...a little update...

I know I've been talking about the new "changes" that are to be coming in October, but haven't really given you much to go on! Well, we are getting closer and closer to the launch of all these new things and I wanted to give you all a brief update on what to look for.

First and foremost, my focus group is moving along very well. The group has contributed many good ideas and opinions on what will launch, different procedures that will be put in place and a fun new contest that I will run.

Which brings me to the sneak peek at one of the new changes. Effective the second week in October, the Essence Website will have a new front page, also known as a "splash page". You all, I'm sure, have seen these around before - it's the page that you have to click to enter a site. On that splash page, there will be useful links to the blog, the site and the client slideshows. Also on this page will be a featured picture. And, thus brings me to my contest...

Brief info:
The contest will be run once per month with a vote held one week before the next picture is set to debut. Voting will be held on my blog and is open to anyone that stops by. Only one vote per person, though. The images included in the poll will be selected by me and are open to any past sessions, not just the current month's sessions. The participants of the winning image of the contest will receive a gift that will be determined each month. We're gonna spice things up a bit and change them from time to time. I will post to my blog when the new contest has started and you will be able to start voting at that time. As I said, voting is open to anyone at all, so if you are included in the contest, be sure to tell your friends and family to stop by and vote!

Voting for the initial contest (and the first person to grace the splash page of Essence!) will begin shortly. I am in the midst of narrowing down my selected pictures for the contest and will give everyone an update when I am set to start!
