I'm still figuring this all out, but can you post pictures in your mblog? The article I want to submit made use of two pictures, though if you can't post them, I'll just modify it accordingly.
» How to include multimedia Yes. In mblog edit mode, you can select which pictures you want in your mblog and which order they should appear. Just scroll down the page and you'll see all of your multimedia files, including pictures, audio or video that you have uploaded.
also i was wondering when we'll find out who makes it from prelim 1; if it'll be immediately after or if you guys will announce that after both prelims are over?
» editing i don't like that editing of posted blogs is allowed. writers shouldn't be able to edit their posts after reading criticisms from the comments.
Actually, I kind of agree with this. Your submission should be your submission, and I don't think you should be allowed to edit it. You should be (and are) allowed to post another entry, though, and you can use that entry to correct your mistakes and improve the product.

If someone does edit, then people who have previously scored may not necessarily change their scores to reflect the changes, so it shouldn't really matter. Someone that edits shows that they can make use of criticism and comments to fix up their piece, instead of disregarding comments completely.
But of course I'm going to say that because a few people pointed out some minor problems in mine which I fixed up. :)

yours was fine to begin with and will probly make the prelim cut regardless. my beef is how much it helps the people not as talented as you; it can really close the gap between the gifted writers and not-so-gifted ones so that it's harder to distinguish at the top. and this early in the prelim, that could still help raise their averages a lot.
same here. but as i said, it's showing the (first?) ten blogs, but says there are more. if i can't figure out how to view my entry from here, how is anyone else supposed to?
