Shellbelle ’s comments from the The Challenge Factory group.

Hahaha! Got it☺

I'm working on the basic html...and I'll just add stuff to it as we go. I'll get to the Images in a bit!

Rin, we are hyperlinking to our comments..is that what you mean? Just do the same thing you would for a regular link but right click on the time stamp on the comment you want to link to, and then choose copy shortcut...past that in the link and it will take you directly to the post...I think that's what you were asking but if not ignore me and tell me again what you were wondering!lol As far as freezing the post...do you mean like I did it the Group/Mod Intro?

Love it...you know I'm in...what is S&G's?

Unfortunatly I didn't get all of the How To's finished, but they will be done soon☺ And if I missed an important one let me know!

Doing the GoodReads 101 what are some tips/how to's ect that I should add? Same with the Group How To's...

Okay, for the challenges that are here actually in this group there are not a bunch of list to be made, but here are a few we could do...

♦The Years-Maybe link to the Best of (insert years), but I'm not sure it's needed, and it would be time consuming.

♦Audio Books- I think having a list a highly recommended Audio books would be great☺

♦Dystopian- (You may have this started already in the genre's)

♦Romance- The romance challenge you have up has so many various themes, but maybe we could just add books rated 4+ stars in various themes/genres

♦Themes- This could be a big project, but we can always start working and let people add in listopia...we have your romance challenge with themes, and I have the one I'm making so eventually we could do list for some of the commonly used themes☺

*Okay other than those the challenges didn't really seem like a list would work. Tech. we could make one for the October with all the letters and colors but that's a lot of work for a monthly challenge...we could just create a sugesstion thread for the monthly challenge instead where people can share their ideas.

Let me know what listopia list you want me to start or add to and I can do that too☺

Jen, easy or hard? Or have you decided yet? And Rin is this what you were thinking for this challenge? I was trying to go off of your suggestion...

That's what I keep thinking too Rin, but I'm only 7 or so ahead. Jen, you'll catch up in no time☺

Well since you said please.... Okay I'm writing myself a big note so I don't get distracted and forget!lol

Jen, how can I help you? Just tell me what to do and how you want it done and I'll get on it.

Jen are you ahead or behind?

Okay in order to start cleaning up the group, and getting it to look like it will when we launched I moved all the threads I had set up for us to have discussion in to the Archives...I didn't want to delete just in case there was info we still needed...

I'll post this in the whozit's and whatzits too

Tell us What You Think!!!

•In order to make this group work for you let us know what you are thinking! What is working for you? What should we change? A Challenge you would like to see? Anything at all, we want to hear it!!!

It worked! Thanks for setting that up! I'm working on stuff tonight, and then I will hopefully start inviting people tomorrow! I'll let everyone know when I do and then you guys can invite people too☺

Good idea...it certainly can't hurt anything. So what do I need to do for you to add me to the page owners thing? You can search me by Shelly Tallent or my email which you should have, or I 'liked' the RIME page so I don't if you can find me through there
