This is a Monster

Finished stubbing-in all the artificial reef pages, and integrating the dive sites and artificial reefs sections. It actually works better than the old hand-made site. Lots of nice automatic menus everywhere. Over 600 pages, and a lot more to go.

Still finding and fixing bugs, but the basic architecture is sound. I think the best plan is to put in blank pages for everything and get the 'tree' right. Then I can fill in the content, or 'leaves'.

The built-in search works really well; the outboard search in the old site has become balky.

Gargle is already showing interest, even though I am currently discouraging them.


An Aquarium For the Naturalist

Maintaining an aquarium filled with local fish and other aquatics can be an enjoyable, learning experience, and give you a good excuse to get out and stomp around in your local pond or stream. It's fun collecting new animals and plants to add to the aquarium, to replace ones that have died, or as food for your locally acquired fish, and learning about your wildlife is a fascinating part of the experience. In the shimmering shallows and mysterious depths of almost any nearby body of water thrives a whole world of living things, some very ugly and some very beautiful - the variety will amaze you. If you are interested in providing inexpensive recreation and education for yourself and perhaps your family, read on.
