I miss you!

Dear BPOD,

I didn't know how much I appreciated the beautiful photos so faithfully posted, and the enthusiasm and awe-inspiring knowledge of the people who provide the information that goes with them, until you were drowned in the website's troubles.

Here's hoping the sun will shine on the site, soon.

Thanks Molly, I'm trying to get the forums issues sorted out first, before tackling BPotD. I have to wait for the main web site pages to get a refresh first, too -- so I can mirror the design on BPotD. We also still have some questions with the University as to who will host the content going forward. I can't promise any particular date yet.

 

<I can't promise any particular date yet.

Not asking, just wanted you all to know of all that BPOD and its crew meant to me (and did for me), which I didn't fully appreciate until you were no longer a click away! Perhaps that thought will cheer you a bit and help give you energy for the next step in the long task.

The following add-on may be useful in implementing Botany Photo of the Day:

Media of the Day/Week/Month

It seems to me the photos and comments in the existing collection can be placed into Media Gallery and the add-on can be used for selecting an entry at random for display.

 

Hopefully that dicentra picture is not supposed to represent a hanging of the head, as though weary or embarrassed.

 

I thought the Dicentra was native and modest, not too showy, you know, Canadian, eh?

 

Interesting idea for the forums, but it wouldn't quite replace the blog format.
