“The RoseBouquet”

Just more renovational work on all three of my sites.

As I indicated last week, I’m going to do a total revamp of the old RoseBouquet section. I’m also putting all the book reviews into the new template or “look.” In fact, yesterday I finished the first introductory article, and you’ll find it in Ruthe’s Roses below.

On the business site, I fussed and fiddled with designing a new top of the page look, and voila, I managed to teach myself how to create nice looking raised, or shadowed text. That GIMP program is really wonderful, the more I figure out how to use it to do my graphics.

On the genealogy site on Saturday night, I hunted and tried to find a better fill-in-form program since the old one was not working. At one point of discouragement I prayed, and moments later noticed the forum program that I could install from the admin area in a matter of a couple of clicks. I spent the rest of the evening learning how to set it up to look nice, but I haven’t linked to it yet from the web pages, so nobody can find it. I’ll be doing that this weekend, and will renovate those pages while I’m at it.

Usually I’ve put off thoughts of installing a forum to dialogue with my visitors, because I’ve been afraid it would be very time-consuming. Since AGodlyInheritance.com is my smallest site that’s a good place to experiment. If it works out well, then it would be no problem to install forums on the other sites too.
