I guess this really isn't a question...but I noticed up top that GardenWeb is on Twitter.

I went and checked it out. They are using Tiny URL to link to threads at GardenWeb.

LOL!

You can' t use a Tiny URL here! It rejects them every time...

Twitter is yet another social networking site.

You can post thoughts moment by moment.

How to include photos in a post (revised 7/19/11))

Another web place to host pictures is with your ISP. My ISP gives me free webspace as part of my account. Its not a ton of space and its not easy to see how much space is left with my ISP. Yours may vary. Uploading can be super easy. I had an FTP client built into my desktop (cuteFtp) that was integrated with Windows explorer such that I could right-click on the file and have an option to Upload to My webspace. (I had to pre-size by hand though.) Then when I upgraded my desktop, cuteFTP was no longer working and I never got around to figuring it out. I have other FTP clients I can use to move files there. Nearly as easy, but no right-click. Probably ISP webspace is not for the average user, but a potentially easy option for some.

DtD: I thought that I'd covered that in this section: "Desirable sizes are either "thumbnails" which some hosting sites provide, or something close to 640 X 480 pixels. "Medium" or "Small" varies from program to program, so don't rely on it. (see corunum/Jane's discussion in the previous thread)." I'll try to make it stronger in the next revision, probably using the 640 X 480 pixels size as a maximum (unless someone has a better suggestion). Of course, these are just recommendations, and people can't be forced to abide by them. I don't want to make the process onerous, I'd rather someone just get a photo posted for the first time even if it's really big, and then the next ones can be posted in a more suitable size. Once they're past that first hurdle of posting they can work on the details. Claire

DSPs at Nor Cal Home Depot? Tiny little plumeria!
Q

Success!!! I went Jungle Jack plumeria hunting at Home Depots and was able to find some in Duarte, CA. They are in 2 gallon containers and cost $25.90. The plants look healthy and have at least 3 branches. The tags are Jungle Jack but the ones I found had generic descriptions. I did find markings on the branches. Does anyone know what the specific varieties are based on the codes? Premium Rainbow - HD Premium Yellow - Y (I'm hoping it's Inca Gold!) Premium Pink - SPJH J09 (I think it spells SPJH... it could be SPJM) Or if anyone knows of any other codes it would be nice to keep a list just in case we run into more JJs during our hunt! Does anyone know if Jungle Jack is going to have an open house this year? Thanks!

dadoes I think you hit the nail on the head with "the function is there to be seen if one looks in the right place". We as users of this site have no clue of what changes to look for. Where are the "right places"? It's like hide and seek...the webmaster of this site knows of the changes that they made but we as the users don't even know where to begin looking for ANY changes. I did notice the camera icons first but that only gave a hint that the thread may have some photos in it. The option to upload photos must have been a recently added option because it wasn't there when the camera icons popped up out of no where. It's NOT at all obvious when you look at this site through the eyes of the user as compared to the site developer/webmaster that is making the changes. Hey,gwAnnouncements let us in on these changes so we can use the site more efficiently...please.

"You can post thoughts moment by moment. "

As long as those thoughts contain 140 characters or fewer.

"You can post thoughts moment by moment. "

I'll bet that makes for a lot of thoughtless thoughts being posted for all to see.

Can you tell I'm not much of a socializer, other than forums where there communication exchanged.

I envision twitterers as those who maybe like to hear themselves talk.

Just another site for anyone with enough time or narcissism to relay every tedious bit of minutia filling their lives. :)

A bit of Twitter trivia and minutia: âº
A guy here in the Dallas area interviewed for and was hired at a leading router manufacturer. He twittered something about the company that was less than favorable and got caught by one of that company's employees. The news station that reported it said that they chose to un-hire him.

What a twit!...

Can anyone read anyone and everyone elses twittering?

Is it like me posting here, that anyone on the www can read my posts? Do you have to join twitter before you can see and read just what it is like? I know you would have to join in order to post twit, which I won't be doing.

I guess if one did not stop and think before twittering, it would be like opening one's mouth, and inserting one's foot, for all to see.

I thought it was just for cellphone SMS messages.
You leave a text message what you're doing,, subscribe to your friends messages.. and waste your day reading everybody's messages & somewhere along the line you see your neighbor is in Home Depot to pick up a caulking gun and you just remembered you need to return his caulking gun quick before he gets home.

I am not a twitter, I accidentally got involved and "following" a friend and the next thing I knew I had people coming out of the woodwork wanting to follow me on twitter and my email was flooded, so I backed out quickly and deleted all signs of twitter. I am not into the social networking.
