Just an fyi, there is no section for allergies. I included mine, but I'd hate to kill my secret pal, or um, be killed by a wool bomb :(
All done and posted on the side of my blog under my button...
lots of fun!
Shannon,
Good point - we tried to address allergies in the signups/matching process, but it probably can't hurt to mention it in your questionnaire as well!
To make the questionnaire available more easily, I made a button and linked the questions' post up to it - all placed in the sidebar... At least that way the questions are still easily found after the post ends up in the archives.
And I included all my allergies too. Just read one post that addded allergies as Question 32....
Thank you gals for working to hard to set this up for all of us! It's going to be lots of fun. I'm still working on trying to set up the button link and a separate page for the answers, but in the meantime they're out on my blog.
Thanks for all your hard work on setting this up!!
I think y'all are doing a wonderful job this time around :)
I'm done my questionairre!
Same here!~
ok someone want to help me make a button and link it to another page!!!!!
how do you make buttons?
COOL! Thanks so much for this! You hostesses rock my one day to maybe learn how to make socks!
I filled mine out, posted it, linkedit to my sidebar under SP7 and will try to keep my updates goign.
I also already got an e card from my pal and sent on to my pal.
I will be writing her a letter asap and cannto wait to read what she posts in her answers as well so I can get a move on making her boxes.
Thanks to the listmoms for the new questionnaire. A big improvement over the old. (Happily, it would seem that people with allergies are taking the initiative.)
Looking forward to getting my pal!
When is the latest date we will be assigned pals?
I made a button for the questionairre. Anyone who wants to use it is welcome to it. It's on my sidebar.
All pal matches should be out by this friday (the 13th). My group's matches have all been sent out, and I know the other hostesses are all working hard on getting theirs done. Being sick sure gives you a lot of down time to work on the computer!
OT - One of the times I was linking around I stumbled acrossed a blog that had a Noro sweater. It was done in blues and the top was diagnal looking and then straight from the breast down (empire waist?) I want to say it's a Rowan pattern... but no clue.
Has anyone come across this blog too? I have gone through my browser history but can't find it.
HELP! Has anyone seen my future sweater??
WOW! I'm glad I remembered to come and check this posting -- didn't know about the questionnaire until just this instant. I'll get working on it ... I'm very excited to be a part of SP7!
Hey Polly, did you mean the sweater I'm working on?
Hey Laura- That is EXACTLY the sweater I was looking for. THANKS!
My pal's matches have been sent out as well and I believe all/most of the hostesses were going to address the allergy question, either ya/na to allergies and what your allergies are if any. Hope everyone enjoys this round of SP7.
My questionnaire is also in the sidebar of my Blog along with my wishlist.
It is my first Secret Pal experience and I am very excited!
Thanks to all of you working so hard to make this thing happens!
Isabelle :))
POSTING THE QUESTIONAIRRE AS A SIDEBAR LINK:
If you want to post a link on your sidebar, merely post your questionnaire in your blog as a normal post, then get the permalink address for the entry, go back into your template and merely make a link with that post address, calling it **SP7 Questionnaire** or something you feel is appropriate.
You could alternately take your SP7 button, which you have in your sidebar and enclose the {img src} tag inside an {a href} tag. This will make your button a link to your questionnaire.
Again, alternately, if you'd like to keep your SP7 button linking the the SP7 homepage, perhaps you could put a text link in just below the button.
Im disappointed that I didn't get my blog up and running in time for the SP7, but will be keeping an eye out for SP8!
