									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Andrew. I definitely specified the project I wanted the photos to go into, but only the first 8 went in. I Didn&#8217;t realize this until I was all finished of course. Is there not a way to move existing photos in my main album to a specific project?</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gang I have posted some photos. Started an album called natural swimming pools but the project/photo upload interface seems to pretty much not work anymore so only 8 photos made it into the album. The rest are just in my photos. If anyone knows how to add photos to an existing album please let me know. I can also just create a dropbox folder and a link.</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Roland thanks for the comment.  My only point about the weeds is that in a mowed lawn, weeds are a nonissue because they get mowed off every week.  In a &#8220;lawn&#8221; that is not mowed you have to deal with weeds in some way.  And that means pulling if you are not mowing.</p>

Down in the virgin island where ALL domestic water is what falls from the sky they catch it on the roof, run it inot a tank and drink it. Period. Sometime there is a simple cartridge filter in the mix. I know they don&#8217;t have the air pollution issues we do, but It makes you think about how simple this really all could/should be.</p>
