okay. i posted my made blocks long after i mailed them out and had started receiving pm's that they had been received. i wanted to make sure the blocks were not posted before the owner received them.
i know i am never planning to maintain a separate link for pics. i have enough of separate links now to maintain and do not want one more.

while there are some who did set up separate links, i know i don't want to try to maintain another link of pics. my own personal preference.

It was a discussion that came up on the Boom 5 East link in May.
That's why I commented it was "generally accepted" to not post the blocks you made...reason being was the person receiving the block should get to see their block "in person" before it was posted for everyone else to see. That person could decide whether to post it on the link or not when they posted they had received it.
Some of us wanted to share the pictures of our blocks so we created an ongoing personal link that we just added to as we made other blocks....this gave people the chance to "peek" at their block before it arrived. Also some people didn't have the means to post a picture so that helped them out a little too.
I think it's up to each group to decide what they'd like to do as far as posting the pictures. Once the groups are established (April will do this after all the sign ups are completed) and the links created for each group (April will create the links also with appropriate names), that might be an early "discussion" to have... all of this is just my humble opinion :lol:
