An open challenge to everyone I know who has a camera and a website. For the rest of the month, post at least one image a day!
I know there's at least four of you reading this that have easy access to cameras... Alan, Dan, Andrew, and Chrissie... Let's see how many of you can do it!
Update: For those of you who don't have easy access to a camera, but have a scanner -- post an image from your old albums. Start as a kid and tell us a tale of growing up, or describe something from your past.

Trackbacks...
I accept! Can't promise I'll be able to, but I'll try. I think that Silverstr has a digicam as well, so I'll include him in this for you :)
-- Posted by >> Arcterex » Wednesday, July 9, 2003 08:31 AMMy contribution is up. You should probably set up trackback so that people can just ping you and get a list that way IMHO.
-- Posted by >> Arcterex » Wednesday, July 9, 2003 09:45 AMInstalled trackbacks awhile ago.... you have to configure your MT bookmarklet to include them on your side. :)
-- Posted by >> Darren » Wednesday, July 9, 2003 09:49 AMI don't see a list of trackbacks here, or a url to ping... and I generally blog via the web interface more than the bookmarklet :) Trying a ping now to see what shows up.
-- Posted by >> Arcterex » Wednesday, July 9, 2003 10:00 AMMT says that http://WWW.staticred.net/mt/mt-tb.cgi/614 has been pinged successfully twice. I think you need to configure display of trackbacks. IIRC there is a comments+trackback plugin somewhere that puts both together in the same format.
-- Posted by >> Arcterex » Wednesday, July 9, 2003 10:03 AMHmm.... ok, either I'm blind or you just added it. Either is a distinct possibility :)
Feel free to delete this and the above couple of comments *d'oh*
-- Posted by >> Arcterex » Wednesday, July 9, 2003 10:04 AMI'm in. Since I have no freaking clue how to trackback anything maybe you could make a special link, you know, just for me. :)
-- Posted by >> Chrissie » Wednesday, July 9, 2003 10:46 AMChrissie: if you're using MT you can use the bookmarklet and just use it to make an entry for this page. It should automagically detect the right trackback to ping and display it at the top of the bookmarket page with a checkbox to ping something like staticred.net/mt/mt-tb.cgi/[number]
If you're like me and prefer to go from the main "new entry" page you can use the above method to get the TB url and then put that in the "URLS to ping" box at the bottom.
Darren can redo the template to put the TB url visible though, if he was nice!
Or even simpler you can just put a link in the comments :)
-- Posted by >> Arcterex » Wednesday, July 9, 2003 01:04 PMI'll give it a go. :)
... I'm going to have to screw around with trackback, though. I'll play with that when I've actually posted the pic. Which will be sometime after I've TAKEN it. ;)
-- Posted by >> Julie » Wednesday, July 9, 2003 01:24 PMtried the ping thing (thanks for the instructions, Arc) and got a HTTP error: 405 Method Not Allowed. is this error generated on my side or yours, Darren?
-- Posted by >> Chrissie » Wednesday, July 9, 2003 09:03 PMThat'd be on my side, but I'm not sure why...
