What do you need in an "A Way with Words" website? A pony named "Snowflake"? Sure! Respond here or by email to all@wywd.us. All ideas welcomed! Be detailed, optimistic but realistic, and forward-looking.

Thanks!

Grant

Hi Grant,

Thanks for asking. When I'm browsing the threads and decide to login for a response, it takes me from there to my profile page. From there, it's another 2-3 clicks to get back to the thread. Back button doesn't work. Used to be, after login, I'd be whisked right back to the thread I came from. Other than that, I love the website design. Thanks again.

Martha once recited the poem 'i carry your heart…'
I for one would never know it if I didn't catch that by chance.
Maybe she can do that here once a month.

Hello Grant and Martha, or should I say Martha and Grant, (I head trip about things like that, you are both so equally matched.)

I would definitely like to have a search button on the new website. For instance, when I see a plastic bag blowing in the wind, and especially caught up in a tree, I always remember your program and delight in the fact that there is a   name for this and you gave a few, trouble is I can only remember one, witches britches, but there were other names I liked, and I've been trying to remember which program the topic came up.

Robert, do you mean you couldn't find the poem?

Thank you. A site-wide search field will appear on all pages. For now, there's one in the right column of the front page which should do the trick.

I mean something like 'English of the month', unless she is already doing that on the radio.

The key is the audio-- I am one of the folks who might read printed E.E. Cummings all day long and still miss the extraordinary parts, until I hear someone read them, which in this case I heard Martha only by chance.

Can we have some way to show the radio episodes by 'first aired' ?

(Currently they are listed by 'last post' )

(I put 'Apr-06-12 ' in the search string-- got no results)
