Hi everyone,

I thought you would be interested in visiting a new gardening picture
site called 'GardenRatings.com' (http://www.gardenratings.com)

The site allows you to post up to 16 pictures of your garden/landscaping
and allows others to rate them and post comments. It is currently in its
early stages so you are invited to join and post your own pictures if
you wish. This new site is not trying to compete against this forum and
will not include a forum section. It is just a simple website where you
can enjoy
looking at garden pictures.

Note to moderators : If this is out of place then please feel free to
move or delete my post.

Who the heck needs a web site to post to. This is the place to post
to.

Unfortunately a lot of people, especially the younger internet folk, have
never heard of Usenet and Newsgroups. They believe the internet is the www
and only the www and cannot understand there is something older. It's why a
lot use web sites like gardenbanter.co.uk to post to all the gardening
related newsgroups, they cannot compute that they can post direct to a
newsgroup and that newsgroups are not part of a web site. Sad really when
the same youngsters think they know it all.
Even with a Windows OS, in Live Mail or Outlook Express the word "Newsgroup"
appears in the toolbar, yet they don't think to click to see what it does. I
thought this strange but have discovered a lot of newer users don't use a
mail client program on their computer but use web based mail instead.
