In case you haven't noticed, Dave has been hard at work adding some new (and subtle) tweaks, which should make our use of DG features even easier:
1. In the Plants Database, if you enter plant name and your spelling is a little "off" it will try to guess what you mean, and give you some options to choose from. (Not spell-checker, but great for those of us who are "spelling challenged" LOL.)
2. We can now add photos to our entries in Gardenology. When you see an asterisk (*) next to a term, it has a photo. Check out paulgrow's tomato hornworm picture, unless you're squeamish. (And while you're there, "adopt a term" - many still need definitions!)
3. The Tradelist just got easier to search (see the "Seed/Plant Trading" link in the DG network box? That's fairly new, too.) Even newer: now when you search for an item, you'll see results that say if it's available for trade or SASE. Now you don't have to click on each one to find out if a person is looking for the same thing you are, or has some to trade!
Some of these changes are because of requests we've made, and some are just because Dave is a gardener like us, as well as our webmaster - pretty cool, huh? Way to go Dave!
Dave's been busy :-)
Brilliant! Thanks Dave (and go_vols) :o)
