UPDATE: August 4/15 - I am clarifying and simplifying these so that there's no confusion... I hope this helps and makes it fun!

These rules are set in place because it helps to make things fair for everyone.

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS:
  1. Members submit 1 photo related to the theme for the week (instructions below if needed).
  2. Members vote on each photo (1 vote per photo) by commenting "vote" under the photo by 7 pm on the last day of the theme. (Likes do not count as votes)
  3. Admin (me) will tally votes at the end of the week and will put winning photos on the blog.
