OT: A Favor Involving Voting

jrazz wrote on 1/17/2009, 8:26 AM

I have a good friend of mine who has entered his child's picture into a photo contest (The Cutest Tax Deduction by TurboTax). It has made it to the finals and voting is underway.

The child's name is Noah and he underwent some tough times right after birth (he had a hole in his lung and had to have tubes put in) but has since come out of it and is doing very well.

If you want to read more on Noah, you can do so here.

If you want to go straight to where you can vote, you can do that here.

I would appreciate your help in this as it will help fund his college education if he wins. Thanks guys.

I don't usually bump things and I don't think I have ever bumped anything off topic- but I wanted to make sure this wasn't missed over the weekend.

Your vote would be greatly appreciated!

I voted for Noah. It's really easy to vote for a cute baby.

I voted for both the cuteness and the story, as did my staff.

In IE for the cuteness, and in FF for the story :O).

AH! the link is wrong - at least i get the vote button if i click on the banner and refresh screen. either way, noah's got another vote!

Yeah, come to think of it I had trouble with the original link -- no "vote" buttons anywhere -- very puzzling. I stripped off the end of the url and went to the main link and poked around an then voila -- discovered "Vote for me" buttons at the bottom of the page.

Sorry about that- I provided the link after I voted, hence the problem. I corrected it in the original link above. Thanks for pointing that out as I would not have known.

I have an update on the vote:

"We just got word that Noah won the contest! Thanks to everyone for your votes and for your help. We appreciate it so much."

Thanks again guys for voting. I know that Tim appreciates it and I am thankful you all were willing to take your time to vote for this.
