After posting to a ID request, I have another topic which could be coupled with another FAQ or go by itself. No one is answering my ID request. Why? Reasons may include: - No embedded picture or clickable link to picture - A link to a photo album with many images - Poor pictures - People may not know! Ways to increase the chances you will get an ID request answered: - Embed photo directly in post - If embedding a photo in post isn't possible, include link to photo in "Optional Link URL" - Don't include links in the body of the post that people have to cut-and-paste into their browser window to see - If multiple images included of different plants, number them clearly - Don't include photo album links with oodles of plants to ID. Best results are gained when including 6 or less different plant ID's into one post. - Follow the photo and detail FAQ's as much as possible - If no one as answered in a few days, post a follow-up so the post gets seen again. - And in short - make it as easy as possible for people to answer your request and be gracious! People are generously offering their time and expertise to help you. FataMorgana

For aligning text the best thing is to put your text in tables. If you are not familar with tables, but have basic knowledge of html then they are easy to learn. Here is a link that explains tables and gives you copy/paste codes to use. Ed's site was created for ebay users, but the codes can be used on any web page. Here is a link that might be useful: Tables 101

Partly just to see how it will post. Partly to remind myself that a problem doesn't have to be tackled in one go. It's okay to chip away at it bit by bit. chugger@gigabyte:~/Desktop/season 1$ ls History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.01of13.San.Andreas.Fault.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.02of13.The.Deepest.Place.on.Earth.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.03of13..Krakatoa.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.04of13.Lock.Ness.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.05of13.New.York.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.06of13.Driest.Place.On.Earth.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.07of13.Great.Lakes.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.08of13.Yellowstone.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.09of13.Tsunami.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.10of13.Asteroids.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.11of13.Iceland.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.12of13.Hawaii.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.13of13.The.Alps.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi chugger@gigabyte:~/Desktop/season 1$ rename 's/History.Ch.How.the.Earth.Was.Made.Complete.Season.1.//' *.avi chugger@gigabyte:~/Desktop/season 1$ ls 01of13.San.Andreas.Fault.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi 08of13.Yellowstone.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi 02of13.The.Deepest.Place.on.Earth.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi 09of13.Tsunami.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi 03of13..Krakatoa.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi 10of13.Asteroids.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi 04of13.Lock.Ness.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi 11of13.Iceland.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi 05of13.New.York.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi 12of13.Hawaii.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi 06of13.Driest.Place.On.Earth.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi 13of13.The.Alps.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi 07of13.Great.Lakes.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org.avi chugger@gigabyte:~/Desktop/season 1$ rename 's/.XviD.AC3.MVGroup.org//' *.avi chugger@gigabyte:~/Desktop/season 1$ ls 01of13.San.Andreas.Fault.avi 05of13.New.York.avi 09of13.Tsunami.avi 13of13.The.Alps.avi 02of13.The.Deepest.Place.on.Earth.avi 06of13.Driest.Place.On.Earth.avi 10of13.Asteroids.avi 03of13..Krakatoa.avi 07of13.Great.Lakes.avi 11of13.Iceland.avi 04of13.Lock.Ness.avi 08of13.Yellowstone.avi 12of13.Hawaii.avi chugger@gigabyte:~/Desktop/season 1$ ls : sed -E 's/(..)(of13)(.*)/mv "&" \"s01e\1 - \3\"/' mv...

This is the extra coding that wordpad has added so that the page comes out like you have made it. Is this file saved as a "doc" file? If so then that is the reason for all the extra coding. It is better to learn html coding with notepad since it will not add any coding on its own. If it was notepad that you used in making the webpage perhaps you tried opening the page in wordpad to see it. this lets wordpad add its own coding so that it can read the page. When you saved the file did you save it as a txt file and added the .htm or .html after the file name? you must do this in order for IE to show the file as a html webpage. I learned html using notepad before there were editors to do html coding. I have tried many editors and i still think Microsoft Front Page is the best for people who just want to have their own webpage. You can find FP on ebay for around $50 for FP2000. I would choose this since it makes it easy to make webpages and you can concentrate on the graphics and content of your pages rather than the html coding. While it is still good to know html coding, it is not necessary to understand it all. JamesS
