A suggestion for the moderators/webmistress/webmasters

[Guest guest]

I've been reading some of the group conversations on the SS website

in attempt to unconfuse myself on a particular point.

(See? Your efforts in maintaining the website ARE appreciated.)

 

I have a question...

and a suggestion.

 

The question: are the group conversations listed in chronological

order?

 

And would you consider (for at least future postings) adding a date

(month, year, or maybe year and quarter) to future postings and FAQ

entries?

 

Some of the conversations, when strung together, make sort of a meta-

conversation, but it's hard to know what order to mentally string

them together in.

Good Morning MsBaju

 

Thank you for your feedback with regards to our homepage. It is

always a pleasure to get comments. At least I know somebody is

looking at our homepage after all.

 

I have already put in the Month and Year in some of our latest

conversation series but not the old ones. What I am trying to do is

to chronologically them into year or perhaps alphabetical order. I

know they are all jumbled up right now but rest assured I am doing

what ever I can. The problem is my online time is rather restricted

for the past 2 - 3 weeks. But I will have more time starting from

tonight and I can do more work in the homepage.

 

I am in the midst of a "battle" and my mind is not in proper order

few days ago. But if you are willing to help me, I am really

grateful. It will definitely help us.

 

There has been suggestion that we should hire a professional

webmaster. But I am still very protective of our website. It is our

own hard work, like a garden we tended with love and care. We

started from scratch and we learn to mend it from trial and error.

To just hand it over to a stranger is a nightmare, to me. I believe

too tending the website is like Sadhana. You must do it yourself.

You do not hire another to do your Sadhana for you right?

 

Why don't you or anybody give us what you have in mind: a sample

of how we should do them, and I will do the necessary. The SS

homepage is DEVI's GARDEN. It is for us and from us. If you want to

be part of it, we welcome you with open arms.

I think msbauju is an ideal candidate to offer assistance as

sadhana. That is certainly allowed. But it isn't necessarily so that

you don't hire someone. It becomes a shared sadhana, in a

larger picture/grander scheme of things, of Shakti Sadhana.

 

I still feel that shafted us when it changed its archive

management (to non-management). It used to be that you could

input a term or topic, and up would pop all the messages that

dealt with that term or topic. They would already have the date,

etc. with them. But what, if anything, can be done about this?

Last time I looked into it, the answer was nothing.

Thank you; you're ahead of me!

I wish I knew more HTML. Your knowledge is far beyond mine.

There is a book called HTML4 for Dummies, and there's probably an

updated version since I got that years ago. It's quite helpful.

Aiyoooooo! what I know is just the basic lah! I never refer to the

books actually. I have a whole collection of them. Name it : cook

book for webmaster, HtML publishing etc but I hardly refer to any. I

cant even remember how I got those books. I borrowed from the

Singapore Library, brought them back to KL and forgot all about

them. Declared lost and pay the fine, and the books becomes mine.

I hope there is no Singapore Librarian amongst us. They will ban me

from borrowing in future. They are so rich... so many new books....

HHHaaaa.

 

How I learn the HTML : trial and error. I learn better and its more

fascinating. I download the HTML page, then dissect them into

pieces, look for the pattern and move them around. The result : you

can just figure out. hhhaaa

Hahaaahaaaa somebody finds this statement of mine shocking. Okay let

me clarify. I do not hoard books from the library. I stop borrowing

because I dont trust myself. That is my first incident. I left it in

the airport on my way back home and forgot all about. Eventually I

have to declare it as lost because I cant find them. The fines I

have to pay is the same as the cost of the books. Coincidentally

somebody in the airport found it and return it back to me during my

next trip. Since I have already paid, the library said its consider

sold.

 

If I want to do my reading, I go to the reference section. No more

books to bring back except those I bought from the bookstore.

 

Lesson learn from here people, if never never lend your books to me.
