Hi Lizzi, well thank you for chosing my pic. I only realized when I went into that pic. I am not real familiar with the challenges as far as length of time, who votes, etc..But I wil give it a whirl if you let me know what to do. I thought of a topic but not sure if it's appropiate for a challenge or if it's been used before. I was thinking Worldwide Landmarks. Also, I'm not sure how to post the pics here. But I do want to thank everyone that has done it for me.

I think your idea "worldwide landmarks", is a good one. If you know how to copy and paste, it's a lot easier to move a picture. I was typing the whole long address in each time, but it's too easy to make a mistake, and it's a pain. So I googled it. I LOVE google. I hope these instructions will be useful to other newcomers.
(1.)Click (hereafter will be K) on the pic you want to move, to bring its ID into the address bar at the very top of your screen. (Every pic has an ID number.) It will highlight. (2.) Right K on the address. A menu will appear. Rt K on Copy. (3.)Go to Forum, find the topic you want, (4.) K on Add Message. Type in the title, and whatever you want to say, then(5) Rt K ,and on the menu, Rt K on Paste. (6) K on Post Your Message.
If you have a problem, please feel free to ask me.

Thanks guys. So now do I just type the topic here and give it a week duration? Also, how does the voting process go down?

Trying to see whether I could follow Lizzi's instructions! Old tool pic.

Hooray! That sure beats typing. However, I opened TD twice so I could see what I was doing. Is that necessary?

mecanc, you have to start a new topic.
If you click on "community" (link on this page just upon the messages and below the title "think draw forums!), then click on "start new topic" below - at the very end of the page.
there you can write the title and a comment.

Your challenge will be 76 (LXXVI).

I want to say also that the topic "landmark" is a good one, but has already done in an old challenge...

may be you could find good ideas also in the "showcase suggestions" topic.

mecanc, you decide on the time frame, a week, 10 days, 2 weeks - whatever fits your schedule. And you alone decide on a winner based on who best satisfied your challenge.

I was away for awhile this aft, but I see others have chipped in with helpful comments. Mecanc, if you go to that same pic (of the boy), you will see a little more info on how to get started. Don't worry, I had never started a challenge before, either, and I survived it. Once you choose a topic, set a time limit, and then there is not much to do but wait. Most members will enter their own pics, I will be on the lookout for people who might need help moving theirs. Maybe referring them to the instructions above will help.
