i wanted to sign up this year and tried to, but i kept getting an error message saying my post had to have at least 10 characters. i tried for like 30 minutes the other day. i was putting my name at the end of the list with the next number in front of it, putting my state after my name and moving the [/quote] behind everything i typed. and it wasn't working. what do i need to do next year to get in the contest? i'm a little bummed.
