Dear members, It is to inform you that our old efloraofindia google site <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/> may go away by 30.9.21.
The decision was informed to us by Google in the starting of August, 2020. We were quick to react to the situation and got our new efloraofindia.com site immediately, after discussing the modalities among us. By the grace of God, we could get our old site migrated to the new one and get it working from 4.12.21, with minimum possible damage. I have been trying to reset the formatting of pages, which got disturbed on migration to new sites, as and when I get the time and opportunity to edit a page. Functionality of this Wordpress site is a little bit different from the earlier google site, as discussed earlier at eFlora of India new site- Old vs New navigation <https://efloraofindia.com/2020/12/04/eflora-of-india-new-site/>. It has been since last ten months, I have been working on this site and find it very useful without any issues unlike Google sites. Many advantages I found are enumerated below: 1. ‘Unusual traffic’- Resolved in the new site <https://efloraofindia.com/2021/01/14/unusual-traffic-resolved-in-new-site/>: This used to be a major headache for me while going through genus and family pages, which had numerous images. 2. All our displayed images on the site, are stored in our own site unlike those stored on google groups earlier. Time taken in displaying images on the new site is faster than at the old site. 3. Wordpress (our current site) is the most used website software in the world with market share of around 40 %. Thus, easier to understand all over the world w.r.t. its functionality. 4. Search with image name <https://efloraofindia.com/2021/01/12/search-with-image-name/> 5. No issues since its launch so far, unlike those in our earlier Google sites. I hope our transition is smooth as it has been so far. -- With regards, J.M.Garg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
