Green Grin!

Still adding images for daylilies, which have all the details thank goodness! But with all the rain expected this week, maybe I will have time to go back to some other images and start adding some details.

Here's more information:

In the past 12 days (March 1st through 12th) we had 12,378 visits come through a Google search.

7,219 of those were into the plant database.

4,047 were to one of the many plant pages in the database.

2,952 were to one of the many full size photo pages in the DB.

Compare that with 3,822 by Google searches that came to a thread in the forums or elsewhere.

The database is responsible for well over half of all new visits to the site. Smiling

Dave, on that Plant Files Forum, after you make a comment on an image, do you think we might need a link back to that main forum page so we can continue scrolling through the image comments?

Do you mean when replying to an existing thread that has been posted? Or a new thread you're creating about a photo?

The existing one. I scroll through the forum to see what images have comments and then often add my comment. I then have to hit my back button the get back to that forum, it would be nice to have a "Return to Plant File Photo Forum" link.

I'll get that added in.

BTW, the name "Plant Files" is owned by a competing gardening site. We can't use that name in any way over here.
