Important:

Please remember that the results of this contest mean NOTHING. All the Kids are cute and all the results here will mean is that a parent managed to take an interesting picture of their child but it does not mean any child is cuter than another child

You must have missed the part about setting your picture album to public

Yes, I had it "Private" instead of "Public" - It should be ok now.
