I've now voted!

Does anyone else do it by splitting their screen in two, like I do?  I find it much easier to choose from the fab photos this way!

[Peter Mugridge]

Errr... no... I scroll all the way down to the last photo, then work my way up and then down them again frequently tearing what little remains of my hair out as I try to whittle it down to three choices when what I really want to do is vote for every single one of them each month...
