Hi! I was just curious what the Twitter Hashtag would be for the project.. I’ve been using #365Project2012 – but I’m the only one! (At least I’ve been consistent!) Can you let me know if there’s another one we should be using? Thanks!

I am unable to upload my pictures to the 365 project or Picaboo website for the last 2 days. I was hopeful you could help me out.
Hey Chris. Please upload your images to our Facebook page. You can do that here: http://www.facebook.com/picaboo
I just joined The 365 Project. I didn’t know about it till yesterday. So I am starting posting pictures from today on. I don’ feel I couldn’t capture passed days as they are already gone. I hope it is ok to do it that way, I only missed 15 days with the hope i will be able to finish the year out.
Thanks for joining us, Karen. Don’t worry about missing days. We’re all in this together!
I am totally loving this project. Each week I’m summarizing the weeks favourites in a Picaboo Photobook. It’s been great inspiration and one I will keep up!
Thanks for the tips!!!
Thanks for joining us, Colleen. And keeping your favorites in a folder is a smart idea!
This should be called the 366 day challenge as you are starting it in a year with 366 days. Or are you not taking a picture on leap day.
You’re right, Kris. Thanks for the comment.
Having a lot of trouble since yesterday finding the 365 Project on my iPhone and IPad?? Can only find on Safari and this does not allow me to upload from my mobile devices where my pics are. Can only do this every day if it’s quick and easy. Dont have time to hunt around. Any ideas please? Thought it might have something to do with the” blackout”??
Hi! I’d like to post a photo I took this week on HUNGER. Should I just post it on your Facebook wall? Thanks!
Hey CaRhonda! Please post it on our Facebook wall. Here’s a link: http://www.facebook.com/picaboo
I can’t find a “week 4″. Have you posted one, or are we on our own?
Hey Barry! All Weekly Challenges are announced on Sundays. Stay tuned!
My 365 Event has disappeared from my facebook page. I was able to access it and post photos until a few days ago and then it disappeared. I can still access it through the blog by clicking on a link, but I always have to come back and figure out which links work and which don’t. How can I get the 365 event back on my facebook page?
Thanks for your help.

I want to take the weekly challenge. Also the photographs are awesome. Mostly the mom with her kid and the thin Multistoried building are more beautiful.
