One of the hardest working Mentor/Authors on the site is coral1.  We have one of his pages moving up on Digg.  I did not even post it there.  I had it on Dzone and it got pickup up and posted on Digg by Lebon Bon Lebon who is one of the top posters on Digg.  He also thinks enough of it to add it to his blog: http://bonlebon.blogspot.com/

So our article is here:  http://www.expertsrt.com/articles/coral/Dumpster1.html

At the bottom of the page you will find the Digg icon.  Click it and that will add a vote (digg) for the piece.  If you are not already a Digg member you will have to register... it is a spam free registration.  They have never fouled my email with crap. 

If any ERT contributor deserves front page recognition it is Craig. Let's get this one over the top. 

If someone was to post the link in the lounge at EE and encourage support for a long time lizard, I don't think it would violate any EE taboos.

Dugg. Nice work coral ;-)
BTW, it might help to have a title="digg" attribute (and similar for the others), as well as making the mouse pointer change to a hand on mouseover. It wasn't totally obvious to me which link was for  digg (OK, you caught me, I'm not actually a complete nerd), and it wasn't obvious that the pictures were links, either, because the pointer did not change.

LOL
Okay, I nerd proofed it ;^)

I used the alt on the images for accessibility, and never thought to add teh title.  There was no pointer because the links are generated with script, so I styled the cursor.  See if it is easier now. 

I want to encourage user to click those so that fix was important.  We encourage all users to spread the word  even nerds.  hehe

Perfect *thumbs-up* -- Now you can put my "Nerd-proof" validation icon at the bottom of the page.

Uh oh!  Looks like I need to get back to work on part 2.

And I just had a ton of computer work come my way. That's AFTER I get done chasing the lawn mower during the day.    : /

You need to mod the lawnmowers into bots that you can control from a central point and then you would be multi-threaded.  ;^)

Waiting to the technology to improve. I hate repairing sprinklers,  replacing small bushes, and assorted landscaping 'whatnots'.   : /
