Hi again everyone!
First, congrats to JillKostow for winning the $50 Socially Savvy prize for week 4 of the contest, and congrats to SuperheroSales for winning the $100 Social Champion prize!
Now, we're in to the final round of voting- this is for the $500 Grand Prize, so your vote can make a big difference!
The candidates:
akirchner for Oregon Wildlife: American White Pelicans Of Prineville
WannaB Writer for Enemies of the People? Life in Communist Yugoslavia
Pamela99 for Guidelines for Homecare for the Elderly
SuperheroSales for A Day Has Passed. Itβs Time for a New Photo Craze! Ostriching!
Be sure to vote for your favorite Hub by going to our Facebook page and clicking on the Fan Faves tab. You can also just go directly to the voting if you like by clicking here.
Voting cannot be done by mobile phones. Also, I've enabled Assured Voting which makes it possible for multiple people from one household or business to vote in the contest, however that means those voting will have to agree to let the app take note of their name. The personal info used in Assured Voting is only used for this one event.
Good luck to the finalists, and thanks to all of you who were a part of this contest!
I wish the best of luck to each one of the finalist~ It is going to be difficult to pick a winner, as three of my favorite writers are among the finalist...
Congrats all and let's get this done~ Thanks, Simone for all the help.
P.S. Does this mean the voting starts today, Simone? I had it down as starting tomorrow at noon? I'm always a day late and a dollar short~
That's what I thought, too. I hope it still ends on Thursday.
Yes! I just opened it early in anticipation of all the problems people will be having with voting. I want to make sure everyone has a shot, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to do all the troubleshooting early
Thanks to all of you - and great job to everyone who made the final 14 each time~!!! Some of y'all were in there multiple times and that is awesome!
There's definitely a problem - a lot of people trying to vote for me can't - the votes aren't registering and the app isn't opening up - it sometimes goes to blank, sometimes goes to hubpages main page and they can't get the vote in.
Also - my husband and son can't vote from our home computer with their own accounts?
Help???
To be very clear, this is what people have to do in order to vote:
1. Sign in to their Facebook accounts
2. Go to Facebook.com/hubpages.com
3. Click on the Fan Faves tab
4. "Like" HubPages on Facebook if they haven't already
5. Click on the "view entries" button or "vote" tab
6. Click on one of the entries and click the vote button
Leaving a comment is optional. Only one vote can be cast per person. Because we have Assured Voting enabled, multiple people from one business or household (IP, basically) can vote, but they must consent to sharing their basic information with our app, so we can be sure that there are not multiple votes coming in from the same Facebook ID.
It is not possible to vote from a mobile device.
The app is fully functional- I have tested it multiple times and checked with our Offerpop representative to make sure everything is functioning properly.
Good luck to everyone!
I just got back from voting Simone, and everything went as smooth as silk. The hardest part was having to make a choice; all of the final hubs are crazy good!
It won't let me vote unless I accept OfferPop and after reading about what information they collect, I decided not to vote. In the past, I did not have to do this. Why now?
That's Assured Voting- it only uses that info for the purpose of this one voting activity, and you can always delete the app from your account as soon as you've voted.
The reason I've enabled that is if it is NOT enabled, multiple people from the same business or household (IP address, really), won't be able to vote.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
Okay folks - I'm down to the wire and don't think I'll make it - if you'd like to vote for me - here's my last Hail Mary play - please go to the link and vote. Thank you in advance for your support always! Audrey

I don't really Get what this is about but congratulate me on my very first hub page forum post.
WE HAVE A $500 GRAND PRIZE WINNER!! It's SuperheroSales, for her Hub on ostriching!!! She got a hefty total of 114 votes, giving her the lead in the final Fan Faves round of Share and Share a Like voting.
The Share and Share a Like contest was created with the theme of creating fun Hubs that your friends are likely to share with others, and this ostriching Hub is the epitome of that sort of article. Well done, SuperheroSales!
Congrats to all those who won in the contest, and thanks to all of you who entered! It was so much fun reading your entires.
Sad you missed this contest? Don't be. We have another contest that'll launch on the 21st of this month, a mere 10 days from now! You can learn more about it on our blog.
A huge congratulations to SuperheroSales! That was a great hub and much deserved.
Thank you so much, PrairiePrincess! I cannot believe that I won because I have looked up to all of the writers I was up against and thought that all of the articles in the contest were just amazing! I keep wanting to pinch myself! Thank you so much to everyone who participated in writing and voting in the contest! You all are amazing people!
It really was a fun hub! Congrats on your big-bucks win!
Thanks, K9, I sincerely appreciate that! I'm glad I didn't make a fool out of myself for nothing! LOL!
Congratulations to SuperheroSales and everyone else who managed to get thrown into the mix, It's been a fun contest and full of suspense and anticipation!
Thank you, Denise! The contest was extremely suspenseful because there were so many amazing articles- there was no way to predict how it was going to end up!
