WHAT IS A SIGGY CHALLENGE?
A siggy challenge is not exactly a "challenge" persay. You are not competing with anyone nor are you voting on anyone. What knotties mean by "siggy challenge" is, the board votes on a particular subject (WR or NWR) and all the girls who want to participate on that board post a picture of what pertains to that subject in their siggy.
For example, July 2011's first siggy challenge was voted "flowers you want in your wedding". This means, this particular siggy challenge was "WR" (wedding related) and each girl found a picture of a bouquet or just a single flower (whatever their preference) and put the picture of their choice in their siggy. (On how to post pictures in siggy, please read the HOW-TO post.) The girls on the 7/11 board tend to use http://www.picnik.com/ to create a more fun siggy, but for thoseof you brides who like to keep it simple, we've noticed http://www.photobucket.com/ is the easiest to upload pictures onto. Siggy challenges are really just a way for us to get to know one another better. We get to see each other's inspiration, ideas, and interests in every post they make. It's a fun, simple way to make the board more "alive".
