			<title>Mobile and Coding Improvements</title>
			<link>https://agardenersforum.com/blog/view/15/mobile-and-coding-improvements.html</link>
			<description>
			<![CDATA[
				We've just rolled out a large amount of coding updates and are currently in the process of testing several large mobile usability improvements.  Most of the new mobile page updates should improve reading pages and looking at content on smaller screens under 800px.  Several of the coding adjustments also allowed for larger image thumbnails for mobile users, which should make browsing content a lot easier.  A large focus was to the Gallery, Slideshow, and Video systems, however anywhere that you see two or more columns on the desktop should degrade into a single column layout for mobile.The Facebook Gallery is currently offline until we get ourselves reprocessed to their API authentication scheme.

I'm happy to say that we just finished adding over 80 new terms to our Terminology listing, as well as we've added over 20 items to our new set of pages in the Wiki system.In the coming months you can expect to see more work on our Hardiness Zones and more terms and Wiki entries with more more pictures coming.For our users outside of the United States, what areas would you like to see covered on the Hardiness Zone system

				I'm happy to say that I've just put the finishing touches on the Gallery system it'll now properly list items by their pages, and the newer design makes it a lot easier to navigate.Due to some Facebook updates over the last couple of months, several portions of the original layout just didn't work anymore such as only being able to view page 1 of each album.

			<title>Hardiness Index Overhaul</title>
			<link>https://agardenersforum.com/blog/view/10/hardiness-index-overhaul.html</link>
			<description>
			<![CDATA[
				This week we have overhauled the Hardiness Zones feature of our site to support International Zones, we also have a cleaner display for the various North American zones that we've listed in the past.We have also added some data for Baltic States, Scandinavia, and some parts of Europe more to come.  As you'll note, each map covers several countries, so we provided information for those maps much like we've presented information for North America such as dialing codes, basic information about each country, and even information on what side of the road people drive in each country.  We'll also be adding some basic data for Canada and Canadian Providences.In the coming months we'll be adding more and more data to the database, to offer a service for international users who visit the site.Don't see your country listed  Feel free to comment and we'll look into it!

			<title>Forum Upgrade (September, 2016)</title>
			<link>https://agardenersforum.com/blog/view/9/forum-upgrade-september-2016.html</link>
			<description>
			<![CDATA[
				We have been beta testing the initial builds of the new version of the UBB.threads forum software here for some time one thing that's been holding us back from the latest updates which also include updates for mobile users has been that the new date coding hasn't been completed and still isn't as of this writing, so I modified it to use the old date coding.This upgrade gives us many changes to how the forum functions you can click here to read changes, we went from April 4th to August 31st, and brings us one step closer to the final version, which should be out in the coming months.The main reasons for this upgrade are for better mobile support, Font Awesome support, and SSL support connection level security.

			<title>August 2016 - Front End Update</title>
			<link>https://agardenersforum.com/blog/view/8/august-2016-front-end-update.html</link>
			<description>
			<![CDATA[
				In the coming weeks we'll be applying updates to the main site not the forum which can break several sections we're aware that certain areas may not even work until the update has been completed.We will keep you informed as the near completion of these updates for up to date changes please see the Facebook Notification of this update.Updates827  10 PM I have got most of the Front End what you, the user sees done, the only lingering portions are sections that we don't use yet, so it's not a big deal for the time being.  I still have some of the admin side of things to take care of but everything that concerns how the site is seen is currently complete.826  2 PM A lingering issue has been fixed on the forums from the upgrade I neglected to update a small section of coding for SSL support security.  This has been fixed and the forums are now fully SSL capable.826  1 AM Any forum hiccups should be out of the way now that the style sheets and integration files have been updated.  Several site sections are currently not working exchange, identification, recipe, story, zone index, and others untested.  I'll have more time this afternoon to test the rest of the upgraded systems as well as rewrite the old sections that need moved to the new coding.825  10.30 PM There may be a momentary hiccup on the forums while we upload the new site template and stylesheets it should be momentary.825  4.45 PM Expect things to actually start being broken as of 4pm PDT today as I begin updating the databases on the main site the forums will continue working through the site updates.

				It has come to our attention that the Captcha image on the forum hasn't been loading for all users due to an inconsistency with the ImageMagick library on the server this issue has been rectified this afternoon and should no longer plague users attempting to register for the forums.

			<description>

				We've updated the site coding today to reflect our latest changes and features generally some new User Interface updates such as making the content borders smaller, adding the rounded corners on content boxes, etc.We've also made several areas of the site easier to read of which we haven't gotten all of the new systems updated to see the new revisions, this will be done in the next couple of days when I have more time to check the public files line by line to make sure they're up to the proper coding formats.

			<description>
			<![CDATA[
				Today we've spent a lot of time on the content submission pages making them a little cleaner by adjusting how the category parentchild hirearchy works and displays.Before we just threw a list of categories at you and you couldn't see where each category belongs as far as the public display system is concerned, and it was pretty kludgy.  Plus at times we have similarsame names for some subcategories which could just lead to more confusion with how it all displayed.With today's update we made it a lot easier to visually be able to tell what belongs where so you can more easily tell where to place your submissions or in the case of our staff, where they can place their submissions.How it was beforeAround the HomeIndoor PlantsIn the YardContainer GardeningCreative Gardening IdeasDIY ProjectsGardening TipsOutdoor PlantsBulbsFlowersHerbsPerennialsSucculentsTreesVegetablesOtherTechnologyHow it is nowAround the Home Indoor PlantsIn the Yard Container Gardening Creative Gardening Ideas DIY Projects Gardening Tips Outdoor Plants  Bulbs Flowers Herbs Perennials Succulents Trees VegetablesOtherTechnology

			<title>Small Updates</title>
			<link>https://agardenersforum.com/blog/view/3/small-updates.html</link>
			<description>
			<![CDATA[
				We made several updates this morning to the underlying systems Post and Update dates now display with content the issue after this update was that not all of the systems had either column, so I had to do another so that if the updated column had an older date than the posted date it looked weird, so another small update to take that into account.We've also taken and did some slight modifications to how things display such as all JavaScript is loaded after the page content, so if the server is slow during your request at least the data will load while the JavaScript is waiting to load.

			<title>Site Release</title>
			<link>https://agardenersforum.com/blog/view/2/site-release.html</link>
			<description>
			<![CDATA[
				Initially I had wanted to get this ready and released before Spring, but I've been nit picking here and there for some time, trying to piece everything together as perfectly as possible and I'm now fairly satisfied with how the back end coding looks and with how the site is presented to you, the user.We'll be lacking content for a while until I can get more added into the database, but there are a bunch of systems available for you all to test drive until more articles and recipe's get added.The best feature of all is, if you'd like to add a recipe or point us towards content, you can do so at the bottom of every system's main page just look for the Submit Content for Review links.

			<description>
			<![CDATA[
				Welcome to the new site for A Gardeners Forum!  I've been working long and hard to get this system pieced together.There isn't very much content right now, but I hope in the coming future that myself, our staff, and ordinary users like you can remedy that.Most of the systems allow users to submit content all content must be approved by our staff before it displays online.  All content will contain attributions to their original authors.
