Please repost and include your Readerboard name.
Since you are the only Keltie in the challenge you may want to change your Readerboard name from "Keltie Lee" to "Keltie". If so, you will need to request it in Readerboard Names.
Please understand that it took us months to sort out the Readerboard and Readerboard names. We need to keep names and reporting consistent to be fair to everyone
