Blogging

What a great addition to the site! I'll definitely be making use of this one to justify my reasons for having an eccentric garden this year!

Great David! I really look forward to reading your Wizard of Oz garden blog :)

A useful addition Ajay, thank you.

Thanks for letting us let off steam, Ajay - as they say, 'It's good to talk'!

Hi Ajay, can you help me with this question? Each time I add to my blog, will it display as a separate single entry on the blogs page? Is this the reason I have to type in the title each time I want to add something?

Hi David. Yes, each blog post will appear as a separate entry. If you think of your blog as a Book, then each entry is a Chapter. The titles can be seen as Chapter names. So maybe you would have titles like "Inspiration", "The Future", "Summer on the Yellow Brick Road" etc. But then again, the book analogy may be a bit too formal. The blog is basically there for members to spill their guts about what they are doing in their gardening lives. Hope this answers your question.

Thanx Ajay, that is what I thought. I think I'll just keep my working title as is and put 1,2,3,etc after each entry so I can keep track of the order. Thanx again. PS. I would have liked to put in short quotes from the book where appropriate but am worried that this may be illegal without permission of copyright owners. Can you help me with this one also?

David, The EFF published a legal guide for blogging a while ago (http://www.eff.org/bloggers/lg/faq-ip.php). Note this is US focused, however it covers "Fair use". Quoting in small amounts and attributing them to the book is probably ok... but then I am no lawyer :)

Thanx again, Ajay. I will, however, try to resist writing actual quotes, to be on the saf sid.
