Helpful URLS
Diane Whitehead (Thu, 18 Dec 2003 11:59:34 PST)
I have checked all the URLS that were submitted last year. In some
cases I have made changes, which I have marked "changed", either
because the website itself directed me to a new URL, or because I
found the original homepage very difficult to navigate, and after a
lot of thrashing around found an easier part of the site. (Those
whose browser supports Korean and Japanese won't have any problem
with the originals.)
I have also added a couple of new sites. (New to this list. Marked "new")
Some sites could not be found and I have moved them to the bottom of
the list. Unfortunately two were good sources of Nerine pictures.
They might be worth checking later. Last week one site was only
partially accessible, but this week it is fine, so sometimes troubles
are temporary.
It is always a good idea to let a person know if you are having
trouble with their website. Sometimes the problem is that the owner
has contracted for a modest number of visitors, and if that number is
exceeded, no one else can get on till the following day. Usually
there will be a message explaining that.
