Reference for November VSD

It's that time again! Above is the reference for the November VSD. We wanted something seasonal and Jeanette Jobson graciously offered this.

Remember, there is a new process this month:

What You Need To Know

• You do NOT need to "opt in" via the comments as before. You can leave a comment if you'd like but the list of participants will come from the emails received.
  
• Post your image to your blog on Saturday November 22nd.
• Email your name and the link to your blog post to virtualsketchdate@gmail.com with "VSD post link" in the subject.
• Come back and visit this blog on Sunday November 23rd for the post of links.

Enjoy!

Plans for November VSD

Just wanted to give everyone the dates for the VSD this month and explain a new process.

New Process
VSD has grown beyond all expectations, we now have over 100 subscribers to the blog! We usually have just under half that number participate in any given month. This is fabulous news! However, it does complicate the process a bit. Everyone likes the post of links, but to have to visit 50 blogs and gather links is too big of a job. So we are going to try something new this month.

We will still have a post of links on the Sunday after the VSD. However, we are going to try and make it easier to make that post.

Essentially we now have an email address. Once you post your image on your blog, you will need to send an email to the address with "VSD post link" in the subject. The body of your email should contain your name as you wish it to be displayed and the link to your post. Remember, as the administrator will be going through roughly 50 emails, they will just be cutting and pasting to make a post of links. (Do not include your image in the email or as an attachment, you need to post the image on your blog. Your email should only have your name and the link to your VSD blog post - don't just give the link to your blog homepage.)

What You Need To Know

• Reference will be posted Friday November 14th.
• You do NOT need to "opt in" via the comments as before. You can leave a comment if you'd like but the list of participants will come from the emails received.
  
• Post your image to your blog on Saturday November 22nd.
• Email your name and the link to your blog post to virtualsketchdate@gmail.com with "VSD post link" in the subject.
• Come back and visit this blog on Sunday November 23rd for the post of links.

So there you have it gang. We'll see how it works this month. We want a nice happy medium between it being easy to see everyone who posted for a particular month and it not being a mountain of work for administrators.
