I am beginning updates to the website.

Fixing a lot of little things, updating obsolete links, and the like.

Added (corrected links) to USDA/UC Davis data on the Caprifigs

Tonight I updated the "A" page Index and the "A" Info page, adding several new varieties, new Thumbnail pages, some new pix, and updating the Figs 4 Fun Collection Accession numbers (now that the collection has been inventoried and relabeled with new permanent brass tags).

This will probably take till the end of the year to complete.

Great info, but sometimes I get lost trying to navigate the site. If it isn't too difficult, what would you think of adding your standard links menu to the variety pages as well?

I have thought about adding a "Home" button to the varieties page.

go for it.

Some people might not know how to use the Internet and they might not know how to go back...

A home button would be great. All the info you've dollected on individual varieties is such a superb resource for someone like me, trying to sort out all the different options and compare characteristics. If I were just looking up one or two specific varieties a home button probably wouldn't matter, but I tend to atart in the "A"s and go through them in order. By the time I'm very far along, the only practical way back to the main site menu is to find it again on my "favorites" list.

But--regardless of whether you make any more navigation changes, it's a great site and a wealth of information! Thanks for putting it (and the forum) all together!

BTW, In the varieties section, the nature of the javascript used does not allow you to go "back" when you jump from one variety to another variety not beginning with the same letter, so to return to the original letter you must "click" the letter at the top of the page, rather than the "back" button. It was a trade off made when desigining the site.

"B" finished and "C" finished except for index.

Many of the new galleries only have an initial picture so that the links are complete, but more pix will follow in time.
