Website Gets 33,000 Hits Per Year
r
Question: Where can you find a recipe, get the
latest temperatures for our area, learn how to protect plants from
chilly temperatures and get 66 ways to save money, all on one website?
Answer: the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural
Sciences/Nassau County Extension Office website at Nassau.ifas.ufl.edu.
"Kathy Warner does our website totally," said IFAS Extension
Agent Rebecca Jordi.
"It used to get about 610 hits a year, now it gets over 33,000!" raves
Jordi. "(She receives) no pay at all and she has done an incredible
job. She started out with about six to eight pages and now has over
300. She has been fabulous."
Warner edits and maintains
the Nassau County Extension website, writes the
Horticulture
News newsletter every other month and volunteers as a Master Gardener.
"I love plants. I love animals. I enjoy nature. I want to make
a difference, no matter how small it may be," Warner said when
asked why she volunteers.
"The Master Gardener Volunteer program is a great way to make
new friends, learn about gardening in Florida and give back to the
community while having lots of fun."
Warner also volunteers for the Nassau Humane Society, editing and
maintaining its website and performing other tasks.
The Warner household is made lively by beloved
pets obtained through various animal rescue organizations, including
dogs Zoomer and Zephyr and cats, Big Bad Billy Bob and Bubba. In
addition to her four-footed sweethearts, Warner shares her Fernandina
Beach home with her husband, Bob.
