I posted a project but it doesn't show up under the "Entries" section. Does this mean it's not entered?

Sep 21, 2011. 10:09 AM

zazenergy (author) says:

You need to post a link to your project in the comments....

Sep 21, 2011. 11:31 AM

sherrycayheyhey says:

I already did on 9/16 but here it is again: http://www.instructables.com/id/Cobra-Weave-Exploding-Stick-Bomb/ .

Could it be because I just pasted the link in the comments instead of truly linking it?

sherrycayheyhey says:

It's past the contest deadline and it still doesn't show up in the entries section. Does that mean my project isn't a contender? :(

Hey Sherry,

I made sure to get all of yesterday's entries in this morning! Thank you so much for participating!

annahowardshaw says:

I knew there was no way I could beat the awesome clock, but could my project also be listed with the other entries?

My Swiss Knife doesn't show up...

Congratulations! Creasemaker!

Thanks I had funwith this one.

Colorex,

Thank you for all your entries! I 100% did see this project before posting the winner. As Kiteman mentioned on your project, this really needed to be a step by step. I've put in up with the others in the challenge after the fact, but please remember, we are looking for quality of Instructable over quantity.

colorex says:

Awwww :(
I guess I'll wait for the next popsicle stick challenge to release Popsicle Stick Swiss Army Knife 2.0...

And I'll keep your advice in mind! :)

Check out my entry!

Kiteman says:

I saw that - you've certainly used more popsicle sticks than the rest of us.

Sep 20, 2011. 11:07 AM

colorex says:

HAHAHA That's for sure! Bout 60!

Icosahedron = 20 sides
each side has 3 sticks
20 x 3 = 60
plus all the ones I sorted out...

Kiteman says:

Now you need to get more folk to enter (and quickly), to bump up the prize value...

Sep 20, 2011. 11:46 AM

colorex says:

The prize table says ENTRIES, not folks. I'm taking care of that. I have TWO more Instructables going on!

Anyway, IF I win, I'll only get the membership... Cuz I live in Ecuador, SA. I would love a t-shirt, but, what can we do about it?

SO, I have this friend in the States, I could have it shipped to him, right?

Sep 22, 2011. 12:24 AM

Kiteman says:

Yes. If you win, and they ask for your address, give them your US friend's address. Your friend will then benefit from your success.

Sep 22, 2011. 4:33 AM

colorex says:

Or he'll bring it to me when he comes back :)

By the way Kiteman (awesome name) look at my profile!
