    This brought a giant smile to my face: being noted by you as being part of WP. I knew that gardeners would like me…but to have this new community, WP, say “she’s OK,” too is pretty special. Couldn’t have done it w/o designer Ken Smith, http://kennethbsmith.com, who hacked Brian Gardner’s Blue Zin masterfully in my horticultural behalf.

    A Way To Garden is such a refreshing way to start my day! Thanks, Margaret, and WordPress.
    Cheerio,

    Roach rocks!

    Thank you for the kind words about the design. Besides being an encyclopedia of gardeknowledge, Margaret is terrific to work with. And so is WordPress. We looked at other blogging software, but being Open Source, WP was our first choice. Kinda like those Verison commercials where we have an army off-screen to support and create great solutions for this new communication medium. We both came from print journalism. Tomorrow (and today) belong to WordPress.

    WP is very discerning! I echo the sentiment!

    margaret has always been such an amazingly inspiring woman — as gardener, writer, and innovator. how perfectly natural that she’d take to WP in her latest foray of communicating her fantastic message to the world. cheers WP, for finding her out there, and for acknowledging the beauty she brings to life each day!
