It implies that I finally got beyond my little roadblocks and got another page renewed!  No Cindy... not my hand, not even my pix, I kind of 'borrowed' it...  Its raining Maple leaves...

It seems to work on just one page for the info you have there. And when people need specifics there are more pages to go to.

If you notice any spelling, punctuation, open tags showing or any other oh oh's on any of these pages, please let me know! After staring at the same text for hours I sometimes become blind to things that are staring me in the face. I promise that I won't be offended! http://www.thegardenhelper.com/honeysucklecare.html

see if that helped, please? Sorry it took me so long, Bill--I just shecked both the seeds and the honeysuckle links--I had to scroll side to side on both--but not to worry---the one side is advertisement so if I wqant to read the adver=tisement I do that & it I wish to read waht yo uhad in that particular bit of information or the buttone on the lright, I just cannot see the advertisements--all in all if is ok--so not to worry and I too will watch for typos from now on.

Sad to say after all you r hard work I still have to scroll. But ya know if Tina & cindy say it is ok perhaps it is me and my IE??? and like I say, it is no big deal----it is not like I will miss out on some info---I can see ALL the info/buttons at one time, and miss out only on the ads. & if I want to read the advertisements, I really do not need to have access to the buttons--so not to worry. I love the font size & colors & such----of course the information is great---(have not had time to check for typos yet....  )

Well, I tried... and I don't mind trying to fix things like the scroll, because when I go back I keep learning new tricks and stuff that help me on future fixes I will need to make, and how to not make the same errors again. Todays page was written in early 1999 when I didn't know a thing about what I was doing. I invented my own code as I went along, and somehow I managed to get the look I wanted. I had no idea at all about the #1 rule of html was that every starting tag requires a closing tag until one day a nice lady wrote to me and patiently explained some rules I wasn't following. The page probably had a hundred opens and 30 closers. I had to fix a lot of pages with oh oh's and was already busy busy, so I invented another billhtml rule to do a quick fix until I had time to redo it right. 10 years later, I finally got back to fixing my page. I had long forgotten about the tag rule and the nice lady and MY special codes and fixes. To do it correctly you should close your tag immediately after the function is performed. ie a centered line tag closes at the end of the line or italicized word tag closes at the end of the word.... Wherein comes my special 'no no' coding that survived on a functioning web page for ten years!  My secret fix is finally about to be revealed..... drumroll please? Waaaaaaaaaaaay down at the bottom of the page I put all of the end tags for the entire page in one long line... there were many more tags in the list but... </font></font></font></font></font></i></I></CENTER</CENTER><CENTER</font></font></i> I'm sure Mr Gizmo and other pros will appreciate the magnitude and insanity of Wild Willys own version of the html code. I agree... it was very bad stuff because that pretty much eliminated my credibility as a webmaster, and scared the search engines away... but... that page has been viewed by tens of thousands of people who viewed the page as I had intended, without a clue that the page shouldn't have even shown up.... It used looked Bla Bla Bla..... OK.... I completely redesigned, added to, and revised many parts of this page, so even if you read it before I think you'll enjoy a quick re-read... maybe not... After I get any input from you all, I will do some final polishing and Sluggy will finally, at long last, be proper and correct!

I never denied that....  The redesign was an 'out of the blue' brainfart. Personally I like the remake of Sluggy a LOT better... don't you? At least its not boring...

The 'notice' at the bottom is because a biologist wrote and set me straight on the facts about bananas in no uncertain terms. The 'notice' is my insurance of no lectures this time. Not sure how the notice will work when applied to the WW episode with the recipe for "perfectly sauteed Lawn Prawns"

While updating the Hummingbird Page I searched all the names in the list of flowers and was able to update a great many of the flowers to links to profile pages or pix pages with the pages I made after I put the hummer page together. When I started today only 4 of the flowers had any information attached to them at all...

My internet is still flakey so some times it is hard for me to make speed judgments. Did everything load fairly fast (considering the number of images)
Does everything fit where you think it should fit (single line of BFs on top?)
Now I need to edit the buttons...

everything is fine on this one,, when I clicked on this link the video of the hummingbirds started and I didn't see it right away not knowing it was there,, and I turned around to look what was making that sound in my house behind me then I saw the video Silly Me  On one of you're first links at the top of this topic http://www.thegardenhelper.com/freewallpaper.html has a gray lines one on each side that is off center,,,, is the gray lines supposed to be there? Other wise the font size is great,, the italicized words seem light in color but readable in all links ,, and all the link on buttons worked accordingly , and everything fit nicely on every page,,, again great job Wild Willy
