ParticipantHey, I’m actually somewhat kinda close to the top! FINALLY MY GENIUS IS RECOGNIZED!
And if you look at total votes, you’re in first place! (At least for now – InterruptingQuirk is just a couple of votes behind.)
In case you’re not familiar with it, you can see the total vote rankings for the current contest on the “Ranked by Total Votes” tab at http://bibliostats.com/farktography/contest/latest.

ParticipantFYI Els, Rent Party has four votable entries. I’d probably eliminate the one marked as “Motorcycle Selfie” since 1) if it is a selfie, it’s not of a kid; and 2) if it is a kid and a selfie, then submitter didn’t take it.

ParticipantAwesome, although be careful with photobucket. A lot of corporate networks block photos hosted there (including my employer and every military base I’ve been on) for whatever reason, so you may be potentially losing votes when people scroll right past that little red x.
Shouldn’t be a problem anymore now that Fark rehosts all images under its own domain. Fark will fetch once from photobucket and then rewrite the image source to point to its cached version so every entry looks like it’s hosted on Fark. To verify, if you think about it and get a chance, try viewing katrinka’s entries from this contest at work and report what you see…

ParticipantThanks Elsinore! Gotta say, that was surprising; but then again, most of them have been. 🙂

ParticipantThanks Els! Believe me, no one will be happier than me when this is all over. Except maybe my wife. 😉

ParticipantI mean, who doesn’t have a selfie or 20 kicking around in their archives or on FB?
*raises hand* Me. My last entry is literally the only selfie I’ve ever taken (and it’s from 9 yrs ago). I only took that one to rub my friend’s nose in the fact that I was skiing and he wasn’t.
It may be that some don’t want their real selves associated with their online personas. Breaks the anonymity I guess.
Anyway, just popping in briefly to say “hi” to everyone. I’m still snowed under with work for another few weeks but had a couple of minutes and a theme that made selections quick and easy, so I thought I’d join the fun this week. And now, back to the code mines…

ParticipantEls, in addition to the couple of Scarlet R’s that BiblioStats picked up, vuprop’s second entry was also used in Blur 2 (the original sources of both entries are identical).

ParticipantDon’t use flickr, so can’t help you there, but regarding this:
if people can’t easily fark from the internet’s largest photo host, farktography may be lost.
I stumbled upon a new Fark feature a couple of weeks back. I don’t know if it’s “legit” to use or something Fark’s looking to keep on the down low, but you can now upload photos directly to Fark without using an image host at all.
Using the new (default) button set, if you click on the Image button, there’s an Upload tab where you can select a file from your machine, upload it to Fark’s image cache, and reference it in your post. I tested it through a Preview cycle, but haven’t actually used it to post entries as I like to host them myself.
