How to Vote for Ruby

The voting process has been a little problematic and it's not very clear how to go about placing a vote once you get to the site, so I put together some instructions to make it easy for everyone.

Go to the ohdeedoh website. You'll see the contest post.

Scroll down a bit and you'll see the voting buttons in the form of a poll:

Click on the "Register" link.
If you voted before in the semifinals, you can skip this registration step.
(I wish you didn't have to register, but it's the only way they have to control the voting).

Choose a username. Enter your email address and choose a password.
The email signup boxes are unselected by default so you won't get any email solicitations.
Check the Terms & Policies box and click "Sign Up"
(If the registration box doesn't come up, you may need to disable your pop-up blocker).

A confirmation message will show up. You can close this window.

Check your email for a message like this:

Click on the first link in the email to verify your account.

Now go back to the ohdeedoh website.
Scroll past all the comments to the very bottom of the page to log in to your account.

Once you are logged in, go back up to the top section of the page with the voting buttons.

Pick Ruby's Room (if you like it), and click on "answer survey".
The button in this picture is greyed out because we've already voted.
Yours shouldn't be at this point. (If it is still greyed out after logging in, try using a different web browser, or a different computer. For some people (me included) this has been a problem if they voted in the first round. The site seems to think you've already voted in the finals.)
Thanks everyone! It's a tight race. Yours could be the swing vote!
