    1. After you complete your first layout, please create a new thread in this forum and post your first completed page as your first post, labeling it with the MOC Day your layout corresponds to. The title of your thread should be “your username’s layouts” (for example – mrs2a50’s Layouts). Please use your username and not your given name. (You can see an example of the layout thread I started HERE. For each new layout I create, I will reply to my thread with a new post.)

    2. Each additional layout should be a new post in your thread, labeled with the MOC day. If you complete all 31 layouts, you should have 31 posts in your thread. Please do not create your posts ahead of time. Your pages do not have to be in order, so you should make a new post as you create each page.

    3. Please do not post comments in these layout threads. You may post comments in the challenge threads, but we need to keep the layout threads clean for tallying purposes.

    Thanks ladies! Let us know if you have any questions!

    Julie, this is my first time to do MOC. Will MOC replace the usual monthly challenges of Random, One Word, Scraplift, etc? I've been participating in all 7 of the monthly challenges for the last three months and wonder if January will be those 7 AND MOC? Thanks for your help.

    We suspended the monthly challenges for January to focus on MOC. We will bring them back in February!

    Oh, boy.... I named my thread incorrectly, but can't figure out how to correct it! I used my given name rather than my user name. I blame the Vicodin... ;-)

    UPDATE: I fixed it! Go advanced!

    So I'm completely new at all of this, and I was just wondering how I upload my layouts to the thread I create? When I try to upload an image, it asks for a URL. Am I missing something?

    Thanks!

    on the right hand side of your layout in the gallery you will see a blue box with 'share this image' as a title. Second one down is Linked Image, just copy the url and paste it in your thread. :)

    Just created my thread for my first layout, but I don't see my thread. Does it take awhile or have to be moderated first?

    You're moderated because you're new to the forums - you can speed up the process by commenting in the gallery and replying to threads to get your post count up! Start by replying to one of the newbie threads and introducing yourself! Welcome to TLP and MOC3!!

    You have to "Go Advanced" to see the paper clip.

    Have you tried a different browser? I'm not sure why it wouldn't be showing up. :thinking2

    You could upload to an open gallery like DST and then link to it here.

    As Lorry said, try a different browser. I use Chrome and have the paperclip.

    The first post is not counted, because the number is how many REPLIES, not how many posts. :) So yes, you will have 30 replies and 31 LOs at the end.
