Comment Challenge for January 2008

[ChristineG]

Hi all! You know the drill....get commenting and Becky will come tell us later if there is anything specific that she wants us to do. :lol:

[ChristineG]

As for me, I just commented on several. :D

Note to self: 8,840

[ChristineG]

I think I have a new goal, I want to reach 10,000 by my birthday, which is Feb. 7. so I have about 5 weeks to do 1200. I think I can, I think I can. :D

[Becky Soto]

Geez, I'm even in here on the first of the month, and look how quick our very own Spotlight Member is!!! :D:D:D

No special instructions, just all your lovely commenting, and then come back here and post that you've commented, and you're in the running for the drawing at the end of the month for a free item of mine!

Happy commenting! :)

[felynn]

Starting the month with 3009. Hope to do 50 per day again.

[~sarah~]

I have just fed a few comments:)

note: start of jan - 7,545

[loonyhiker]

I have commented on new layouts in the gallery today too.

[ChristineG]

Got a bunch of PADs, we have some great photographers at this site. You should go check them out if you haven't. :)

[Muma]

ok gonna give this another go .... didn't quite make 1500 last month so we'll see how I do this month ... I'm on 1350 so lets try for 2000, should be able to do that. 20 comments a day. If it looks like I'm doing good may even try for 2500

[ChristineG]

yack, yack, yack, that is what I do best. :D

[Victoria]

I made the 10,000 by the end of Dec, so starting from there. I was sick in bed all of New Years day, so didn't get any commenting done. Missed all of the fun on New Year's Eve as well due to illness. What a bummer.

[LisasMom]

Didn't do a lot during December, but hope to get back up to speed in January!!

[~sarah~]

I made the 10,000 by the end of Dec, so starting from there. I was sick in bed all of New Years day, so didn't get any commenting done. Missed all of the fun on New Year's Eve as well due to illness. What a bummer.

I hope you are feeling better now Victoria :)

I have fed a few today getting there slowly.

[felynn]

Got my 50 in today

[loonyhiker]

I commented some more today!

[scamptx]

Ok, here's my official jumping on this bandwagon! I'll try to do more this month--as usual, I'm only counting comments that I do on layouts...January 1 I had 3,759 comments--let's see if I can hit 4000 by the end of the month.

[ChristineG]

Not as many for me today, that dang work got in the way, but at least i got some. :D

[loonyhiker]

I commented some more today and my goal is to hit 8000 by the end of the month.

[MarsOlson]

My goal for January is to hit 12,000. That is 596 to go.

[MarsOlson]

so sorry to hear you weren't feeling well Helene. Best wishes for a healthy New Year.

[Victoria]

Thanks for the get well wishes Mars. Feeling back to normal today, so 1st LO posted for this year, and doing some commenting as well. I hope to do at least 500 comments this month.

[ChristineG]

I saw this and knew it was directed at me, even though my post wasn't anywhere on the page. :lol:

[ChristineG]

Well I am over the 9,000 mark. I think I can, I think I can! :D But right now I think I am going to bed. :lol:

[allwright1]

I don't know the drill. I think maybe what you are commenting on is that you have commented about people's pictures in the galleries? If that's it I'm a newbie and I commented on a 3 layouts that I found very interesting. I didn't know there was a contest on it or anything. Please PM me with the answers to my ?s thanx.

[sammdc]

well i commented up a storm today trying to make up for the time i missed while away I am aiming for 11000 by the end of January

[sammdc]

I saw this and knew it was directed at me, even though my post wasn't anywhere on the page. :lol:
lolol :D

[sammdc]

My goal for January is to hit 12,000. That is 596 to go.
you can do it Mars I am aiming to do about the same number myself

[sammdc]

[sammdc]

Just whenever you comment on stuff in the gallery, come back here and say so. If you want you can make a goal about the number of posts you want to do this month, but it is not necessary.

[ChristineG]

Oh and btw allwright, welcome to DSP! :D

[ChristineG]

Just commented a bunch of the grannies

[~sarah~]

i have commented on a few :)

[emandlivsmom]

I try to comment on a couple every time I get on.

If anyone is looking to up their comments, please feel free to make CC on any of my layouts. I try the majority of changes that are recommended, and keep most of them. It is very, very helpful to me. (O:

[MarsOlson]

112 comments today

[snaprebelx]

I comment on almost every photo thats in the first two gallary pages when I first visit the site. And I always comment on whos commented on me. Am I supposed to keep coming back here every time I do?

[sammdc]

only if you want too just check in every other day or so if you want too or once a week is entirely up too you :)

[ChristineG]

got a bunch more tonight.

[ChristineG]

I comment on almost every photo thats in the first two gallary pages when I first visit the site. And I always comment on whos commented on me. Am I supposed to keep coming back here every time I do?

Since I seem to comment in "sessions" (ie. a bunch at once) I just come post after a session or at the end of the day if I am off and on all day. Like Carolyn said, whatever you want to do.

[Victoria]

I've been making comments in the galleries today. So far, just over 100 for the month of January.
Where do I get my blinkie for 10,000 comments?

[MarsOlson]

Here they are Vic: Blinkies (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27650)

[Victoria]

Thanks Mars! I see you are nearly to the 12,000 for the "Special" blinkie. I probalby won't be that long before I can get that one too.

[MarsOlson]

140 comments today

[LisasMom]

Wow Mars! You are one busy lady!! I've done a lot of commenting myself today but no where near to 140!

[sammdc]

yes congrats Mars I've done some today and off to do some more

[snaprebelx]

I have no idea how many I left, I dont remember to keep track, but I made sure that everyone in the first two pages of the gallery, had at least one comment (as I try to do every day)

[felynn]

I've been pretty bad the past few days. Only comemnting I've done is feeding the hungry. I'll get back on track once I finish burning DvDs

[Victoria]

Over 60 comments made today. Now at 10212.

[LisasMom]

Lots of comments today and even did some scrapping too!!

[ChristineG]

I was so crazy today, I hardly hit this site. Did you all miss me? :D I had to come and comment on at least a few PADs before bed.

[ChristineG]

[MarsOlson]

[Victoria]

MARS- Congrats on reaching the 12,000 marker. Well done. You have been one busy poster the last few days, and even managed to get some LO's done. Cheers for "super hero".

[ChristineG]

WTG Mars! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

[ChristineG]

I have been trying to get caught up on all of the happenings over the past few days. I am not even close, but at least I was able to comment on quite a few LOs. :)

[scamptx]

Congrats, Mars!!!

[ChristineG]

I just got a bunch more! I think I am making up for the 2 days I was gone.

[ChristineG]

I broke my goal to hit 10,000 by my birthday into little chunks. If I do 200 each week, I should make it easily. I only have 38 more to go to hit my goal for this week.

[carolat]

Been commenting around - still doing the family thing, so I don't have much time, but I must say, I just love looking through all of the new layouts. It's my 2008 relaxation technique!

[LisasMom]

I just got a bunch more! I think I am making up for the 2 days I was gone.

If any one can do it - it's you!!!! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/00Favs/thyougogirl.gif

[sammdc]

but then with 912 photos/layouts not like I really have problems with scrapping a lot

[sammdc]

i did a heap of commenting tonight lots of great layouts using the QC

[MarsOlson]

151 comments since yesterday. Quickie-a-Day challenge is over now so my comment numbers will probably be a lot less. I need to get some scrapping done! lol

Go you Mars! Im not sure where I'm at, I cant keep track too well. But I did some today but not nearly as many as I ussually do. I did notice that my icon no longer says that I am new to this place. Now it says Ive been around lol.

[sammdc]

yes Mars I know the feeling I need to get more layouts done too

[felynn]

I've had a cold so all I've been doing is feeding the hungry. I hope its over soon so I can get going again.

[Victoria]

95 comments done since my last visit to the thread. Now at 10430.

[~sarah~]

Slowly getting to that 8,000 mark but I am still going lol 140 posts done in the last week or so.

[~sarah~]

[ChristineG]

heheh vivki i am keeping low profile with DWTS as I didnt sign up this month even tho I ahve done like 14 layouts in the last 5 days hehehehe I just feel like i am cheating as i dont use the format suggested in DWTS

What?!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: Get over there and post them girl. I don't care how you do them. If you post 10 layouts between the 7th and the 14th, they count. The SWTS steps are just suggestions. You can still be a star. :D

[ChristineG]

I commented on a bunch yesterday, grannies, SWTS and randoms.

[Victoria]

[sammdc]

[Victoria]

[ChristineG]

Wahoo Carolyn! You are just a cruisin'!

[ChristineG]

[Victoria]

Approaching the 10650 in my comment numbers. Well on my way to 11,000 by the end of January.

[scamptx]

I managed to post a bunch o comments today! It's great to be back!

And Mars, a wonderful job on all the quick commenting and sending of posting bonuses for the QC challenge! I was only able to watch from the sidelines, but you did a great job!

[ChristineG]

I posted off and on all day yesterday and today.

[carolat]

I got a new job, so all I have had time to do is feed the hungry. Once I get my schedule figured out, I can do more - maybe even make my goals!

[sammdc]

congrats on your new job carolat

[~sarah~]

I have made 342 comments since the beginning of Jan must be a record for me LOL still feeding them hungry layouts :)

[carolat]

Thanks! It is what I've always done, designing ads, but this time I'll be working from home - with two kids in the background. I know many moms have done the "work at home" thing, but I'm kind of nervous about it.

[scamptx]

Well, I'm catching up a little...up to 190 since the beginning of the month. I know that's chicken feed to some, but hey! Every little bit helps!

[Victoria]

Now at 10,700 comments. Looking to get to get to 11,000 by the end of January.

[~sarah~]

Less than 100 to go now to reach my target now can I do it before the end of January ???

Guess I need to get yapping lol

[felynn]

Trying to catch up after being sick this month. Still hoping to reach 4k by the end of the month.

[Victoria]

This is comment/post number 10,750 for me. 750 so far this month. I should make the 11,000 by the end of the month. Lots of inspiration in the galleries.

[carolat]

OK, I'll go for it - I'll try to reach 3,000 by the end of the month. I've been putting off mentioning any goals, figuring, it's no big deal, but maybe I'll have a better chance once I say it here - I'll try anything once!

[ChristineG]

Been commenting but keep forgetting to come over and say so. :D

[ChristineG]

Wahoo, only 137 to hit the big milestone of 10,000.

[nkeevers]

Okay, I'm new so explain this challenge to me please.

[felynn]

Well over 100 comements today.

[felynn]

Okay, I'm new so explain this challenge to me please.

[scamptx]

Made some more comments today, saw some really neat layouts!

[nkeevers]

Made more comments! Gosh, so little time, so many great layouts!

[sammdc]

yes and it begins to be a choice do you post comments or make layouts it becomes a real balancing act with time

[ChristineG]

Oh thanks! I was out there last night but I wasn't counting...darn! Now I will.

Not critical that you count. Some of us make a goal for the month, based on the number of posts down below your avatar. But it is not necessary, just do whatever you want. Becky is very laid back about the whole thing. :D

[ChristineG]

I chatted, I commented, been all over the place. :D

[carolat]

Feeding the Hungry Layouts, Checking out photography threads, getting inspiration from all over and commenting on it!

[Becky Soto]

Becky is very laid back about the whole thing.

Becky is very laid back about MOST things!! :lol:

[sammdc]

[sammdc]

[scamptx]

Way to go, Chris!

I've managed to comment a bit over the weekend, plan on doing a bit more today!

[Victoria]

Now at 10,822. I should be able reach 11,000 by the end of January. No problem if I don't scrap much in the next 4 days.

[~sarah~]

40 posts left and counting for me to reach my goal !!

[sammdc]

go victoria and sarah

[~sarah~]

well it was 40 posts my number counter has gone back to 7912 i have lost a load of posts somewhere along the line :( so i need another 88 posts now to reach my target.

[MarsOlson]

It looks like all the counters subtracted about 100 comments

[sammdc]

yes so been out and about trying to make them up

[sammdc]

guess it could have been worse could have been a 1000 eeeek

[ChristineG]

yep been out trying to make up my lost ones too. I know for sure I was over 10,000 and that was 2 days ago and when I got on today I was 9,977 or something.

[Victoria]

Mine lost them too, yesterday moring I was at 10,851, and now am back to 10830, after doing a bunch of comments. Where did they go?

[sammdc]

dunno victoria is very weird

[ChristineG]

got some more done today.

[sammdc]

yes me too making up for the ones I lost

[~sarah~]

been trying to make up for the comments I lost.
I should still be on target :)

[scamptx]

I commented on a total of 382 layouts this month. Not sure if that figure got messed with in the mysterious disappearing comments debacle--I thought I would shoot for 400, so I think I'll tell myself that 18 must have disappeared! :D :D

On to February! :tup: :tup:

[sammdc]

i think i did over a 1000 this month even with losing a 100

[Victoria]

I ended the month at 10,880, so 880 comments for the month.

[~sarah~]

I ended up being 34 posts short of my target after losing the 100 but i got well over 300 posts done this month :)
