Dakka now promotes project logs on our home page in a special project log section. There are a few rules which need to be followed for your project log to qualify for homepage promotion, so if you want to have your project exposed to thousands more people then just do the following:
1. Update frequently - only recent updates by the original poster of a topic will count as a project being updated.
2. Use the dakka gallery for your image hosting. Attachments will also work but the gallery will give you much more control. If you only use photobucket or another third party image host, then we cant legally generate thumbnail images for the homepage and therefore your project log wont be promoted.
3. Post pictures! A little bit obvious, but we exclude any text only project logs as once again it would mean that we cant show a thumbnail image with the project log title.

I use the attachments button at the bottom of the page, does that insert my photos into the Gallery because I would love to be featured so more people can follow along and help in my recent endeavors!

Thanks!

So using picasa is a no-no?

thanks

How are the logs actually chosen? Is it views or exalts or random or what?

Please have a look at my post on P&M blogs , warhammer 40,00 dreadnought costume build and let me know if i can do this.

I am not sure if this info is elsewhere, but when I try to host an image from my gallery here into my P&M blog, it appears as a broken link. Can you point me in the right direction?

What if we have a lot of pics that are not gallery worthy, but still relevant to the project? (Terrain supplies, partially painted minis, etc...)

Must all the pics in the project log be in the gallery or can we get away with say a single pic of the completed build. In my case, that still means plenty of photos in the gallery, but would eliminate all the rest of the wip photos.

Only the gallery photo is shown on the homepage.

If the project OP posts a comment with a Photobucket image, does their Project log stop being promoted forever or is it just that one post that doesn't get promoted?

Also: do the 16 x 16 GIFs in my signature, hosted on PB, count as a PB image in my posts?

Would love too!

Is there an amnesty for older posts containing external links, before transitioning to Dakkas image gallery repo?
