No problem! It gets hidden because not everyone is cool enough to be part of the elite level 2 club yet :-)
Question... is this for anyone to just join at will? If so, I think I'd like to try. So far, I'm at a pace where I think I'll beat my 60 for the year goal by a long shot. Might make the 100 mark for this challenge and want to try. Also, if we hit level 1 this year, does it start over for next year or do we start at level 2 for 2014?
Yes, Steven, anyone can join. This is one runs parallel to the main GRs challenge, so it runs from January 1st to December 31st, starting over every year at Level 1.
Ah... well, I might hit level one this year, but I'll never hit level 2 haha!I'll post my books soon then. :)

How to Hyperlink to a Specific Post
Do you want add a hyperlink from your ~ Reading Goals ~ Folder to your post in a challenge? (This folder may have a different name, depending on which group you post in.) Here’s how:
1. Once you set up your folder, click on the “some html is ok” look-up at the top of the
comment box and follow the Link directions.
2. You want to copy the following from the look-up
3. Cut and replace the section of html code (in-between the two quotation marks;
made bold in the example below) with the post's link.
4. You can copy that by placing your cursor on the "post's time stamp"
(for lack of a better term) located in the beige bar to the far right.
(Screen #1, red arrow.)
Screen #1
5. On the drop down menu, use your right-mouse-click button on “Copy shortcut”
or “Copy link address” and copy link location.
(Shown below bold & between the two yellow lines. As you can see, it can be quite long.)
6. Next, change the “my link text” to what you want, such as the name of the
challenge and the post number. (In bold below.)
Result :
~ The 50 States ~ Message #210
Standing Out
Instead of my link text, do you want to make a certain link bold?
See the part of the html code where you would insert your link name, just insert the bold commands:
<a href="http://www.goodreads.com" ><b>my link text</b></a>Results:
