About Holiday Kitties ~ Comment to Your Right, Please

All about kitties during all the holidays. All kitty pictures must have a theme for the holidays that are closest. You can check the "Now Celebrating" thread to see which holidays are currently going on around the world. And if your holiday isn't there, please let me know - you can all email me any time!

I also enjoy the groups where everyone comments to the photo to the right, and that's easy enough to remember, so that's about our only other rule.

I've set the upload limit to 3 per member per day - just comment on the picture to the right of your posts. For example, if you uploaded 3, don't comment to YOUR pictures to your right... go on down the line and comment on the next member's pics - hope that makes sense!

I have a recommended tagging system that, if you use, your pictures for each holiday will show up by clicking on any of the holidays on our list below. That way, we'll have galleries of each holiday!

We'll work it all out as we go along! I am always open to suggestions and look forward to hearing from you!

If you'd like to use an automatic code to say "Seen in Holiday Kitties ~ Comment to Your Right, Please," try out this gadget -

(Sorry, can't get this link to work - will try something else and see if I can fix it LOL)

You go to the site, drag the link into your favorites, and then after you comment on someone's picture, if you click that link in your favorites, it automatically puts the cool code into your comment.

I'll add a copy and paste code here as soon as I figure out how to do that without just creating a link :-)
