine done…that is, as long as you don’t vote me off if you win! LOL
@ Emily:
oh what program are you using Emily? I JUST dl’ed PSE 7, today, so you know I’m not real experienced with it! I’ll give it my best shot!
Emily I don’t think there is an option to bring someone back. That is probably just my wishful thinking. Trisha might have well asked me to build a bridge LOL.
@ Emily:
Is that what the screaming is all about coming from that direction??
Christy aka The Write Gal wrote:
Is there an option to bring someone back? If so I’m tempted to make the same offer. LOL I can do very basic design but probably not anything vote-worthy! Plus I’m using a new program and still learning how everything works. I’ll be giving it my best shot, though if you hear swearing from miles away it’s most like me yelling at my computer!
Trisha you must have something up your sleeve…I don’t possibly see how you will finish the comp this week. Good Luck Ladies!!
I have never made a button in my LIFE.
Is there another way to make one without using shareware? I cannot add one other program to my computer or I swear that thing is going to crash. UUGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! If any of you ladies who are no longer in the comp wants to help me, maybe I will just have to bring you back in if I am the new HOH!!
Congrats top 10! When is the next HOH?
@ Trisha-admin:
I’m going to be looking forward to DH’s graveyard shifts because I get more
momdotcomputerme time.hang out on my forum and chat w/ us! Thats what yall do!
@ Emily:
LOL I’m trying to think the same thing. My dishes might get done!
I’m wondering what I’ll do with all my “free time” once this competition is over!
Congrats ladies! I can’t wait for the competition!!
