Use what suits you best Kathy. I starting with the practice log a few days ago, but I'm not sure if I'll remember to fill it in every day... we'll see.

Hello, I noted in the 2010 MOYD's list someone else has the same nick as mine (iamtan). That shouldn't be a problem for the 2011 MOYD right?

What you see above is the start of this year's new list starting tomorrow morning.

There can't be two users with the same name on the forums - what you are seeing is your registration for this coming year, not for the year we're finishing.

I hope that makes sense?
If not, then I don't understand, so kindly send me a pm and we'll sort it out without fillig up this thread ok ?
cheers

Thanks, Cheryl!
Kathy

Cheryl, how do I paste the MYOD 2010 into my sig. later tonight? Thanks.

Go to Edit Profile and the link to the appropriate image to your signature, then encase it in the [img] tags. If you do a quote and reply to this message, you'll see the exact code in the quoted section :

Thanks FormerFF!! 'Tis done. (You'd think I could figure these things out by now!)

I'm in. And this time ill make it all 365 days no excuses.

One more day and the gloves are comin' off!

Also, I have a question. The online log isn't letting me do anything; it says my name is not on the list. Is it supposed to belike this until the challenge starts or something?

Thanks FormerFF,
I was able to do it too without having to ask my programmer hubby! :D

Can I join?

That is a separate program you need to register for that separately.

I'm in! This is wonderful!

From one year to the next, though, I cannot remember how to access the signature- let alone add my years (08,09,10)! Can someone message me the link the the signature with a repeat of the directions? I am so sorry to request this (I'm sure I had to ask last year- but this is one of those threads I don't log on to unless I miss practicing...)

thanks so much!

I've put instructions for getting the images into your signature on the first page.

It is basically, select image, right click, copy the URL from properties, go to profile, click in your signature box, click on add an image, paste the URl, save

Likewise I've added a little explanation that the practice log requires a new registration.

@ Mark.. glad you've joined us, and I see in the 2010 thread you said you're available for backup - that's great, thanks very much!

I want in. It's the 1st of Jan here in Australia but i've done my bit for today!

Early evening for you, midday for me, and the bulk of our co-forumists are still asleep in North America

Please sign mea up for 2011.

Undone

Still a bit sleepy-eyed here.
2010 I concentrated on note recognition, 2011 I will focus on theory.

For me it going to be "Year of the Metronome"

I'm in.

I'm a low-intermediate level player returning after 15 years with limited access to a piano. We just moved in a piano and I've been diligent with my practice over the last month. I feel like now's the time to buckle down. I'm working on a wide-range of pieces... solo arrangments for church, as well as honing on my skills using Czerny and Bach... Also relearning all my scales, chords, etc. with the aid of The Complete Book of Scales, Chords, Arpeggios and Cadences and trying to focus on the skills/talent I maintained over the last 15 years /vs/ the skills I've lost.

Cheryl
Do we have to use the log? Or is my excel spreadsheet sufficient?

Cheryl
I found my roll up keyboard. It does have earphone capability. It rolls out 49 keys and stores in a bag about 6"by10"by 3". Works on batteries or plug.

okay I just went and tried to log my practice, but it won't let me put in a year beyond 2010. Should I just log it as 1/1/10?

We have to get hold of Mark (not me) and he needs to fix the log,

I sent a pm to markjpcs, but he hasn't logged on in quite a while. Anyone know how we can contact him?

edit: I got an email out to him also.

The log is totally optional. I only started using it a few days ago. You do whatever you like.

Last year I didn't even record how much I played every day, just made sure I did it!

Very neat........ a nice idea for when you really are away from the piano and can't carry a dp around with you!

I have no idea.... except we could try using the email address that shows up when you click on the "donate" button.

I'm beyond sleepy right now but will try writing to him tomorrow.

YEAH! I am finally getting a chance to participate. I hope everyone has a great playing year!
Looking forward to getting back to the forums as well.
Happy 2011 everyone.

*goes to her piano to start the playing year off right!*

Count me in on joining the MOYD list. It's great to have the extra motivation to practice.
