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. Murri "Franz Heymann" wrote in message ... "Lady Blacksword" wrote in message ... I think it looks fine............And I also think fussing over an apostrophe is really stupid and petty. If you had not top posted, I would have known what it is that looks fine. And unlike your remark, helping someone in a polite way to improve his/her use uf English is neither stupid nor petty. [snip] Franz |

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.

Murri 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." |

Thanks for the feedback, my wife and I are delighted that you enjoyed Valerie Margaret, as this is a rose that I have bred (out of Sunderland Supreme x Seedling) and named after my wife. Your hint is useful, I have been bothered with file uploading times and have been trying to minimise this. I have reduced photo file sizes as much as possible, and for the National Show photos I split the photos into three pages rather than one. After loading the picture for the first time any subsequent loading will be much quicker. I'll look into your suggestion to try and make further improvements.

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. Regards Martin Double Bexrose - Webmaster Email: Web Site: http://home.btconnect.com/cadoss/bexrose "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ...

The big advantage of using thumbnails is that you can link them to larger images on a separate page. The most efficient and widely used technique to browse such thumbnails is by opening the image up in a separate window so that it downloads whilst you carry on browsing the main page - and such glorious images would benefit from a few extra Kb of data! I can thoroughly recommend an application called Irfanview ( freeware, widely available ) as a means of reducing image size to the best advantage with regard to quality. If only there was some way of downloading the scent!! My compliments on the Valerie Margaret - your wife must be as proud and as beautiful as the rose.
