    Congrats, Finalists!

    I look forward to voting–once I can see more than just a blank screen. (I hope this is just me and my poor strained eyesight after three days of being chained to my monitor for WriteOnCon !)

  2. Theresa Milstein on Thursday 18, 2011

    It was fun to read the entries. Congratulations to the finalists.

  3. Colleen on Thursday 18, 2011

    The screen’s coming up blank for me, as well. I’m DYING to read all the entries. . .why are you teasing me like this?

  4. Lisa Roecker on Thursday 18, 2011

    Oh no! Everyone on our end can see the entries! What kind of browser are you guys on? Can you see them now?

  5. ColoradoKate on Thursday 18, 2011

    Yep, blank screen where the entry is supposed to be loading. The browser SAYS it’s loading/has loaded, but, sadly, no… Firefox, btw.
