adding general photos of my garden to my new website

[TinaW]

I would like to use the website for adding general photos of my garden also. Can that be done or is it just for individual plants? I've already completed the web set-up and have gotten through the 'View' button.

Good question, Tina.

The Web Generation Feature (WGF) in GA032 was my first attempt at automatating the creation of web pages in this way.
If it catches on, I will certainly extend the system to allow users to publish their Garden Photos.

Andre has already assigned that WGF buzz word abbreviation so we can go with that 

You are not limited to one project on the ideasforgardens.net webspace.

Thus, heres my suggestion.
You can have one photo in the Introduction Page.

Lets say we use the introduction to present a Garden Photo.
Then, detail the significant plants in the photo.
Its like - heres a photo of my garden, and heres a closer view of some of the plants which are looking good.
This to me would be much more interesting than the usual Photo Albums which abound.

Lets take one flower bed.
One Project could be a view of the bed in Spring, showing the plants in bloom at that stage.
Then another "Summer" project for the same bed - etc, etc.

The WGF in GA032 has many applications 

Next thing to explain:
I will be making up a Home page on http://www.ideasforgardens.net
The home page will lead to a page which summarises each Users projects.
The visitor will choose a Project, and visit your projects.

Exciting stuff!!

Hi George,

sounds interesting.. I had been thinking of having a web page  but dunno how and also needs time to chew on it.

Hi Jessie!
Nice to hear from you again - and apologies for not beiing in touch lately. I hope things are good in Singapore.

I havent added this Web Page Generator feature to Flower Genie yet (the software you have).
But!! I'll gladly make up a set of Web Pages for you using the new feature.
You can have a "general" introduction page, with one photo, then a list of plant names with photos.
I'll have a look through the photos youve sent me already, and build a Web Project from them. I'd appreciate some more photos of course.
I need the name of the plant, and some descriptive text to go with each photo.

You can have a theme for the project, and do a writeup in the introduction.
Heres an example where the theme is the Camellias at Leuven Botanical Garden:
