The Maryland Native Plant Society (MNPS) is an all-volunteer organization of individuals with a passion for conserving native plant habitats. Initially, I offered my services to add new sections to the site: chapters and plant survey data. Later on, I assumed full content management responsibilities, which included tracking down the owners of old content and convincing them to update it, or to allow us to remove it. The goal is to keep the site current and relevant.

Many of the members use dial-up to access the Internet. Simplicity and compactness of design was essential to maintain a reasonable level of performance.

• designed a new page layout for the major units of the site
• developed chapter pages
• developed survey data pages
• validates to HTML 4 Strict DTD
• uses main style sheet plus one for printing, to not print the navigation menus
• uses no tables for layout

Note: Almost all content is written by other members of the MNPS. My role is primarily to edit the content for spelling, grammar, brevity, and consistency.
