This week’s topic is Wheels. Wheels are found everywhere. Vehicles are the most obvious, but think about spinning wheels, water wheels, steering wheels, toy wheels, ferries wheels, bike wheels, sternwheeler boats, tracing wheels for sewing, etc. So have fun with this topic and I look forward to seeing what all you bloggers come up with. Use your imagination and creativity with this topic. I hope you have a lot of fun with the topic.
For a list of upcoming topics, please see the list at below. Be creative and challenge yourself. Look for contrast or highly textured subjects to shoot.
Thank you everyone for your overwhelming enthusiasm for the challenge last week. I’m proud to announce our featured bloggers from the Things Found in a Kitchen. Please check out their posts, they are worthy of a second look. ENJOY!

The train engine is my fav this week! It is too cold to go out except for work so I had to search my house for some wheels. I have a small collection of game pieces – so here you go!!

The bike is cool. But the John Deere with the hand is way cool! I’ve entered this week and it just took me half an hour and upteen tries to figure out how to do a pingback. Am I supposed to do that?

You can do a pingback or put the link in your comment or both. It’s all good.

Ha! Thanks. But do they do the exact same thing? And sometimes, I see in someone’s comment page that someone else has put their “pingback.” Does it go to comments automatically, or what?
LikeLike
Both of them bring anyone who clicks on them back to your post. Here’s what I do to leave a pingback. Click on the title of the blog in which you want to leave your pingback, so that only the post you want to ink to comes up. Then highlight the URL that appears in the white bar above the blog. Use Ctrl C to copy it. Then in your post, the one you want to link,go to “Edit” and highlight a word or words (you might use “oddball” for this challenge.) Click on the little doohickey in the top row that, when you hover the cursor over it, will say, “Insert/edit link.” That will bring up a box. Put the other person’s blog URL in the top row and use Ctrl V to put in the saved URL. Assign a title to the second, such as “Cee’s Oddball Challenge 3/1/15.” Save it and then save your post. If the other person has pingbacks enabled, yours will show up there after it’s approved or right away if it’s set up that way. I hope that makes sense.

Okay, I got all that. Very well-written instructions, by the way!! But now you’ve brought up another issue that scares me. I have never “saved” a post. Will it automatically be saved if published, or do I have to go back and “save” them all? Sorry for being a doofus…

Publish is save.

Excited to be joining in for the first time this week. Looking forward to visiting everyone else. I love the hand raised behind the ginormous tractor wheel. That made me smile! 🙂 And the train photo has a very vintage feel to it. Here’s a link to my odd-ball entry. http://offshoots12.com/2015/02/26/cartwheels/

Thanks so much for the honor of being a featured blogger from last week’s entries, Cee! I have something in mind for this week, but I didn’t get a chance to shoot it yet. Hopefully later today. You’ve got a great selection of wheels, and I like the way the design element of the slats in the bike helmet go with the spokes in the bike wheel.
