For all you readers, keep reading!

PICTURE PERFECT CONTEST SUBMISSION:

1. Log into Google- I have tried this out many times before putting up this post, but unfortunately it is necessary for you to log in to submit. However, I have also tried submitting a comment in many different ways to this contest, all of which if done right, you don't need to submit with your Google Profile. Rather, with a username and URL or an Anonymous submission! Keep reading to see how.

This picture was taken on my desktop signing into google.

2. Go to thebookishelephant.blogspot.com- This one is probably a no-brainer, but you kind of have to visit the website to actually submit. Type thebookishelephant.blogspot.com into your browser after you have signed in, or sign in using a different tab and reload this page.

3. Find The P.P Contests Page Tab- Direct your eyes to the right hand side of the website, and you will see the words P.P Contests. To continue, please click.

4. Read The Instructions (If You Aren't Familiar With Them)- I recommend reading the full page to get an idea of what you are supposed to submit and the guidelines.

5, Click on the most recent picture perfect post- When I took this photo that was Picture Perfect Post #1, however please choose the most recent. 

6. Scroll Down To Comments- Fairly easy to find, says enter your comment...

7. Click It And Click The Arrow Next To Comment As ... (Your Google Profile)- There is a little arrow that let's you choose your preferences. To see what I mean, keep reading.

8. Choose Your Preference- If you'd like to comment with your Google Profile, just keep typing! If you'd like to comment with a username (optional URL), click this option. A tiny box will appear. Fill out your name (but leave the URL box blank if you don't want to put a URL of yours). If you like to comment as Anonymous, click Anonymous.

9. Check Notify Me- This is important because it notifies you when your comment gets published. (I don't want my comment published)

10. Write Your Comment- To submit your photo, give a link of your photo. This link can be pasted or inside any of the following platforms: Google Docs (inserting in a document then sharing with me using the share by link button), Google Drive (Inserting in your drive then sharing with me using the share by link button), and Google Drawings (Inserting in a drawing then sharing with me using the share by link button). Google Photos is also permitted. Any others must be asked about before posting in the comments. (Contact me with questions at the bottom of this page) It can be in any form, but it must be your own photo. Then, add a caption (What should I write as a caption?)

11. Hit Publish- You'll be notified as to when it gets published!

Thanks for submitting, and good luck! If you have any questions, contact me at the bottom of this page.
