Approx 15 years ago I was pretty good at creating websites.  This was
before GUI software when we just wrote up the code in notepad and it
worked - but it was pretty basic stuff, nothing fancy.  Then I got
away from it.  Now I'm back trying to create a personal site and I'm
loving (and drowning in) the fancy stuff.

I am waaayyy out of my league.  I'm also not very good about asking
for help.  I hate to admit defeat but I've been beating my head into
the wall for a week now and I can't afford the time.  I have gone
through the tutorials and I have grabbed snippets of code to test but
I just can't get it to work for me - probably syntax issues...

Anyway, I want custom markers.  I would love to have fancy ones but to
keep things easy (I thought) for myself I just re-colored the goggle
default lettered markers.  However, nothing I have tried, no matter
how easy it appeared, has allowed me to change the default marker.

Here is the page I'm working on.  Where you see the default marker on
the map is my garden.  The correct marker would be the 'R' marker for
'residential'.  The long-term plan is to mark daylily gardens from all
over the world which means a lot of markers.  At this time I have
divided them into 4 categories of 'commercial', 'display', 'public'
and 'residential' with a different marker for each category and the
ability to filter the markers.

And here's my test bed of stuff that doesn't work for me...

I'm hoping to end up with something that I can edit easily.  I do want
to create a 'Pin My Garden' form on my website for people to fill out
that will send me their info so that I can add their garden pin to my
map.

I appreciate any help you can offer... just make sure you talk 'down'
to me because this stuff is really making my head hurt.  :)

Thanks,
Marianne
