Wow! I have always loved her writing, and her simple yet beautiful way of displaying her plants for photographs has influenced much of my own creative work. Thanks for the “heads up” Kathy.

Kathy,
If only I had known in March, when I was trying to start my blog, that you had it all documented so I could avoid 11,982 stupid mistakes! Thanks for the lessons, which I will have to study carefully. Meantime I have created a prominent page called credits, and that’s a start.
It is unseasonably (there’s that word again) hot here and very dry for April, so I am frantic on all fronts, and busy praying for rain. I look forward to a season knowing you are just up the road, so to speak, for counsel and inspiration.
Margaret

Margaret, Welcome to the garden blogging community. I am somewhat of a geek myself, so just as you might look at a magazine's masthead, I look for the designer's credits. I wasn't finding fault, just curious. Most free WordPress themes (designs) have a stipulation that the designer be linked to in the footer. Other credits can be listed in a sub-page of the About page. This is still on my to-do list! To credit photos, I either use a caption under the photo, or use the title attribute of the img tag. (I created a breakdown of an html image link with its attributes to help people understand terms like "title attribute.")
