recording weight etc
Could we have an area where we can record the weights and sizes of our torts?
I recently had to reset my computer and forgot to save my tortoise records. I have posts on here that mention the weights etc but trawling through my post is a mammoth task. I've seen a forum (poetry) where you can store your poems for your own reference, is that feasible?

Piece of paper and a fridge magnet are what we use!

I've got a notebook and fill it in each time they're weighed and measured. It's a nice visual way of seeing their progress. The Jackman Ratio charts are stuck in there too.
Just me fulfilling my stationery fetish....

I had them written down but the note book seems to have wandered off. Kian probably made paper planes out of it.
I had charts on my laptop and forgot to save them to my memory stick when I got a virus and had to reset everything.

We had a virus earlier this year and lost quite a bit of stuff but thankfully the computer engineer managed to get most of it back. I'm useless at remembering to back it up.

I had a filing box for my torts details, papers, weights, dates etc I don't trust my computer with things I need to keep, I also have a box for the car, one for important papers and another for bills. I always like to know where they are.

All very good ideas but what if the unthinkable happened and there was a flood or a fire and we lost all the records? If it was online we would still have them. Like all my photos, I have over a thousand on photobucket and know they are safe.

a football forum I used to frequent had a section in your profile area which was titled 'Notes' and it allowed to to keep text in there for whatever reason. It was only seen by the user. It was the same forum host as this one
