Title: Our plant genus slide show updates.
Post by: Lyn and Malcolm on January 01, 2011, 10:38:32 PM

I have had a bit of free time over the Christmas period and have been able to add many more of the genus of plants we have in the garden to our Genus slide show. I have played with the design as well.

Could you please report back if the slide show works ok on your various browsers. And how you get on with navigating the slide shows.
In internet explorer, if you press F11 it helps enlarge the page. Does that also work in your browsers

If anyone spots any mistakes in the naming of the plants  :o or spelling mistakes  :o please let me know, I am only human  ;D

I've had a brief look at your slideshow Malcolm viewing random sets with both IE8 and Firefox 3.6.13.

Everything seemed to display okay on both browsers.  Will look in more detail another time, only able to give you a quick result for now.

Great sets of photos (as usual  ;) ).

As for spelling... I'm okay for normal everyday words, but not an expert on the botanical ones.  Some of the more botanically inclined members will have to help on that one.  :D

Thanks for that Laurie

I am neither an expert on every day woords ;D or Botanical ones. It gets worse with age  ::)

Check you names against the Master Database, Malcolm.
The majority of the plants are verified against the RHS Plant Finder

I have been viewing the slide shows on my Sony screen, Malcolm, and seen at full screen it works beautifully with the black background. Plants types and knowledge of name spellings is not my forte so no input on that, sorry  :-[. I enjoyed looking through them very much.  I use FireFox as my browser. F11 does not work with my keyboard, I have other functions allocated to the F keys but all I do is click on "view/full screen".

looks very good IE8 no problems to report, could not see any obvious spelling mistakes, but i will take a longer look through late, like the full screen bit  ;)
