A couple of shots of the jack o'lanterns i carved, outside tonight illuminated by candles. I have no idea why the hiptop camera turned the lighting so white/gray, but it sure looks cool (:

Good luck to all the teams!

Linking to Individual Entries
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayYes, now you can link to individual entries. Up there in the title area is the entry's number. Click that number for a link to just that entry. No fuss, no muss (ok, there was a little muss, but I cleaned it up (hopefully)).

Notice that Hiptop Nation rapidly approaces 1,000 posts!

Halloween Hunt Replacement Team Members
If you were an original team member who hasn't yet posted to a team blog: you're off the team! Sorry, but you had plenty of time.

I am about to send a note out to those on the standby list, which will bring each team back up to eleven members. If they don't show up, well then that's the way it goes.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THOSE USING THE PERSONAL BLOG FEATURE
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayExcuse my shouting, please. (:

By popular demand, filtering has been adjusted so that no email addresses are revealed in the link that displays all posts by a certain person.

This unfortunately means that anyone with an existing link or bookmark to a personal blog must adjust it for the new format (simply click the {*} next to your name to get a link using the new format).

Sorry for the inconvenience, but hopefully that should be it for a while!

First snow of the season this morning here in southern Maine.

Maine is the only place so far where in the space of three weeks I have been swimming in the ocean and walking through a snowfall.

Teams Formed
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayOk, the five teams for the Hiptop Halloween Hunt have been formed, and emails are winging their way to the team members as I type (emails were sent to whichever email address you used to sign up). If you have not received an email yet either your email system is slow or you are on the standby list.

This gives everyone over a week to meet and pre-strategize before the hunt. Good luck!
