I would like to create a category in my journal just for the garden/soil preparation. I'm taking pictures of before, during & after and I thought I could keep track of those in my journal. But, the journal seems much more geared toward planting live items with associate genus/species. And, I don't see where I could even post a photo in the journal. Any good work arounds for maintaining a journal with photos of progress made in the garden?
Thanks!
Can I Create a Category That Can Accept Photos?
Morph, check out my journal, and look at the "Almanac and Journal" for an example of using the journal for non-plant items. Once you create a category and an item within it, you can create as many entries under that item as you wish, each with its own photo. Let me know if you have any questions - I've promised JoanJ to help her with her journal one of these days (actually, I was supposed to help her Saturday, and somehow the day got away from me completely, as did the weekend.) Maybe we could schedule a time for the three of us to work on your journals and email each other with questions.
I just did one "My FL picture album" in my journal. It was really easier than I thought, and was great to put everything in one place. Just keep adding an entry.
In my journal,I've got a step by step tutuorial on how to make cornhusk dolls.There are about 40 pictures involved.
Check it out.
Thanks all ~ I knew there had to be a way. Let me go through Melody's & tiG's journals to see if I can make sense of it (I am a programmer, but that may not help here ~ LOL). If I'm still lost, I may like to take you up on your offer, go_vols! Thanks everyone!
Morph, I just made a category "FL", then made one entry. Then I kept adding to that same entry, there is a link that says just that, and that keeps them all on the same page. You can always delete something if you get it wrong.

I think I understand & will try to add some of my "before" pictures that I took & scanned to hopefully contrast with the "after" shots I hope to take this summer. I know I can get the digital copies made; just haven't made the monetary leap for that on a consistent basis. I do recall someone mentioning a rather inexpensive site for this, but it got lost in all my ambitious planting efforts this season so far. I like the picture from Dave's June 4th category with the young girl sniffing the dandelion (I think). Well, she's more pushing it into her nose :) Haven't we all done that at some point? LOL... Thanks everyone for your help!
I think I have success! The pix are loading slowly, but I have the hang of it (knocking on wood). Thanks again for the explanations :) Much appreciated.
