 > New botanical line drawings by Judith Finn have been added to the
 > database for the following species:
 > 
 >     [Cephalotus follicularis] [Darlingtonia californica] [Dionaea
 >     muscipula] [Drosera binata] [Drosera capensis] [Drosera
 >     spatulata] [Nepenthes rafflesiana] [Pinguicula moranensis]
 >     [Sarracenia leucophylla] [Sarracenia purpurea] [Utricularia
 >     alpina]

 > Also, I've changed the way the images are presented.  Now you only
 > get a small preview image when you click on the database entry.  This
 > should keep the loading time down for people on slow networks. 
 > 
 > If you want a better copy of the image to look at or keep, simply
 > click on the image or the caption.  This will cause an external
 > viewer to be spawned with a larger copy of the image.  You can then
 > save it wherever you want.  This should be easier than the way it
 > used to work. 
 > 
 > In the first month of the database, there have been 750 accesses from
 > 103 different sites!

 > Please consider contributing your photos to the project.  Credit is
 > given to the photographer in each entry. 
 > 
 > Also, if anyone wants to write a FAQ for any particular species or
 > genera, these can be linked into the database too.  If you would like
 > to contribute in a more formal way, Jan has some guidelines that can
 > be used to structure a species monograph.  If you'd like to
 > contribute a monograph or a FAQ, please check with me first so you
 > don't duplicate someone else's effort. 
 > 
 > Keep those scans coming in - We've got a 2-gigabyte disk just waiting
 > to be filled up with CP lore!  :-)
