It's always a good time to tell fellow gardeners about ATP!!

I just put ATP up on the FB page and gave them the FB link as well as this one. Hope this helps and makes up for my tardyness.

Dave - Can you edit the card to make the website link in "bold" print? It blends in too much with all the other writing. I glanced at the card and didn't see it the first time. Was going to mention it here, but decided to look at the cards again and then saw the website address on the lower left side of the card.

Becky, I updated the PDF to have a bold URL now.

Much better!

Perfect! Thanks, Dave!

I have another suggestion ....

When a new member joins, can you add to the questions they have to fill in to join:

"How (or who) did you hear about All Things Plant website?"

Could that be another way to credit members here for new members joining?

I was thinking of putting my user name on the back of the card.

I agree with @beckygardener that the web address needed to be in bold, but I wonder if there could be a second choice - one that is less busy and wordy -
one that has only the ATP logo and at the bottom the bold address and nothing else?
I created one as an example but can't figure out how to post here.

Take a picture?

or a screenshot?

Thanks, as I say 'duh!'
One image has things more centered; the other a bit to the left. Still not perfect, but you can get the idea.



Whether at an event, or the grocery store or walking the dog, by the time I need to hand this card to a person I will have already bragged about the site and most of its features. They want to look up the site; all they need is the web address to remind them.

Nice and simple

Considering the short attention spans common nowadays simpler is probably better.

Here you go Sue

Thanks Jennifer, I actually came across that a few days ago too and saved it. I was thinking of the special ones we had on DG.

Thanks for pointing out that many people just tend to be lurkers and it may not mean a lot that they posted one question and then vanished from sight.

I used to think that getting 10-20 eager and cheery answers in the first two hours might be scaring some people away!

Like posting an index card on a bulletin board, planning to check back in week to see if anyone answers, and suddenly finding yourself in the center of a mob of people trying to talk your ear off before you can turn around.

Maybe I'll make a habit, if I'm the 5th person to respond and the original poster is still like a deer in headlights, to say something like "Though we would love to know if any of this sounds related to your question, it is OK to use the site without becoming Chaty Kathy."

Like Seedfork (Hi Larry!) I feel natural elbowing my way in. Maybe that gets intimidating to some people, if a half dozen people have all jumped into the thread before they even check back.

Well, its clear you will never be a "Chaty Kathy" Rick. You always share great information with a minimal amount of Chatty. You know how to condense thoughts and write so well...

Also......if they don't know that in order to receive an email that you got an answer, you need to put the question in the question forum. They may just be putting it where ever seems appropriate for that question. So, to them, no one ever answers.

LOL, I could take some lessons from Rick. I've been told that I have a maximal amount of "Chatty" when sharing minimal information.

HI, Rick!
