Creative Requirement: Make an image/video inspired by a song with a color in the title; or by a musician/s or band with color in their name. Song title or lyrics in the image is optional. Songs can be by anyone including yourself, songs can also be written by you or a friend. Songs can be generated in an AI song. B. Song Link: Put the song link in your image description so people can hear the song. If it’s you playing a cover, that’s fine too. It does not have to be the original person who made the song a hit (if it was a hit). Video or sound song link is ok. Sharing the song will make for a cooler shared experience. C. Comment Format: Post the link to the song with the title and the musician’s name (if known) in the comments below. With each day, I’ll add people in this blog text under the day. So link format should be: “Day: Song title by Musician/Band” your post link D. Challenge Community Spirit : Kindly be supportive of each other. Kindly visit one or more of your coplayers each day and leave a comment. E. Flexible Posting: Posting an image link a day earlier or later is ok. Given that people have different times zones, early or late links posted in the comments below are ok. F. Challenge blog post link: https://budgetpixel.com/blog/song-color-challenge Next Week Teaser: Drinking songs: If this works well, I will do another song challenge next week. Next week we will do drinking songs! As suggested by mim88 . If you want, feel free to suggest other themes for the weeks after with the hope that this succeeds. Keep comment suggestions (suggestions for improvements are good too) separate from link comments so it’s easy for others to click on your link. Note: I am trying the challenge experiment as a blog this time because feed posts roll down pretty quickly. Plus feed posts are more limited in characters. I am hoping with a blog post, it is easier for people to find the challenge and add their post links. @DavidP @paulie @Hiths @Elkanthe @Hephzibah @Sealine @dirty_biker @mim86 All of you participated in my previous challenge experiment with days of the week so this is my invite to participate in my new challenge experiment. I’ve tried to make it easier than the last challenge by making a challenge banner before hand and setting one blog post as the place to enter links. The image is presized to 16x9 on blog posts so I’m hoping it’s not too big. If it is too big, I’ll add a slice of black on the bottom and top to make it appear narrower on your MyPage feeds. Crossing my fingers this goes well. Let me know if you have any ideas for suggestions or improvements in the comments below. Note: The image looked too big on my page so I've added dark grey slices to the top and bottom to make it not so big. Note: I also notified previous participants on their last entered song. One person said they were not notified by the blog post or the blog post comments.
