I guess that its time for an update on what I've been doing since I posted my opinion poll... I have been steadily switching the slide show boxes over to photo links to other pages on the site. Many are done, but I have many more to go. Some select pages will still have slide shows.... I added the top navigation bar to all the 'Wooden' style pages. I changed the button style on several pages I discovered that there were 538 linking errors in my coding. I tracked down and repaired about 90% of the errors so far. I did 'make-overs' on three more Screen Saver sets: [color:#993300]The Colors of Autumn[/color] (44 pages) Cats and Kittens (44 pages) Waterfalls of the Pacific Northwest (31 pages) I imagine I did a few other things in the process of doing this stuff but I can't remember what they were....

That is an enormous amount of work to have accomplished, Bill! I am terribly impressed with all the improvements! Merme

Awesome Wild Willy! Love the water falls and the Autumn colors is beautiful! Hey in one of the cat pictures there is a cat there that looks like my cat I had for 16 years, made me miss her all over again ( the black& white Sylvester like markings kittie) I like the < at the bottom of the pages I know it was there before, it adds a nice welcoming and gratitude for viewing touch, Once again The powers of Wild Willy working hard correcting links, brightening pages, and showing the wonders of nature at it's best,

a Dogwood tree would be a nice gift and so would a lilac.

It looks good to me, Bill. I am a horrid proof reader though. I tend to mentally correct as I go and not 'see' them. (Unless someone repeats errors consistently). Do you think that peace lilies belong in this group? So many people receive them as gifts and have problems maintaining them.

Bill, I have gone over some of it and I must say I am very pleased. the info is straight-forward & easy to understand. you do not have to have a degree in horticulture to understand whatto do, as it the case on some sites. I know many people will be appreciative of that. I know I am !!!

Do you think that peace lilies belong in this group? It has been added. Thank you! Another good one is the Thankgiving/Christmas Cactus I will be putting together a "Flowering Jungle Cacti" page before too long which will include Easter Cactus but I don't have a 'care page' made for them yet. Thank you! you do not have to have a degree in horticulture to understand what to do, as it the case on some sites. That has always been my intent. Thank you!

I guess I need to add orchids since I almost bought myself one yesterday. Since its getting close to gardening season I am going to try to update some pertinent pages. I consolidated the information from five pages into these Fruits and Veggie pages. (I still have some polishing to do....) Veggie garden basics Growing Tips and Planting Guides Soil pH recommendations for fruits and veggies

I'm Loving the PH soil page! I'm Not sure a lot of new veggie gardeners know how important that is BTW I've seen loads of orchids on sale here right now,, I almost bought one as well, But I've never had too much luck with them They sure are so delicate looking and beautiful!
