But you are welcome in there at any time as long as you follow the guidelines. If you want to organize a gathering at other times, you can invite others to meet you with PMs or by mentioning it in the challenge thread.

A few words about our brand new Everyone’s A Winner Hall of Fame

Much thanks to Janet for all the work she put into writing the code for the Homepage and Profiles linked in. It looks great.

You click on each picture to access a person's information. The pictures are arranged alphabetically by screen name, with the challenge and chat room hosts listed first. The page is a work in progress. Please be patient and please help us to complete it.

1) Send us the information to fill in the "Duets" and “About” sections. Look at mine or Janet’s completed profile to get an idea of what we’re looking for. PM that info to EveryonesawinnerHOF.

2) Write a “More About…” section for another EAW member. If you notice, I wrote one for Janet and she wrote one for me. Write one of these for anyone you choose and PM that info to EveryonesawinnerHOF.

3) Most of the songs you see were taken from our HOF challenge a few weeks back. If you have empty spaces on your page please PM the song links (include song address AND song name) to EveryonesawinnerHOF.

Please send just two PM's with as much of the above information as you can. This will ensure cutting down on our work too. One for your "Duets" and "About you" section, and one more for the "More About..." as you might not have space in the one.

Finally, if you are an EAW regular and do not see a profile for yourself, please notify either Janet or me.

Thanks for the feedback folks. As I said, most of the credit goes to Janet and her coding skills. And her commitment to getting things done.

But, of course, the whole thing couldn't exist without the people that make the Everyone's A Winner Challenge what it is, a gathering of very talented and exceptionally good natured people. And those people are YOU!

Please help Janet and I to finish the page by sending in the information mentioned at the beginning of this thread AND please publicize the page. Tell people about it.

I shall miss the EAW Challenge over the summer...I know I'm not as regular a visitor as I want to be...but I always enjoy listening to the people here & everyone is so nice & friendly too :)))))))

So to see the summer out in an epic kind of way...here's one I've spent several days & a total of 5 1/2 hours working on. It'll be of more interest to the Brits...for reasons which will be obvious when you see it!!!

Ad Medley - Miles, Miles, Miles, Miles, Miles, Miles & Miles!!!!

Have a great summer break everyone...hope to see many of you around still :))))

OMGoshhhhhhhhhhhhhh, thank you Janet and Bruce! The new EAW Hall of Fame is fanfreakingtastic! When I think of all the time that went into this, I just marvel at what a wonderful family this is...what a warm and supportive haven we have here.

The HOF is a tool for me to get to know everyone by name and not just nics and our best songs, as we see them. I adore our surprise page!

Getting in line to Host/CoHost again....I truly enjoyed that. :o)

Happy summer everyone...singing 'In the Summertime'...ch ch ugh, ch ch ugh...hehe...I may not be the best singer in the world, but I have a sweet time trying.

Janet and Bruce: Another outstanding addition to the expanding EAW franchise. Keep this up and we'll have our own Cable Access channel... All Karaoke, All The Time! ;-)

Hmmm. Should we add Birthday without the year, to the profile? You probably discussed this given that Janet has already built a calendar, but it seems a natural addition.

Great work!

I can't believe something...I thought I was the most shy person on the face of the planet (well at least in the top ten), and yet somehow I can't keep myself out of the chatroom when it's open. I guess maybe that says something about me, but I'm not sure what. Oh well, I guess maybe what I'm saying is when you work out the sound issues - come join us in the chatroom friends, I haven't witnessed anyone getting bit in there yet. Hehehe. I love to see my friends there.

Hey gang.

I've posted a blank song on the HOF page, so, if you desire you can now flag the page.

Just go to this link and click the flag to do that. In the future, if we add any songs to the page you will see that in your favorites.

Well I was going to edit, but my time expired...

Edit: Okay, I just watched Janet's recording up top, and I guess I should say that if you do join us in chat just be careful not to fall asleep on camera, hehehe. Feels like slumber parties now, never sure what the others will do when you fall asleep - yikes, where are the toothpicks to prop my eyes open?

Wow! Hall of Fame is great! Thanks so much for all the work you put into that!

Haven't been around much and may not be for a few more days at least.
Taking some time for reflection but I'll be back.

The theme is great for folks like me
who don't mind singing live in chat and recording it cause I'm a ham.

I'm just thinking it would be great to add something to the theme
to include folks here
who can't get into chat
can't record in chat
or are too shy to do so
so they can post songs over the summer too.

I'm off to continue my break
and if I come up with an idea I'll pop back in.

Blessings to you all!

Namaste

~ Deb

Nite nite Deb and good morning folks! Yeah I got up today :D Have some work, work to get out the way.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful responses and updates to our new HOF :D

I am starting to notice a few missing folks now there is time to step back and see the wood from the trees. :-) We'll do our best to get you up there as soon as possible ...

Awww to the shy people and chat. You do know that's how I started off? It was Bruce who convinced me that going into the chatroom and singing wasn't a naughty thing to do heheh, yeah just over a year ago that was me :D I made a few mistakes, I make more these days, but it was possibly one of the biggest growing stages in my entire life. I found out people accepted me, and actually liked me. They didn't hold their ears when I sang... I only had my straw mic in those days too!

To anyone wanting to join but feels a little reserved please get in touch, we do talk you through every stage of the way, and would love to see you there. It makes this singing thing a whole new world believe me, and you can laugh and stay up all night. Well you lot probably don't but me being a Brit with silly hours has too. Woof swears I'm a vampire and well I think I agree :D Now gimme your blood Muwhahahahahaha... (gulp).

DISTRACTION NO 1

Okay, it's summer ... how about... an Impossible Quiz

There! That should rattle a few cages and waste a few hours Muhahahahahha.

Oh don't worry! I just synchronised all my old bookmarks from another computer - I'm revisiting them (evil grin!)

EDIT: I'd um, forgotten just how annoying this one was... you might want to turn the music off...

ohhh you won't last long heheh.
