September '12 Countdown

aka Cocktails and Chocolate...
and what more perfect month to chow down on some choice chocolate with Halloween looming!

I missed the 15th - this month is really zooming past. Happy Fall Y'all to those of us in North America. Happy other seasons to anyone who's is different. I'm seeing all these gorgeous fall foliage pics from friends in the Northeast and Midwest. It's still in the 80s here in Texas. I'm looking forward to some fall colors on a family trip soon.

Helpful hints for attaching photos into Forum Threads:
1) Sign into BP completely (name + password.)
2) If you have NOT YET entered the Contest today, you can use the "Photo ID" to pull an existing image from your Member Center into your reply to this thread (avoiding a duplicate image upload.) Get the Photo ID# from your Member Center, come to back this thread, click Respond, enter the text of your reply, then choose "1" from the images-to-attach drop-down. Click Submit; at the next screen populate the "Photo ID" box at the right. Skip the other fields on that screen.
3) If you HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest today before replying to this thread, you can't use the Photo ID method today. You can either wait until tomorrow to reply here (before your new Contest entry!) or, upload a new copy of the particular image (from your PC) into this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.
4) If you're uploading a duplicate, maybe title it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later... This can help direct viewers to find the original image in your gallery, when they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, try to tell if it is a duplicate upload. As a courtesy, try to find the original image in the member's gallery and leave your comment there instead of on the duplicate---that way, if the duplicate is deleted later, the comment history isn't lost.

Good luck everyone!!!

I managed to rearrange my images this month so that all my entries from September are together - starting with "Illumination" and ending with "Pretty and Pink". I have not had much luck picking within our thread lately...but I'll go out on a limb and try...
