Hi
changed background of comments so that users can see the border between posts, it wasn't clear where one started and the other finished.

Added an 'email us' link at button of right sidebars.If users are using their PC email client, this will open an email with our address and 'Question about the project' in the subject line. The email will include any signatures etc they have as default. This doesn't work from web based email clients.

Extended the Visitors so it matches up with other sidebars, changed colour too to match. There is space for 4 columns of flags now.

posting by email

Hi,

you can post your posts from an email client by using the email address that you define for yourselves under 'the 'settings' tab and choose email. You will be presented with a near complete email address that you only have to fill the middle bit in with what you want. This will give an email address as: log in emailname. yourchoice@blogger.com

The subject of the email will become the title of the post. Its fast, just a minute or so and you're posted. This means that you can add to the blog from any email source, blackberry, pda, laptop etc etc without needing to open and log in to the blog page.

Makes life easy, hey?

Peace

Hi all,

today I added the first of our Picasa web albums directly to the side bar. The first set is an ongoing one, showing scenery and activities by the volunteers and visitors. The second set is a temporary one of the salt pans around Henry's Island, this set will be changed regularly.

Even with the neglect of the government and the greed of irrigators upstream, this wetlands area can still put on a show of beauty.

Also, Ive edited the HTML and changed the background colors of the comments below the posts to the same as the background of the posts. Personally, I think this looks a little better than contrasting colours.

I have put the link to a Google Earth file that will show key points from the start of the Freeway through to Hacks Point. I've also added another a kml file that locates the pictures from the slideshow onto Google Earth. Just click the link, then at the bottom of the opened page and select 'download file'. I've only temporarily housed the files on a free site. When we get our website running, they will be on there.

peace
