Oooh, what an adorable theme! I have plenty of dollie besties that would love to help me out with this challenge. <3
This sounds so fun!

Question: Does anyone have any tips on how to compress their photos down to 500 x 375 pixels? Last time I tried it looked bad IMO. I don't think I did it right, and I'm sorry if it was a headache for you, KiraKira!
If you use Flickr to host your photos, it's one of the optional sizes when you click on Download photos, View all sizes. Or there's something close to it based on the size photo your camera produces.
Here's what the screen looks like for me: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cornflower...6/sizes/m/
Terrific theme! I'm sure we will see many cute photos! Happy
Hopefully I'll find time to take part.
OK, I'm finally gonna ask this dumb question, but, "0:00 HST"... do you mean midnight, 00:00, the beginning of July 24, or midnight, like 23:59, the end of July 24? Duh, but I'm never sure if I should take that "0:00" literally or whether I have an extra day XD blush

Renlee, if you're doing the re-sizing with software instead of on the page your photos are hosted with (Flickr? Photobucket?), when you re-size there should be an option to "maintain aspect ratio" which will keep the same proportions. Is that what you meant?, cos I didn't notice anything. Otherwise, like CB said, when you get the bulletin-board code to share the photo, there should be a menu offering different sizes.
Gah! Almost missed the deadline! Very hasty entry pic taken and submitted. Whew...
Shot mine today smile
I forgot! Oh well.
Is it too late? Here is mine: [Image: 35974455242_9a73920baf_o.jpg]weeb pals

Is 0:00 midnight last night, or midnight tonight? If it's late just ignore it.
