Go on then. How close did you get? I reckon that anybody who managed at least 15 posts should get one of Create's badges, and we will need to sort out a special I did it! badge for the full completer's like last year. Icy....?

I missed a few 12 midnight deadlines and collapsed exhausted in the final few days, so I am counting it as a technical fail but a moral win. Particularly as last year I only got as far as two weeks.

Please ignore the extra apostrophe.

But has everyone seen the Post this week? A87778732

I was a big fat failure this year. But I read as much as I could find of other people's journals, which was much more fun.

This was last year's badge:



I wrote like the wind

in h2g2 NaJoPoMo 2011



It would need a date change at the very least...

I did it. Not as entertainingly as some, but there were words in my journal every day. And I just found out yesterday that one of the people I know irl and have on fb had been following my fb links to read my "What's-that-called" entries, so the bait aspect has been working, even if I don't think I managed to net anyone.

Did about 10 - good fun though, and I enjoyed reading and commenting on other people's journals.

I came in just after midnight three or four times, but basically kept up a post a day.

I have badges and will be handing them out. Not the I did it badges yet. That might need a bit more thought/ technical skills than I posses.

Icy's badge in post 4 will do -- just change 2011 to 2012. I've updated my one already to make it dual-purpose.

Just checked, it's invisible in Pliny, so here it is, updated and with added spaces that will need to be removed around the < and > signs:


< P ALIGN="CENTER" >
< TABLE BORDER="2" >
< TR > < TD ALIGN="CENTER" >< B >I wrote like the wind< /B >< /TD >< /TR >
< TR > < TD > < PICTURE EMBED="CENTER" BLOB="B107443" ALT="A polkadot typewriter"/ > < /TD > < /TR >
< TR > < TD ALIGN="CENTER" > < LINK H2G2="A87709062" > < B > in h2g2 NaJoPoMo 2012 < /B > < /LINK > < /TD > < /TR >
< /TABLE >
< /P >

Spaces other than those adjacent to < or > should be left in place, e.g. between P and ALIGN.

If you've participated in both NaJoPoMos, then just duplicate the relevant line, eg:

{P ALIGN="CENTER"}
{TABLE BORDER="2"}
{TR}{TD ALIGN="CENTER"}{B}I wrote like the wind{/B}{/TD}{/TR}
{TR}{TD}{PICTURE EMBED="CENTER" BLOB="B107443" ALT="A polkadot typewriter"/}{/TD}{/TR}
{TR}{TD ALIGN="CENTER"}{LINK H2G2="A87773412"}{B}in h2g2 NaJoPoMo 2012{/B}{/LINK}{/TD}{/TR}
{TR}{TD ALIGN="CENTER"}{LINK H2G2="A87709062"}{B}in h2g2 NaJoPoMo 2011{/B}{/LINK}{/TD}{/TR}
{/TABLE}
{/P}


(replace { with < and } with > in the above text)

Nice work-around, Icy.

I managed my 30 entries all by the relevant midnight. I have no skill whatsoever with guideml, so will have to leave that to others.

No skill with Guide-ML? You have marquee-scrolling badges on your PS

I made those years ago, and I think I probably copy-pasted all the code.

I did it, though I may have missed a deadline or two.

Unfortunately, I forgot to link my entries back here most of the time. I'm much too lazy to do it now.
