It implies that I finally got beyond my little roadblocks and got another page renewed!  No Cindy... not my hand, not even my pix, I kind of 'borrowed' it...  Its raining Maple leaves...

It seems to work on just one page for the info you have there. And when people need specifics there are more pages to go to.

see if that helped, please? Sorry it took me so long, Bill--I just shecked both the seeds and the honeysuckle links--I had to scroll side to side on both--but not to worry---the one side is advertisement so if I wqant to read the adver=tisement I do that & it I wish to read waht yo uhad in that particular bit of information or the buttone on the lright, I just cannot see the advertisements--all in all if is ok--so not to worry and I too will watch for typos from now on.

Sad to say after all you r hard work I still have to scroll. But ya know if Tina & cindy say it is ok perhaps it is me and my IE??? and like I say, it is no big deal----it is not like I will miss out on some info---I can see ALL the info/buttons at one time, and miss out only on the ads. & if I want to read the advertisements, I really do not need to have access to the buttons--so not to worry. I love the font size & colors & such----of course the information is great---(have not had time to check for typos yet....  )

Well, I tried... and I don't mind trying to fix things like the scroll, because when I go back I keep learning new tricks and stuff that help me on future fixes I will need to make, and how to not make the same errors again. Todays page was written in early 1999 when I didn't know a thing about what I was doing. I invented my own code as I went along, and somehow I managed to get the look I wanted. I had no idea at all about the #1 rule of html was that every starting tag requires a closing tag until one day a nice lady wrote to me and patiently explained some rules I wasn't following. The page probably had a hundred opens and 30 closers. I had to fix a lot of pages with oh oh's and was already busy busy, so I invented another billhtml rule to do a quick fix until I had time to redo it right. 10 years later, I finally got back to fixing my page. I had long forgotten about the tag rule and the nice lady and MY special codes and fixes. To do it correctly you should close your tag immediately after the function is performed. ie a centered line tag closes at the end of the line or italicized word tag closes at the end of the word.... Wherein comes my special 'no no' coding that survived on a functioning web page for ten years!  My secret fix is finally about to be revealed..... drumroll please? Waaaaaaaaaaaay down at the bottom of the page I put all of the end tags for the entire page in one long line... there were many more tags in the list but... </font></font></font></font></font></i></I></CENTER</CENTER><CENTER</font></font></i> I'm sure Mr Gizmo and other pros will appreciate the magnitude and insanity of Wild Willys own version of the html code. I agree... it was very bad stuff because that pretty much eliminated my credibility as a webmaster, and scared the search engines away... but... that page has been viewed by tens of thousands of people who viewed the page as I had intended, without a clue that the page shouldn't have even shown up....  It used looked Bla Bla Bla..... OK.... I completely redesigned, added to, and revised many parts of this page, so even if you read it before I think you'll enjoy a quick re-read... maybe not... After I get any input from you all, I will do some final polishing and Sluggy will finally, at long last, be proper and correct!

I never denied that....  The redesign was an 'out of the blue' brainfart. Personally I like the remake of Sluggy a LOT better... don't you? At least its not boring...

The 'notice' at the bottom is because a biologist wrote and set me straight on the facts about bananas in no uncertain terms. The 'notice' is my insurance of no lectures this time. Not sure how the notice will work when applied to the WW episode with the recipe for "perfectly sauteed Lawn Prawns"

While updating the Hummingbird Page I searched all the names in the list of flowers and was able to update a great many of the flowers to links to profile pages or pix pages with the pages I made after I put the hummer page together. When I started today only 4 of the flowers had any information attached to them at all...

My internet is still flakey so some times it is hard for me to make speed judgments. Did everything load fairly fast (considering the number of images) Does everything fit where you think it should fit (single line of BFs on top?) Now I need to edit the buttons...

everything is fine on this one,,  when I clicked on this link the video of the hummingbirds started and I didn't see it right away not knowing it was there,, and I turned around to look what was making that sound in my house behind me  then I saw the video  Silly Me On one of you're first links at the top of this topic http://www.thegardenhelper.com/freewallpaper.html has a gray lines one on each side that is off center,,,, is the gray lines supposed to be there? Other wise the font size is great,, the italicized words seem light in color but readable in all links ,, and all the link on buttons worked accordingly , and everything fit nicely on every page,,, again great job Wild Willy

is the gray lines supposed to be there? The second line isn't supposed to be there... it's a background problem. I only have one page to list this morning, but it actually took 26 different pages to make the one page work... The graphics archive page..

I have to get going now, Bill, but I will come and check out all the graphics later today.
I did check oput a few of the bar graphics though. (mainly Christmas ones) I clicked on the "sleigh ride" bar graphic I got nothing but a red X in a box--all of the other Christmas bars I tried worked though.
I will beback to check more later.--of to appointments now.....

There are a couple hundred plant profile and 'how to" pages that I wrote after I put the directories together so I am back tracking and cataloging them into the directories. My site mapping software has been going non-stop for 27 hours now and has indexed 33,867 TGH pages so far.... then I will have to do a lot of editing (weeks?), but the finished map will be a nice, HUGE reference source for everyone. As I edit the sitemap I will add a lot more pages to the categorized directories (like 'Flowering Trees and Shrubs', 'shade plants', 'alkaline soil plants' etc.)
(up to 34,190 pages now, and searching slowly... after editing, there will only be half that many for the finished map.)

so I guess me printing it all out & putting the pages in sheet protectors, & then in a binder is out of the question, HUH???
Boy that is sure an ambitious undertakiong, Bill.----- That is such a kind thing to do---to make all the information you provide for people easier to access. such a wonderful thing for you to do. :wink: I know I will appreciate it.

yea--do that------in your spare time  (Bill, do you even have spare time??? I sometimes wonder when you sleep.  no, seriously, what I will do is as I use something I will print it out & add it to my "gardening" binder--I use the big 4 inch binders they sell for school kids---you can print up a page identifying what the binder is for and slip it in the front or back binder sleeve (& even the end if you have the time & energy.) it works out great. a disk does sound cool though......you could add it to the items you have for sale--you do still sell cups & such, right?? I have a garden helper cup & mangnet

After spidering pages for 33 hours the final page count for my sitemap is 36,753 pages. I have a lot of editing to do, but here is the first draft of The Garden Helper Sitemap  You'll have to be pretty bored to look through all the links, but there is a LOT of good info in there.

If you are remotely interested in seeing a 'before and after' of a page make-over, I am working on http://www.thegardenhelper.com/viningplants.html right now and the online version is still circa 1997. I won't be going to bed until it is finished and online. Most of the re-makes so far have had little in the way of changes other than the face-lift.... This page will have a LOT of new info, so there will be a big difference to see before and after...

I did yesterday so had to go and try today. I 'fits' the rest of the forum now and it doesn't open in a new window. (I know that because I 'x-ed' out of it and closed the forum. Had to open a new window and come back in.  )

first let me say I love the format of these pages--it was so easy to read, undertand & navigate from & back to. I esp love the use of symbols & the key in the Perennial Rock Garden Plant profile-- I also appreciate being able to look at some of the photos & then read what members have said in the past----old info is still good AND applicable. Thanks much.

These pages are very well done, Bill. The background is a bit dark on my PC but I can still read it and that is great considering I have a hard time reading many sites at all.
What a handy format you've chosen. Thanks much.

cool--more to look at--fun fun
Looked good to me, Bill--- and may I say I like it when information is all laid out nice & straight forward like it is on that page.

I like the Calendar page, Bill.  Merme
![[Linked Image]](//www.agardenersforum.com/images/graphics/buttons/merme.gif) ![[Linked Image]](//www.agardenersforum.com/images/graphics/buttons/gardenhelper.jpg) We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

Yep... from some "Master Gardener" He even had the nerve to hot link back to MY images (which don't show up on his site, thanks to Mr. Gizmo!   That's right up there with stealing a guy's Garden gnomes (or frogs) out of his own yard! About 2 years ago, some woman (with money) decided that she liked my site name so she paid for garden-helper.com to be built for her... Kinda P'd me off and still does,  but today I discovered that some guy liked HER site name and started his site garden-helpercom.com. That got me laughing pretty good!  Bet that neither of them will ever make it into Time magazine though!

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Bill, but to me this is just plain theft and bad manners.

I couldn't remember if I had ever posted that. It was a lonnng time ago.  I was in Seventeen Magazine once too... but I don't have a link or anything for it... It was for 'Plant a tree for Arbor Day' or something... I'll try to find my 'cool link' list later. Its been a long day already and now I am off to town

oh that is SO sad, no one "cleaned" did they???---  If you saw my messy house, you would NEVER have asked that!!!  It's here, somewhere, in one of those mountains of 'stuff and things'. There is stuff here that has remained unseen since 1982. Ask Cindy... we went treasure hunting in the back (ick) room one day when she was here

fantastic, Bill. That is what I like (and I am sure I am not alone) simple & straight forward instructions, that many people can understand. I am guessing I could treat my lilac bush the same way???
