Thank you, Bruce B, you're doing an amazing job and a great service for Puppy users Very Happy

Thanks all for your compliments.

Primarily the web pages are meant for forum users. Primarily my idea is the web pages will make it easy to find many resources fast.

Big sites like russoodle's should have their sub-sites listed. I'll do that when the time seems right. For example below is just a portion of what russoodle's site offers. Compare now with future

Presently
Russoodle's PuppyLinux Stuff

How it should be
Russoodle's PuppyLinux Stuff

But it takes a little time.

I followed my own suggestion in the post above and added a table with all the sites at russoodle's site.

I've done a favicon you could use.

Thanks darkcity, looks great, check it out.

You've been doing excellent work on puppylinux.org.

Notice how I arranged russoodle and smokey01 tables to add categories. If you want to make a list of categories for what's on puppylinux.org, I'll do the same for it.

It doesn't have to be 100% complete, 90% will do. I don't need or even want the urls, just text enough to show users, especially new users what is on the site.

Bruce the link below identifies a useful idea that is commensurate with your skills.

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=549588#549588

A page sorted by categories of links to PET packages on the forum.

I think this would be very popular.

Hi Bruce, thanks for offering links for .org categories. Will look into this, still trying to get my head round whats on the wiki. Also, I believe some content needs rewriting to make it easy for beginners to read. ; -)

Bruce B,

Thanks for your work. The organization is appreciated.

@MikeMT Thanks. I'm just getting started. I updated the page today. My favorite new entry is the Puppy of the day picture. Check him out.

@smokey01 - in the meantime, I added a pet search link. Shows forum pets for this year, newest pets to oldest

@darkcity - yeah, it's hard to figure out what's on the .org

Bruce, this is outstanding work.

Although you have a keyword search engine, would it be possible to
get the entries in alphabetical order? I believe this would help when doing a quick scan of what is available by category.

Great Job! Keep up the good work.

Yarddog,

An alphabetical would be super if the page authors had been mindful that the first letters of their topic titles would someday be key. But here is a sample of how an alphabetical sort can work out.
