Hi Kwyet1, Most non actual trade posts are to be asked on the Conversation side of the forum here. There is a link to Conversations just above the list of all the threads on page 1. There are mixed feelings about having pics on one's page, and the size of them is very important if you do use them, as many members are still on dial-up. Here is a thread discussing it. How many want photos included in trade page? While that does not explain how to do it, it might be of interest anyway. I'm sure someone will be along in a bit and add more here, and hopefully maybe just how to do it and have small pics. I know there is a site called Tiny pics that is useful if one wants/needs to post smaller pics, but I am not familiar with it. See my trade page. I have included clickable links to a few things for trade that I have my own pictures of. That way if anyone 'wants' to see it, they can, yet it won't slow down a dial-up user much...like a pic would. You can also stop over to the GW Test Forum and folks there can help both with making smaller pics, and including clickable links. There are a few 'regulars' there that are quite knowledgeable and will work with you until you get it. We have been having some fun there with HTML... FYI...GW sometimes will move posts off of the Discussion side to the Conversation side, so if you aren't finding your post, just check Conversations...no real biggie. Hope to see you at The Test Forum...we are a silly bunch over there. Sue...resident busy body

I used a seed mixture from the local Garden center and it had Kenblue. My lawn is not that large (.25 acre) and I have everything from full exposure to tree shaded areas. My irrigation system is the ace in the hole. A mixed KBG & TTTF just seemed to make much more sense. What TTTF + KBG blend would be recommended? What's the downside of Kenblue? I already plan to do an aeration and over-seed this fall. At this point I think the rear yard is going to come out great. The rear yard was almost completely bare before I seeded so there's not that many weeds. The front yard may require a full renovation in the Fall if I can't get ahead of the weeds. I'm the tyoe of guy who has no issue with spending 15-30 minutes a night for a while getting the weeds out by pulling them or using the weed hound. Thus far everything I have identified in the lawn can be zapped with off-the-shelf herbicides. Time will tell.

What a beauty......there's no stopping you now :-) Edna (who's waiting for more pictures)

Photobucket has a site for easy uploading and posting. There are others like snapfish, but photobucket is what I use. Linda C
