New WikiGardener Website

[OllieMartin]

I've just finished the tomato troubles page; it contains a large number of images of various conditions of the leaves, fruit, stems etc with links to each condition and treatment/prevention recommendations.
Handy for identifying what's wrong with your plants and finding a solution.

Tomato/Troubles - WikiGardener Wiki

Brilliant Ollie, how will you know when enough is enough or is it like a triffid & just keep growing?

It's like that ginger beer recipe binley posted, it should just keep on growing and growing (once it's large enough to be returned on google searches so potential editors can find it).

That's the hope anyway

I don't think you will have any problem there pal.......I can tell a lot of hard work and time has gone into it.

Seems a bit cheeky to turn up just to re-plug my website after so long away from the vine. But it IS winter after all.

2 things:
1. I've relocated the site to a new host as the old one was too controlling. WikiGardener - Growing fruit, veg; tomato, potato, carrot & for plant troubles; disease & pests

2. I've been working on a new format for the troulbes pages and would really appreaciate the vine's collective opinion on it.

I have converted the page on images of tomato troubles into a new format and am not sure the new format is better overall:
old format: Tomato troubles - WikiGardener - The gardening site that anyone can edit
new format: Template:Test - WikiGardener - The gardening site that anyone can edit

The old format concentrates on the images and allows you to browse a large number quickly.
The new format concentrates on the locations and types of troubles and allows you to sort them by area/type.

Any preference folks?

P.S. The site might look a little odd with the blue border at the top, I'm waiting for an admin to convert it.

thanks

He's back in da house!

And there was us wondering if you have been jailed for your WikiLeeks.

The frost has made my Wiki-Leeks go all floppy! Just hoping they'll bounce back in spring. (That must be why they call it "Spring" right?)

I hope so - we can't have you with a floppy leek.

..stop talking about leeks...ya tempting fate laddie with all that building work going on!!

[OllieMartin]

I'm not sure leeks are as superstitious as, for example, P**snips!

So diverting back to the original question; which is better:
old format: Tomato troubles - WikiGardener - The gardening site that anyone can edit
new format: Template:Test - WikiGardener - The gardening site that anyone can edit

Urmmm...the old one is easier to scan through to compare piccies- but I think I prefer the newer one. Looks less like a Google presentation too

Sorry Ollie my broadband conection is too tenuous to access the pages to compare - but I just wanted to say how brilliant the whole thing is and to boast to everyone that I have met Ollie - I know someone famous!!!!

Great, thanks for the feedback. Any suggestions on improvements?
I had thought to add some details of the symptoms into the right-hand column to help users identify their problem, but that's even more work so will have to wait.

That is a drawback to these pages as they contain a large number of images.
I think I'm more famous for my panda facts than this site, especially considering the traffic it's getting (or isn't getting)
