Forgot, to mention...you can also add new entries by clicking in the link in the right column's 'Add a New Butterfly' box

No problem now Stu. The edit button has magically appeared!

Yes I see those but when I hover the only link that seems to be working is register.The symbol of a pencil which I thought would work doesnt nor does the plus one

Edit: Am I stupid or what hehehe.I already found how to edit the various butterflies but just could not work out how to add one.Not that I have one but never mind.I thought the buttons were the link
I then went to the add box and it says there to click here to add to the mammel list.Mind you that was slightly confusing.Of course when I clicked that lo and behold there was all the different species and the means to add etc. I am a daft so and so sometimes but I do get there in the end

Glad I am not the only one that assumed that the + button was what you have to press but look further down where it says to click to add to mammels and the page comes up to be able to add to drop down lists for various stuff

I found a little info on the Wall Brown not much but added to it so I have now got the hang of it

Welcome - otter - and thanks for your contribution so far (plenty to read on the Clouded Yellow). And to you, cherrybee, for doing some editing.

I hope you'll find it as satisfying as I do - I love pulling together information and then building up a text 'picture' on the A - Z. All my own work!

Carry on compiling.

Hi Otter,

The add graphic was meant to be graphic, rather than a button, but I've made it into a button now. You should also be able to use the links at the bottom of the 'Add a ...' box in the right column, and there's another one in the left-hand column under 'create content'

hey I am enjoying this editing lark and it will help me to learn too.Trying to word descriptions in my own words come a little harder lol so I just leave some out change a couple or add where necessary.The descriptions I find are nearly always worded the same in the 3 books I have anyway.Handy to have several books as there is sometimes a little more in each oneI just hope I am doing it right lol.Wasnt sure how wingspan was measured so checked in my little gem and added how it was measured with the measurement hope this is ok
