Photo's of The National Summer Show

[Lady Blacksword]

I think it looks fine............And I also think fussing over an apostrophe
is really stupid and petty.

No. Language is either beautiful or ugly. There is no in-between.

The web site design is down to me, just an enthusiastic amateur, but I am
always open to suggestions for improvement.

Our monthly news bulletin is put together by Bexrose Hon secretary (Janet
Newton) and another (Pat Powell), they email the bulletin to me for
uploading onto our web site. Bexrose also distribute hard copies of the
bulletin (400 odd) to those members that do not have computers. We are
trying to encorage more to make use of the electronic form of the bulletin,
a few members are sent the bulletin direct by email as their prefered
choice.

Other articles are mostly by me with a few from others. I would like more
from others of course in order to lighten my work load.

So to the point!
1) There is the current material on the web site all produced over about the
last 6-7 months.
2) There is the monthly bulletin.
3) Articles are produced on a random basis, averaging about one or two per
month so far. I see this trend steadily reducing as our planned list of
articles becomes complete. After that there will be just a little updating /
improved presentaion / maintenace of the articles.
4) News, Events, Show Results, and those much discuss Photos will be up
dated as necessary about once every two months.
5) Additions to existing articles as and when. For instance the article on
rose varieties / varieties for exhibition needs more photos and a much
fuller description of the varieties i.e. Scent, Habit, Etc.

Assistance in editing of all or any of the above for spelling, grammar,
technical content, presentation etc would be welcomed.

All sounds to be a lot of work but I see the next year as probably
completing the core content of the web site. And, many hands make light
work!

Please contact me direct with any further advice, comments, articles, offers
of help etc.

As far as what you called "technical content", I don't think I'll have time
for that. I just bought a new house and I'm not planning on eating or
sleeping until the garden is done. But, I'd be glad to help with
grammar/spelling/sentence smoothness. Email me at my hotmail address and
I'll give you my "not for public consumption" email address. We'll go from
there.

Oh, that's the other one that's petty.
Bitching because you LIKE scrolling and someone has so cruelly deprived you
of the ( dubious ) pleasure.

OK. Good job. I clicked the button. The photos are technically very adept,
but where's the scent??? Who designed that web site? :-)

I may regret this, but I might help you with your editing. How much stuff
are you talking about, and how often?

Yeah, but it's like fingernails on a blackboard. And even worse, back
grammar spreads like mold on bread. A kid sees misused apostrophes and does
the same thing in her writing. Three of her friends see it and do the same.
Next thing you know, a college admissions counselor sees the awful writing
on their (not THERE) applications, laughs, and throws the papers into the
trash.

The worst is when people say "Aww hell....it's just the web....good
writing's not that important."

You are welcome to sidestep me.
My six posts were a failed attempt to persuade somebody to adhere to
good usenet practice.
