Here we go!

Alright.. Everyone wants to do the "random drawing once a week" thing, so I've set up this page. I guess we can set up a topic every week, say on Sunday, and everyone can upload their images over the course of the week..let's say the following Saturday is the deadline, so that we can keep the various themes from getting all mixed up. It also adds a little pressure to get things out the door ;)

None of this is set in stone, I just figured this would be the easiest way to get the ball (point) rolling. If anyone wants to do things differently that's cool.


How do we upload?

The idea is that anyone who wants to participate in the weekly draw becomes an author. If you received an invitation from me via Blogspot, then signing up should be pretty easy. If you want to join the group then email me and I'll send you an invitation that you can use to setup up your login.

Every week, everyone can log in, and make a post containing only their image. You can put the topic in as a label for your post, which will help keep things organized/searchable. Comments on other people's images can be posted via the comments link at the bottom of the post. That should keep the layout fairly clean.

How do we decide what to draw every week?
I'm not sure about that one. I was thinking of just posting the first subject myself, then ideas for next week's topic can get commented on that post. Whichever is chosen will be posted the following Sunday.

What do we upload?
Whatever you want, as long as it's your interpretation of the topic.

Who else can we invite?
I dunno.. how big or small do we want this to be? I know a lot of people who are into doing the weekly draw thing, but on an other hand, we want to keep it between friends, right? We can talk about this in the comments section of this post.
