I promise I’ll post something more substantial today…but I had to pass this email message along that I received this morning. Way to go colleagues and commenters!
Hi Linda,
Your new weblog, the Garden Professors, is an impressive piece of work! I plugged it today in the consumer horticulture CoP blog [http://www.consumerhortcop.wordpress.com].

Your link to the consumerhortcop site is off in the html – the name is correct, the underlying url is what's off.
Ray, I just clicked on the hot link and it opens fine for me. I'm not sure what I can do to help you get to the site?
Here's what comes up if you click on it:
https://webmail.puyallup.wsu.edu/exchweb/bin/auth/owalogon.asp?url=https://webmail.puyallup.wsu.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp%3FURL=http://www.consumerhortcop.wordpress.com&reason=0
I've gotten to the site by deleting the extraneaous stuff. Not sure, but you seem to be linking directly to an on-line, remote version of the email itself, from MS Exchange.
All that needs to be in the html is this:

Sorry about that Ray! I think it is fixed now. Please let me know otherwise.
No worries. Works fine, now. Cheers, and congrats, BTW!
Thank you! We love having people to blog with!
Congratulatons! I just found your blog today (as you can see from all the comments I'm posting), and am completely thrilled that you all are writing and posting this stuff. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
Thank you, Deb! I think you win the prize for most comments posted by the same person. Help spread the word – our goal is to maintain 1000 hits a day before the end of the year.
