As people complete challenges, group reads, and topplers (read-a-thons), we award them with badges. We have a folder called "Wall of Fame", and everyone gets a wall on which they will find their achievements.

Your wall!

[Janice, Moderator]

Thing Two, your badge has been posted as well.

[Camilla]

Thanks for the explanation, Janice! Must immediately check my wall!

[jaxnsmom]

Congratulations to everyone who's completed a section!!

I finished Slick's Slugs :)

[Nancy H]

I've completed Slick's Slugs and am almost finished with the next one, as well. I just now updated them. Do we need to post in this thread what books were read for each section, or do you see that in our other threads?
Thanks, and thank you for the work you do for us.

[Janice, Moderator]

Your badge has been posted on your wall Nancy.

You report the books you read on your persooal thread. This one just lets me know that you've finished a section.

T2, I love your picture and your theme! And thank you for making me feel better about being so slow on this challenge. I have been dragging my feet with this one! : ) I guess we can be sisters in crime (reading). haha
I can't think of anyone I would rather have for a partner! : )

Best wishes on your reading progress.

[Janice, Moderator]

Beep! Beep! You're badge has been posted, Connie!

Thanks a million, Janice! Don't you love the Roadrunner! : )

I can give you Slick's Slugs, but need clarification as per the messages on your threads for the others.

I'm so sorry, Anna! I somehow missed your message. Either it was in an internet black hole, or I was. It's posted now.

Hi Poongothai,
This reporting thread is for those who finish the stages in the Year Long Chunkster Challenge.

As long as you posted your score for the Mammal Challange in the reporting thread for it, you will get a badge. Rusalka will give folks a chance to post their scores this week, then she will update everyone's wall. There are lots of new members and new walls and it takes some time to get all of the posting done for the monthly challanges and group reads. Please be patient. I know it is hard to wait but the wonderful new badge will be worth it. :)

[Janice, Moderator]

Thanks Cherie for catching that.

Just to add to Cherie's comments, each activity has it's own reporting thread. There is so much going on in this group that it can be confusing.

I made your wall "Debbie C's Wall" for Cheldesa, but I change that to whatever you want. We have another Debbie in the group.

Done, but please remind us when you post your successes on all the activities that grant badges, or you could end up with duplicates. :) It would be helpful if you could leave a message on your wall too, because I often verify that I have the correct wall by the avatar.
