Updates...

I've been diligently working to get the site back in shape. There are now separate albums in the Photo Gallery for each tree or group of trees, as well as for Special Events. Everything that was here before has been brought back.... now I just have to update everything with new pictures and so forth.

Speaking of Special Events, tomorrow morning I leave for Orlando to visit The 2006 EPCOT Flower & Garden Show. I'm taking the camera and my monopod, so hopefully I'll be able to take lots of nice pictures for a new gallery!

You'll notice that when you go to the Blog section of the site, or to the Photo Gallery, that things look a little different. That's because I'm using Community Server 2.0 (CS) for those parts of the site, to give us as many features as possible. I've had assistance from two other CS users, who I'd like to thank; Jaxon Rice from Johannesburg, South Africa and Gary McPherson from London, UK. CS is a pretty awesome tool, although I don't find anything about it to be very intuitive. If it wasn't for the help I received from these two fine gentlemen, I'm sure I'd have given up. Thanks!

Meanwhile, there are still a few rough spots. Things look and behave slightly differently in Internet Explorer versus Firefox, and I'm still trying to iron out all of the kinks. One nice thing is that if I decide to start a forum in the future, it's all here ready to go. Anyhow... should you spot anything amiss, please don't hesitate to let me know! Send me an email or leave a comment here. Thanks!

More next week, with photos from the Flower & Garden Show.
