What can I do when I start on MyGarden.org?

When you went through the register process, you arrive on the homepage, the hart of MyGarden.org. Here you can, as you may know from Twitter and Facebook, write short messages about your garden. This can be anything, as long as it is related to your garden.

Under the messagefield, you see a few buttons, useful buttons!

The first series are used to add extra info to your message.

Plant

When you want to link your message to a certain plant in your garden, use the “plant” button. Click it, and select the appropriate plant.

Gardener

This button allows you to write a public message to another user. Just click the button, select the user (as you did with the plant). You can only write a message to a user you follow.

Photo

When you click the “photo” button, you can select a file to show as a picture about your message

Link

When you have an interesting link to share with your fellow gardeners, click the “Link” button.

Then you need to paste the link to the webpage in the “http://” field and choose “Attach”

With the little arrows, you can select a good picture to accompany your link.

The last series of buttons help you to publish your message

Facebook and Twitter

If you’ve attached your Facebook or Twitter account to your MyGarden.org profile, you can post your message directly to these other social networks. How to attach these profiles, I will explain in another blogpost.

And when all the info is added, don’t forget the “Share” button
