As my special birfday treat this year, here is my prezzie to all you vote whores.
Use this thread to post a page of your May only votes from any one year and I will give them all the once-over.
Maybe some kind someone will remind us how to construct such a page. TIA

Like a rolling kidney-stone.

May 2010 seems to be popular.
As for the formula, let's have a look at what I used:
http://www.fwfr.com/display.asp?start=1366&id=12433&Mode=reviewer&Sort=4&Rows=118&Dir=1&do=
id=12433 means the reviews are clay's, i.e. mine.
start=1366 means the starting place of the first one meeting the criterion.
Rows=118 means that's how many consecutive reviews meet the criterion.
The rest amounts to chronological order, starting with most recent.
So what I did was go to "My Reviews" and set it to Chronological Order and then go to the first page with May 2010 reviews, which was the 14th page and started with review #1301. The page also had June reviews, so I counted them and changed the Start from 1301 to 1366. Had more than a page of May, so by trial and error I changed 100 to 118.
Clear as mud, right? |

Nicely done Clay. One more word of advice, though - if you make the link work in reverse chronological order rather than chronological order it will tend to stay correct for longer (your link will only work until you have a new review published, at which point "start=" will be wrong by 1. Using reverse chronological the review will remain correct until you delete an older review, which presumably happens less often)  |

Thanks for the chance to play, BB. May is a big month for me since today is our wedding anniversary and yesterday was my daughter's birthday. We also just got back from Indianapolis and my father-in-law's 99th birthday celebration.
May, 2004. |

Thank you one and all for the kind birthday wishes and for letting me see such a lovely parcel of your pages. I've passed out cake and goody bags to all those I hadn't seen before. I won't single anyone out, but there's some great stuff out there!!
Now, someone help me blow out all these candles - it's too much for an old woman, I tell ya! Too much! WHoooof!

Happy BirthMay, BB!
Here are my 31 reviews from May 2009, which is neatly the same as the number of days in the month.
