This week’s Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge (CB&W) topic is Fences and Gates. Fences and Gates can be as simple as a barbed wire fence to a fence that acts like a fortress around a building. Have a lot of fun with this topic. Sepia tones and selective color are always allowed in this challenge. I just want you to have some fun with your photography.
Announcement: Since WordPress pingbacks are not working properly right now, I would recommend you add a comment with your post link to your challenge entry so you will considered for features.
For a list of upcoming topics, please see the list at below. Be creative and challenge yourself. For a great black and white photo look for contrast or highly textured subjects to photograph.

I can’t make up my mind which one I like bests. Maybe the last one with all the signs on it, but I like each one for a different reason.
On an entirely different subject, have you asked for WordPress for support on your pingback issue? Because it isn’t universal and you probably will need their help. I had to ask for assistance. Fortunately, they were good about it and it only took a few days. AngloSwiss also had to ask for help (and got it). I know from personal experience, this won’t go away by itself. Once they fix it, though, it seems to stay fixed.

How do I ask for help?

I found it. I’ve been on line with them. And they will now get back to me.

It may take them a few days. It took them about 4 days to fix my problem, a little longer to fix AngloSwiss’s identical problem. I think it’s individual by template and those of us with bigger (older) sites seem to be harder to fix. But they WILL fix it.
Anyway, here’s my entry for this week:

Don’t be surprised if something else also stops working too, like the reblog function or “press it” or something like that. It’s all part of the ever-changing software that interacts unpredictably with various functions on individual themes. Hang on in there … I’m pretty sure help is on the way!!
