To launch the new site I want to know who you are and for you to ‘meet’ each other. please introduce yourself
This is a very open challenge - please interpret how you like.
Post your image - a standard portrait or maybe a mirror image or maybe a self documentary series and describe yourself a little - you could try answering some of these questions about yourself:
how do you spend your weekdays?
who lives in your house?
favourite pastime and worst job
why are you doing self portraits?
please read the participation instructions - let me know if you have any problems.
1. you must be logged in to this site to upload a link.
2. you must wait till may 1 to upload the link.
3. only upload 1 link each week.
4. click on the ‘upload your link’ in the left sidebar. this will open a popup window where you should be able to paste in your link. if for some reason you cannot see the link it could be you are not signed in.
I am very happy to announce the launch date of the new self portrait challenge website.
Monday 1 May.
On this date a few things will happen
1. the bloglines will be deleted - and the new link uploader will come into action - this means that everyone will have to upload their self portrait, each week they participate, to the new website.
More on how to do that in a minute.
2. the blogspot archives will be transferred to the new website - most of them are already transferred but the latest ones will be there too - and no more updates will occur here.
3. the new site will be the primary site and this one will no longer be available.
What?
The site will work as before - a monthly theme will be posted which will run for each week in the month.
The week will go tuesday to tuesday as before, you will be able to upload you link on any day in the week - you are not limited to tuesdays.
You will need to upload your link - this is the permalink link to your Self portrait post not the link to your main blog page.
More instructions about uploading links are on the new site - but basically each week you post as normal on your blog and then submit the link to the site - its quick and easy.
As before the authors on the site will continue to feature a few self portraits each week - and as we expand the site we will add new features and more ways to participate.
So for now you might want to grab the new badge and change your links on your site.

Hi - you might remember that I have postponed new join ups for a while - well I am happy to announce that I will be announcing the new website in the coming week
I also mentioned an automated system. To do this I have switched from a blogspot blog to wordpress and have had a plugin written to enable self portrait participants to upload their own link each week they participate. This means no more blogroll I am afraid.
I will be announcing the new site in the next week and will let you know a launch date and have buttons and badges to download to update your link to the new site.
