Ken,
U da man!

John,
U da man!

By the way, I think it is a total line of BS about it being the users that make the site great :-)..... If you build it, they will come......

Way to go! You've got a winner here!
I'm also trying to get growers from Russia and Ukraine and other countries round the world into BP. BP is a GROWTH Industry! Forget about the stock market!

Dave has a point there.. Ken & John ever thought about doing a similar site in different languages?

Ceis:

No need to, all Ken and John have to do is provide a link to here:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/

and the user just types in bigpumpkins.com and bang the website shows up in what ever language they want, German, French, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish etc. etc.

Ken And John: A link could be put on the left on the main page or at the bottom with a pin like below POST REPLY.

A while ago I did up a website that all the user had to do was select the language and press ok no need to go to altavista as it pulled the info from there and posted it. I'll try to find the cgi script I wrote if you want...

What a site! We should all send in a picture of ourselves and create one HUGE collage of growers. What a cool picture that would be. Thanks again.

The babelfish results often produce a good laugh if you read it eg. from English into German. Words occur I´ve never seen before. Translation will still be a traditional job if you want to avoid misunderstandings.
